I really hope you're right about Aderans
I guess they had a lot of hopes for it with a lot of scientific backing! Anyhow we'll know by June this year!
With regards to Tsuji lab if you read their interviews with the media back in April 2012 pretty much they always mentioned the 10 year delay to market. Here's a link if you like:

'We would like to start clinical research within three to five years, so that an actual treatment to general patients can start within a decade'
Dr. Lauster will have even more red tape to cut through being in Germany and all.
If you think about it though, there's a lot they have to come up with. For example:
- How many hairs can they multiply from a 1cm2 graft? Is there a limit to their multiplication technique?
- Where are they going to grow the new hairs before transplantion? (In a medium or an animal (e.g. pigs))
- Potential risks of growth mediums & safety data
- etc etc
I mean if you look at Aderans, their technology is far simpler than Tsuji and they are entering 11 years of research and still haven't started Phase 3! Unfortunately these things take time
