7th World Congress for Hair Research (2013)

[Desmond84]

OK guys, as most of you know, we were unable to send a representative on behalf of the BTT to the Congress! So we need to wait a few more days to get more information about what was discussed at the Congress... So plz be patient


I personally have been blown away by the amount of effort Dr Nigam has put in to keep us up to date, which is very refreshing...a big shout out to him for understanding how much pain we are all in and how much it would mean to us to find out what was discussed!

Now, for those waiting on updates for Histogen, Aderans & Replicel please note the following:

1) Histogen & Replicel will be presenting their 12 month Phase I/IIa results on 8th of May...I am more than certain that within minutes of their presentation, all major media outlets will also release their findings...so that's a big plus for those that are not attending the "Investigative Dermatology Conference".

2) Aderans: Unfortunately Aderans will NOT be presenting their Phase 2 results at this conference as we discussed earlier. We managed to find the Abstract of their presentation and it is completely irrelevant! So plz, don't be dismayed once we find out their presentation had nothing to do with their Phase 2 trials...I myself am VERY disappointed and everyday seem to have less and less faith in their Ji Gami method! But that's life...

As a good friend of us on BTT mentioned: Thomas Edison once said "I have not failed 700 times. I've succeeded in proving 700 ways how not to build a lightbulb"...sadly that's Aderans in a nushell...

The Congress abstracts will be on the Journal of Investigative Dermatology website in about a week, I am told

[UK_]

Dr Nigam seems like the only person in this industry enthusiastic and eager to find a better solution, everyone else seems lethargic & defeated.

**** this.

And also by dr Nigam:

Spoke at length with washniek,cotsarelis,jahoda,stenn kurt,randl,phillipot,fuchs,wand,gerd,wang...and others.
Will discuss every relevant topic with you all after the end of the congess.
Fortunately most of these researchers were cooperative and open to discussions and sharing .
Some new development regarding postamide receptors,prostaglandin receptors,nano particulate delivery of activators to stemcells,dp..
Ne models of reseacrh with human hair follicle at the lab in vitro.
I have taken with all the above researchers and will post them.
Boldy is doing good work and spoke to him on skype yesterday regarding the development in the congress

[bananana]

I've googled the news, but couldn't find nothing relevant so far.

Dr Nigam said this thou on another forum:

"Videos have been taken by the organisers for only those presentations whose authors are open to share thier findings and will be posted on the website of the hair research congress in a weeks time.
I will share my meetings and discussions with.. JAHODA,COTSARELIS,WASHNIEK,PHILLIPOT,FUCHS,KURT STENN,GERD,RANDALL,PAUS,WANG AND OTHERS SHORTLY WITH PICS AND TOPIC DISCUSSIONS..."

Looking forward to reading that.

Much love, Des. Always the optimist. Thanks for the continued updates. And much love to my balding brathas on tbt forum. Keep strong.

[stayhopeful]

So isn't all this stuff taking place now? Where are the updates? This thread gets like 100 posts a day but now on the days that there's stuff going on, there's barely any posts. Does any one know any news?

Hit the nail on the head... This is the most listless day on the forum and paradoxically it's supposed to be the hair congress.. Oh well I should have guessed this would happen

[Thinning87]

let's not all rely on one person to do the work... let's all search for the info...

[clandestine]

Updates in time, I'm sure. Just wait for Desmond, guys.
