Big Replicel news

[Artista]

Reminder: it's been a whole calendar year since Replicel announced its terrible phase 1 results.

Terrible? Why do you (and a % of others here ) consider it 'terrible'?
Is it because you had expected an overnight cure ?
Please dont get me wrong, Im not being critical. Im trying to put this into a logical perspective. Clinical trials are progressive.
With that frame of mind, those results provided to us from Replicel were actually great results.
On April 30th ,They had recently shown some great scientific head-way...
"RepliCel Announces New Tendon Repair Technology Based on its Hair Follicle Cellular Expertise"
(later on in the story)
"In parallel to the tendon project, RepliCel continues to develop its cellular treatment for androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) named RepliCel Hair-01 (RCH-01). For the past few months RepliCel has been working with regulators to assemble a formal clinical trial application for submission to the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut (PEI), the German competent authority for human clinical trials involving cell therapy. In conjunction, the Company will make a submission to the responsible Ethics Committees. The trial is designed to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of injections of RCH-01 in approximately 120 male participants and will also provide insight into the optimal treatment regimen for hair growth."

Replicel is a great company doing many great things. Hang in there.

FWIW, I hope that Replicel succeeds.

Me too Pentarou , dont allow any negativity to take hold within.
This forum is here as a support system for all of us.

Replicel have also developed a new cell culture protocol - hopefully this will lend to better clinical outcomes!

RepliCel’s Phase II study will be supported by a new cell culture protocol. This new process has given rise to improved cell replication and cell vitality leading to a more robust cellular product available for injection. This second generation process has been accepted by the regulators. This is consistent with our goal of isolating the lowest effective dose to maximize hair growth.

The trial will confirm the efficacy and safety of injections of RCH-01 in approximately 120 male participants.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

I don't care who finds the cure or a solid treatment as long as its made available SOON.

My money is on replicel and aderans as a permanent solution (to what degree of growth we see remains to be known).

Lauster's silence is starting to piss me off.

Lebron James gets quite a bit of stick from his teammates for his receding hairline.

I don't know why if you're not going to do anything about your hair loss, you don't just shave it off. He wants to give the impression that he has hair so badly, that he covers his hairline with a headband. Some one has to tell him about Propecia/Avodart and Rogaine. He probably tried them but failed to realize you need to give it time. Lebron needs to join BTT so we can help the guy out.

Why would a serious athlete take that crap? The last thing he needs to do is take drugs that will chemically castrate him.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe Propecia (Finasteride) is a banned substance under the NBA's prohibited substance policy.

Even if he wanted to somehow save his hair...he couldn't. lol. Besides, FIN would inhibit his performance IMHO on the court. Lowering DHT is not good for muscle growth, speed, and stamina. I'm an athlete and I would personally tell Lebron that. Stay away from that drug if you want to perform at a high level and in top physical shape.

Propecia personally affected me in all the areas above on the football field and basketball court when I took it. Including my physical appearance. I'll save that rant for another day.

Sweet.

Who knows what their results could be like now. Maybe it takes longer for their treatment to take effect?

well as we all know phase one is oriented toward proving efficacy... so hopefully they can do a lot better in phase 2 - like Histogen

Never lose faith. One day science and technology will save us.

I meant proving safety

[yagazooci]

worthy of quote and note?

Quoted from Replicel's Investor Fact Sheet:

"Marketing And Sales Strategy
The RepliCel™ procedure will be internationally marketed to
medical professionals currently engaged in hair transplant
surgery and similar hair restoration programs, as well as
established hair loss and dermatology clinics. The procedure
will be offered via licensing agreements which will deliver two
streams of revenue to the company:
1. Procedure Access & Training (PAT) fees: An annual charge to
clinics for training and access to the RepliCel™ procedure.
2. Biopsy & Cell Replication (BCR) fees: A per-patient charge to
clinics and professionals for each procedure undertaken by
RepliCel approved laboratories."

As I look at the Replicel website's "Product Pipeline" under RCH-01-Hair, it looks as if Replicel, according to the black arrow in the graphic after "License", has already sold one of these "licencing agreements" to grow hair. That'd be a very good sign if someone actually bought one of these licensing agreements, wouldn't it?... if that's what it all means.
FYI ... I placed this on another tread here at BTT as well.

Oh sweet, we've got someone who follows basketball.

GO ANYONE-BUT-MIAMI!

Like StayThick, I am also from Miami and a HUGE Heat fan (since 89. I'm now 31. Do the math.). Sorry Hellouser, but hating on the Heat won't deter them from winning their third championship in 7 years. ~

I am also surprised that Lebron hasn't had any "work" done. His crown is thick. His hairline, however, continues to recede. Few thousand grafts should straighten him out. I guess when you are worth millions, hair is not that important.
