7th World Congress for Hair Research (2013)

[UK_]

Dazza, I think you're deluding yourself, when you can count the number of organisations researching hair loss treatments on one hand, something kind of tells you its not "5 years away".

[Dazza]

not sure if linking to another site is aloud tho there is a simular post on Hair site that might be worth a read

just replace the **** with hair site ( minus the space )

I never once said treatments are "5years away". Im not deluding myself also.

looks like my link doesn't work. Anyways the thread in on hair site if you guys want a read. Its all 7th World Congress for Hair Research related.

Link works if you type in Hairsite.

The topical finasteride looks interesting - but im not interested if its 5 years away.

How can we get hold of this now?

The topical finasteride looks interesting, How can we get hold of this now?

Once the study is released to the public im guessing it will explain the vehicle in which the finasteride was delivered topically?

Tho i agree does look interesting

Dr Nigam will be meeting with Histogen on the 11th May - hopefully we can find out if Dr Nigam can get hold of some kind of license off Histogen to offer HSC in his clinic?

Also, poster 448 (Full-thickness skin with mature and cycling hair follicles using tissue culture expanded human cells) looks very interesting. Isn't that more or less what Histogen is trying to do?

Hey, you stole my line!

lol, at least hes not quoting from jarjar..

mahahaha yeah I thought it was a good post (nice to see some common sense for a change) thought 2 forums would be better than one.

Pentarou,
1)The swiis/japanese company product manager approached me for mini clinical trial of their topical CG210 alone or in conjunction with oral or topical finasteride foam.They provided me with few samples.
Can only tell about it's efficacy after using the same.
2)P-3074 a topical 0.25%finasteride with special delivery vehicle called HYDROXYPROPYL CHITOSAN(HPCH),a film forming agent,with single daily topical dosage showed reduction in scalpDHT by 71.2% as against oral finasteride which showed reduction of scalp DHT by 51.1% with equal period of therapy.
With Annika Vogt coming up with nano particulate and virus like targetted delivery vehicles(to every aspect of follicle ,including stemcells)..oral finasteride will be in the grave yard soon..and it's systemic sexual side effects could be avoided.

Dr Nigam, has there been any signs at the congress that any business attending is likely to launch any new anti-hairloss products, however minor, in the next 5 years or less?

[TO YOUNG TO RETIRE]

Dr Nigam we really apreciate your effort,


we all thank you , we hope we ll talk about these in detail soon

As always, you're exaggerating things. Sure, nanoparticle assisted drug delivery is going to be one of the biggest pharma breakthroughs of this decennium but not 'soon' as in next year. Very interesting progress is currently being made, one of the biggest concerns of course was the toxicity, so bio-degradability is key and just yesterday this awesome news came out: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0507115506.htm however research here is still pre-clinical. By the time nano particle assisted drug delivery is a main stream thing, we'll hopefully have a real cure like Team Tokyo's available as well.

Of course toxicity in case of fina load is not that much of an issue but still, if the biodegredability kinetics aren't right, it's not going to improve things

The nanotech you're thinking of is the Star Trek whacko science.

The nanotech these biotechnology professionals are talking about are the same technology they currently use in a number of skin creams such as most famously sun lotion which reduces systemic absorbtion/side effects.

Whats the point?
