Updates on histogen or any other company?

[BackwardsBalding]

Histogen is the company that I am most excited about by far. Their theory about WNT proteins and embryonic-like chemicals promoting hair regrowth is very solid and well-documented. WNT's do have any amazing potential to regrow hair, I think. It also seems that Dr. Ziering is a very decent person and a very knowledgeable doctor. It's great to know that they're testing increased doses of their complex as well. Yeah, that Aderans posting is very old, but I just wish that they hadn't developed a partnership with Bosley, who have a horrendous reputation.

Don't worry when HSC hits the markets by my estimates in 2015 It will speak for it self bosely is very establshed(even if they are absolutely terrible). I see it as a very easy way to get it out to the mass public and smart strategic move and the evidence of is success will far outway Bosleys terrible reputation. The hair follicle is blocked and they are giving the growth factors needed at the follicle level (injected above the blood supply in a sense). This is why I am so convinced it will work. Also if anybody is in research and develpment it might be smart to take blood from the artery somehow above the head where the hormones for growth are distributed above the thyroid and inject that into the scalp. Just a thought

Bosley is not the company that is testing HSC the company is Histogen.
Aderans who own Bosley are working on a different approach to hair cloning.

In all honesty, I'm far more excited about Gho than I am about Histogen, I think a surgical procedure is a far more viable solution to hair loss. The only thing with Gho, is that I remember being this excited 12 years ago, and look what happened then.

They began testing in June?

They may be able to measure the effect of the injection in several ways, but I suppose the cheapest way is simply to count hairs before and after. That is what they did for the phase 1 trials, and since hair grows rather slowly, they did a first count after the 3 month mark.

With this in mind I would not expect any news at all until at least 3 months after they actually started the trials, and I would not be surprised if they didn't give any major update after a year.

Public relations has never been the strong side of those scientist types.

the more i think about it, the more i love the idea of surgical restoration over injectible.

because with a surgical HM you can touch the hair and you know its real donor surviving hair which can fill gaps after years if needed. If you start early with your restoration you wont suffer any thinned out areas or completely bald areas
