    Ok guys! you're right. Maybe "risking his reputation" is not the correct statement, but anyway I don't think we would be taking his time to look into it and made it public if he didn't have seen Nigam was onto something. But of course that's just my opinion...

    Regards

      Everyone seem to regard Dr. Mwamba as a good hair transplant doctor but I would like to point out that just because he is a good doctor does not make him a good researcher.

      He was simply testing out regeneration to remain competitive in his industry, it just so happen that he is trying to learn from the wrong guy.

        When the human genome project began in 1989, critics pointed out that given the speed with which the genome could then be scanned, it would take thousands of years to finish this huge project. Scientists involved however gave an estimate of somewhere around 15 years, little did they know that the fifteen year project would be completed just under 14 years slightly ahead of schedule. This became a great example of "Law of accelerating returns" or in layman terms the "snowball effect".

        The hair regeneration research like everything else is following a very similar path and is close to fruition. Between 1940s to 1980s we managed to find an association between Androgens (DHT) and hair miniturisation. Furthermore, we found that this miniturisation follows a very specific pattern and came up with the Norwood scale. That's all we managed to figure out for well over 30 years. We knew so little about MPB that when Minoxidil was approved we had no idea its mode of action in terms of hair growth. The 1990s was the birth of cell therapy, with Dr Jahoda showing the regenerative powers of human DP cells. The 2000s saw a very focused approach towards unravelling the mysteries of hair cycle and lack of it in MPB.

        From 2010 to present has been nothing but an explosion of information in terms of hair regeneration: Histogen's growth factors, WNT signalling, Prostaglandins, FGFs, BMP signalling, Maintaining DP trichogenicity in culture, hair germ method and the list goes on and on.

        If we put the pace of these discoveries in a graph, you would see a very steep exponential growth in terms of number of papers published per year since 1950s till today.

        We are approaching an era where human hair follicles are grown in a lab to rapidly test efficacy of synthetic compounds on hair growth, DP cells are successfully being multiplied with their trichogenicity intact, new regulations for stem cell therapies are being implemented to ensure rapid access to new cell therapies, 3D scaffolds and organ regeneration are at our doorstep with Kidney, liver, heart and skin tissue all have already been engineered just in 2013 alone.

        SO my friends, don't lose hope...from someone who is passionately following all these breakthroughs, I can promise you we are on the verge of having real options available to us very soon.

        Stay strong and don't lose hope, because without hope life is meaningless.

          It's always a pleasure reading your positive posts Desmond, it almost makes me want to hold off on Finasteride and just wait for a better treatment.

                            Hey JCM, IDK if you saw my posts before 0.25mg Fin TWICE A WEEK is going strong. My hairline has stayed where it was 18 months ago (when I started fin) and all sides have disappeared. Good luck brother.
