HIV vaccine reported to be successful in trials

And since baldness is a global epidemic that drastically and negatively affects the lives of millions of people, the number of companies trying to cure hair loss is really like a drop in the ocean. And plus, I don't even think Lauster is trying to cure baldness. I think he just discovered something major, and then sat on his ass and did nothing.

Lauster's work, as far as I know, was not for curing hair loss, but for finding ways to end animal testing. There was news about the European Union calling for a complete end on animal testing which, if his artificial hair and skin model works, then they can use that for testing. As for a cure for hair loss, I think thats more of a side project, but in my mind, has far greater potential for rewards.

HIV is an easier condition to treat that hair follicular neogenesis. Want to know why there aren't any great solutions to AGA yet? Because it's a really ****ing complex problem. We are talking about neogenesis and when that enters the conversation, you walk the fine line with cancerous growth. Just because AGA isn't life threatening doesn't mean it's not extremely difficult to treat/cure.

Now stop complaining. Follica very likely has the solution.

But we don't necessarily even need neogenesis as follicles stay in tact and apparently go dormant which is proved by finasteride and minoxidil regrowing lost hair. We don't really need neogenesis, we'd be fine with just rejuvenating existing follicles to grow again. I'm sure none of us really care how its done as long as its done period.

BTW, i am one of the few people who aren't waiting for a cure, but for a better treatment than wht we have now.

A treatment that regrowth hair, an injectable solution like Histogen where you don't have to apply it every day like minxo and propecia. with no side effects.

I don't care to be injected every few months and have a normal amount of hair, i don't need more than that.


I believe a cure will take more than a decade, but i am not waiting for cure, just a better version of minoxi+propcia in injectable way. that's it. I am a realistic person.

But what if that doesn't work for an NW5+?

And what about this? It's one step after the other apparently...but it won't be used for MPB I guess..

Anyway, my two cents about neogenesis.
Correct, I'd like to have a cure which creates new follicles. But before that, If it was me, I'd rather try to cure the existing ones.

One of these days I was wondering if creating a new thread titled "Describe your own cure if you were the big player in the hairloss industry".

If histogen could grow hair on temples in its phase IIa, i believe (or hope) that they will be able to reverse baldness.

I don't think we will have a head full of perfect hair, but enough nice hair to walk with in confidence.

I'm still afraid that they will come up with a preventive cure, making us NW5-7 the last bald men in history.

That' a horror story.

Even if Histogen releases only a 'treatment' here's how it will HAVE to turn out:

Follica releases a superior treatment thats basically a cure. Histogen's less effective treatment is then made inferior, but not obsolete. In order to compete, they lower the price of their procedure to reflect their efficacy at such a price that makes sense compared to Follica. They stay in the game, and compounding between Histogen + Follica/Replicel/etc becomes a reality and a potentially a great addition to even greater results.

Who knows what kind of results we could see if Replicel's cell based solution were boosted with Histogen's HSC? Perhaps even taking finasteride for a short period of time during those treatments to reduce DHT (and possibly allow WNT proteins as DHT may inhibit it) would yield even greater results?

Whatever the case is, Histogen will be an awesome addition. Will be really interesting to see how things play out.

I remember seeing a few documentaries where cancer was cured on a third of the patients, it should be on Netflix. The greedy, corrupt FDA just bankrupted the doctor using taxpayers dollars.

I think that the reason we don't have a cure yet, is becaus of Joe from Staten Island. Companies are making too much money out of him, and he is probably getting a couple of million to keep the cure to himself.

[burtandernie]

Yeah I like when they report stuff super prematurely. How about you tell us when its like done and proven?

[Notcoolanymore]

This news is not important to us, because as hair loss sufferers we don't get laid any way so we have no need to worry about contracting STD's.

LMAO!

Oh wait, thats not actually funny.

[Thinning87]

Maybe bcs its ****ing more important to cure HIV and cancer!!!!!

Sometimes I really ask myself wtf is wrong with some people in this forum. I read somewhere people even considering getting castrated to save their hair. Just sad...

Yeah sriously
