Updates on histogen or any other company?

[sebasmarin]

Did histogen really started their trials in june? Any updates since then? . Or has anyother company come with any of their updates?

[Mojo Risin]

No update for months.

I was very hopeful abt this company. Especially since they were forthcoming with news & information. No updates on trials that were supposed to happen this year.
I guess it isnt possible to find cure for hairloss. I have accepted this fact and moved on. I guess there is a reason why captain picard is still bald in the future..

As far as I know the trials were postponed because of the disasters that hit Japan during the spring.

Lol, that's such an easy excuse. ''We're trailing behind with our trials so let's blame Japan disaster for it ... they'll have no choice but believing us since it's pretty hardcore stuff.''

I suppose. Can't really check validity on that. I just figured it might have in some way affected product shipments/material availability/directly affected researchers or patients and their families. Then again they could just have fallen behind schedule.

Where did you find that info about Histogen delaying trials?

I really wish I could link or quote but it was just some information I ran into while browsing hair loss forums a little while back(a month or so). According to the info it was just a minor delay though. Should perhaps have stated that in my first post to avoid spooking the hopefuls.

Ziering said they would do a few case studies with multiple injections in Japan and he would present the results in a few weeks. After a few weeks he said that there are no results because of what happened in japan.
But this had nothing to do with the clinical trials they are doing in Singapore.

Lets suppose they started the trails in june, what update are you expecting?
Why is no news alway bad news?

[RichardDawkins]

Well i am realistic here, if they dont have some news at all the next few weeks it wont look so good at all

Well there is at least one person with common sense. Thanks LD

Histogen were in a lawsuit (which they won), so wouldn't that maybe slow things down? Just speculation on my part, but it seems logical.

Another company I have some hopes for is Aderan Research, who are reporting
"currently conducting a promising Phase 2 study testing its proprietary hair multiplication process",
and at the same time revealing that
"Experts suggest that a marketable solution is less than a decade away."

So maybe we can be carefully optimistic and hope for something to hit the shelves in 5-6 years?

(PS. these updates are probably not particularly recent).

Also, if you live in the US, I think you can still sign up for the phase 2 testing. They have a recruitment page up:

I apologize if my post is all old news, but I am completely new to the forum.

This thread seems to be attracting some really outdated news.

Histogen started in June - so dont expect an update until atleast late september.

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.
