Didn't just late last year "they" announce a study that showed slick bald patches had the hair follicile, it was just dormant - basically it refused to grow because of how starved it was?
I'm too lazy to find that article.
"They" was some other organization/university or something.Comment

Being the first area of balding for most men, I think it's excellent that they are trying injections in that area.
1. It will be easier to count hairs
2. it will be easier for us to count hairs!
3. In theory, it being the first area to go bald, means it should be the most difficult to revive, therefore, positive results in the temples is a big big positive.
I'm very happy they're not testing in an area with lots of hair. It would be difficult for us to gauge results, and people would winge "oh great, it works for early to mid stages of balding only?"
Or it might not work at allComment

It might be that something is either preventing the signals or preventing the stem cells from listening.
Skimming over this:
The Japanese 'breakthrough' being talked about today on forums. I'm sure I read somewhere that the DP is the key to keeping stem cells active (even creating stem cells). I think they used a combo of DS and cultured DP cells (correct me if I'm wrong about that, its a bloody long paper to read!).
Injected DP cells have given inconsistent results in the past. Due to the location of DSC cells, I'm hoping they are the key to forming a DP.
So lets hope that Replicels DSC cells will settle down, create a DP, which will go on to create hair and eventually make us all happy
That paper mentions DP have between 500-1000 cells. One thing I'm very curious about >>> If Repicel inject 10,000 DSC cells, and no new hair is produced...what happens to all those cells?????
See you all in two weeks!Comment
