Follica

[UK_]

Maybe someone should complain then about the misleading over-hyped articles they released - why hype something up in the media only for people who dig deeper to be told the cold hard truth.

[UK_]

This is horrible. The only team that I had hope in aren't even in trials. I guess its really time to start accepting it. I am 23 and was hoping in at least 5-6 years there would be something so I can at least enjoy the little youth that I had left.

Hey guess what? That's exactly what WE were all thinking 5 years ago

[crafter]

The email clearly states its from 'Penn Medicine Web Team'

Therefor and obviously, its not from Follica, has nothing to do with Follica and should have no effect on our optimism or pessimism for Follica.

Case closed. Too many of you guys are looking for the negatives... why????

FOLLICA is Cots company - the email states none of his research is undergoing trials.

[hiilikeyourbeard]

maybe they're jerking us around cause they know people are trying to replicate their technique

[locke999]

I just think that if Cotsarelis is representing Penn, and he is doing research there, then they would at least know a little about what is going on and what he is doing. Plus, why would they give contradictory information such as "the team are not in any trials at all", they could of just said they don't know.

That Puretech website is not specific enough, we don't know what procedure that pipeline is for, and when was it last updated. The trials could of been a complete fail so they are back to square one and the site hasn't been updated.

I try to be as positive as I can but when things are skeptical, then I become a skeptic.

edit-

btw Hellouser, any update on how CB / RU combo is working for you. Have you progressed / digressed in the last few months?

[hellouser]

Because I rather be realistic than placing hope on nothing temporarily and then having a bigger fall down the line. Penn does have something to do with it because that is where Cotsarelis, one of the leading researcher for Follica does his research.

Yeah... but for PR they're completely irrelevant. If you want answers about Follica, why would you contact UPenn? Contact Follica to see where they are. But hey, apparently the companys financial backing clearly stating theyre midway in all trials is a lie...

Why are you guys looking for negatives? Would all of you still be looking for negativity if Cotsarelis himself said 'we're halfway in human trials until we've got a commercially available product' ???

They're in the middle of human trials for SOMETHING. They're just in between phases.
