A member asked:

Approx how many years at least can we expect stem cell research come into clinically useful esp. for diabetes and baldness?roughly for an idea!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

5-20 years: Baldness: 5 years, tops. With diabetes there is a long way to go, perhaps 20 years. I hope it happens sooner than that, but that's my best guess based on published data that I have read.
