Hey Hell Sorry I was so excited I forgot to post the link. Here's the link to titles of all abstracts:

You'd rather apply an expensive topical every day than getting cells injected one time and have a full head of hair for many years or maybe the rest of your life?

I'd do both.

I personally would rather use something like CB 03 01 topically then have to get injections into my head. If both work I am going with the topical

my birthday is in may, maybe present ? One can hope.

I've actually got more faith in Histogen than Replicel, mainly because it would allow a combination of an HT plus Histogen's HSC injections for maintenance as well as some regrowth. That would be enough for everyone in the early stages. The growth factors would overpower the effects of DHT and render it useless. Much better than daily Finasteride or daily topical application of CB.

Agreed and that's why I think histogen should be seen as more more of a success than people first gave it credit for. Injections stopping future loss is a major step.

Also these new findings in May look promising, especially with several companies on the ball with it. Look forward to hearing reports from the conference.

Something happened there at close doors

Exactly, and that's what made me angry and depressed..

Hell IMO you are set bro. Go for a nice dense FUE with a conservative nw1.5-2 hairline, keep using minox/RU to maintain the rest. You'll be good for a while that way.

I agree

If Histogen were available it would replace any need for finasteride.
It would benefit the whole range of norwood classes, and would make HTs a much more appealing and more viable option.
This would expand the HT market, benefiting both doctors and patients.

Some might say we don't know how effective Histogen is past the 2 year mark, but the same could have been said for finasteride at the date of its FDA approval. They didn't know how long that would be effective either. Time will tell.

Maybe Arashi is right and we should focuse more on the implications of Jahoda and Tsuji findings and the excitings new pathways opened by those breakthroughs.

I think the attention should be equal to both because I have no desire to wait 10+ years for any of the recent developments to turn into a commercial treatment. That's too long.

Histogen was my favorite too a couple of years ago. The problem i see is the halt of HSC development process due to lack of founding.

Something happened there at close doors, my guess is they expected better results that leaded to substantial regrowth.

I agree that should be the case with histogen and aderans, but last year replicel surprisingly received good backup and money from a big corporation.

Maybe they have something promising.
