7th World Congress for Hair Research (2013)

Kindly find below the Histogen presentation at WCHR 2013, Edinburg 2013 sent to me by their corporate communication.

I am not aware what results have they published in Oct 2012 and are these results any different from 2012 presentation or no?

These are just the 12 weeks preliminary results of their Phase I/II trial. It seems they still haven't posted the final results.

Hopefully I & Jonathan Mansbridge, (Chief Scientific Officer, Histogen) will be speaking on phone this week and see what best I can come out with for my hair loss community friends for the earliest access, once I am convince with their results in person.

So if histogen comes successfully on the market, you can get a treat of histogen instead of taking propecia to protect your hear?

Winston, thank you for clarifying Desmond's issue and status.

I'm under no illusion that my hairloss journey is probably going to include both more transplants and Histogen.

Histogen will bring back some hair and help me keep what I've got and transplants will fill in some of the bald beyond repair areas.

This is why im seriously considering finasteride, although something about the side effects of the drug keeps stopping me from diving in.

It looks like a one-shot minoxidil that can last up to 2 years and probably a little longer - I feel it has the ability to regenerate hairs that are so minaturized they can hardly be viewed by the human eye.

Still need to know if this is generating new hair follicles though, the fact that Histogen are documenting higher density than hair counts make sense, but what happened to those new hairs that fall into the new hair count? Are these completely new follicles or simply hair that was so minaturized it was unable to be deteced before the injections?

Your guess is as good as mine, but it would be interesting to hear some scientific views to the above questions.

As a side, these are the questions we need professionals like Dr Nigam and Dr Jonathan Mansbridge to help the hair loss community in understanding.

If histogen can regrow some hair, maintain the rest for 10-15 years. That's all the "cure" I'd need when supplementing with a HT. I can't imagine giving two shits what my hair looks like when I'm 40 if I have to deal with it since 22, 24 now.

The poster contains information about the temporal regrowth seen with HSC, it shows a massive increase in density and also increases in total hair counts, however increasing density is always easier than increasing total hair count I guess.

Not, that's why it must be tialed first. the chance that that will happen while there is excising hair follicle is not big and especially when you don't ad keratinocytes. so te goal here is to renew the old follicles with instead of creating new one.

thanks, as always great info.

[Thinning87]

Thinning,
I am aware ,will ask the secretary to do the needful tmr or later tonight on phone.

actually you posted the larger image in a different thread... my bad!

[Boldy]

great information boldy, but how can you ensure that a 100 % correct and natural growth angle will be achieved?

Dr. Nigam thank you so much for posting this but your link is not working and the image you posted is too small for anyone to see.

exactly, there are enough methods to protect the dp from loosing its inductive potential. By keeping ALP Lef1 activity. posible with gsk3b inhibitors, Wnt 10b or 3a, and or keratinocytes . also 3d culture is a big plus.

dps can now easily be cultured for more than 90 weeks without any loss in HF induction ability. regarding the mentioned methods. with the right growth encinronment (medium + growth factors) there are approximately 5 doublings per week.


if you start with just 10 dermal papillas at week one, you will end with bilions at week 90...... enough to cure a army.

I plan to do jahoda like experiment of injecting my follicle dp sheath cells on my forearm this week and see what is the outcome ...
Is this not a huge concern?
