I tried to contact the docs who did the testing but they did not respond. But this is not a bad sign. It's actually a good sign. It shows they aren't a bunch of charlatans looking to sell some gimmick. It means that there's a high probability that the study is legit. The people involved aren't trying to sell anything. It appears that they only ran the study to see what would happen. Now we need to figure out a way to get some doctor to try it where it's legal.Comment

Hey, sorry, nothing to do but...is Histogen already dead?
ThanksComment

Yeah it's not dead but it's not exactly tap dancing. The fact they clearly haven't been able to attract an investor, and the fact they've started to diversify, are both bad signs IMO.
The results were good but not stellar and I don't think they were good enough to really get anybody interested enough to fund the next stage.
Which is pretty much the story with Aderans too. Ironically the only one to get an investor is Replicel, who seem to have had the worst results of the three. Go figure.Comment

it's possible Replicel had the best theory of the three or showed the japanese company something they really liked so they invested in it. Replicel in theory is very intriguing, just underwhelming with early results.
Still we havent heard from Histogen in over a year and doesnt look like we will any time soon, either way, would it have been much better than BIM or CB which both look to be on track to release within a few years?Comment

the replicel results we saw were very early on..i guarantee they had better results in order to get the investors moneyComment

If they're culturing in 3D, we should see some results. Which begs the question:
Aderans proved to give some results and completely halt further loss with 2D culturing of DP cells. The industry trolled us once again and pulled funding from finishing Phase III trials (I would have easily paid to halt further loss).
But why are you still dicking around with all this hypothetical crap about Dr. Jahoda's methods working or not? We know that follicles don't disappear, they simply miniaturize. So why are we NOT currently running trials culturing DP cells in 3D and injecting them back in...? If Replicel is hoping to rejuvenate existing miniaturized follicles, then 3D cultured DP cells injected back in should work similarly and perhaps give better results than their 2D cultured counterparts.
WHY is the industry trolling us so god damn hard?! WHY is everything taking so god damn long?!Comment

Hello Desmond I donīt know if you read this stuff but... Would it be possible for you to talk with Spencer about what we found out to clear things up. It seems that a lot of people are more confused than before the WCHR
have a nice one

Soooooo?Comment

So instead of wondering if things are 10+ years away, now you know.
I'm hoping Jahoda will make a new video snickering about how it's been 30 years since he published his first paper. I have a feeling that everyone who's 25+ will likely not benefit from any of this research.. It'll likely be too late for most of us.
What's the point of suffering from hair loss during the prime years of your life (20-35) only to get a full mop of hair back when you're 45. Like I said before, it will be SUCH a kick in the teeth if that happens. I don't know about you, but I DON'T want to know what I missed out on during the course of my prime years, no thanks. It's now or never. I have a feeling JFSI would go into an even more depressed state if that happened, seeing how much of his life he missed out on.
It's beyond me why Tsuji Labs, Cotsarelis, Jahoda/Christiano and Lauster's team don't get together under one roof and solve this issue TOGETHER. Unless some sort of major collaboration happens, this could very well take a LONG time. Not to mention, what's so hard about working together ? Each team has valuable information and maybe, just maybe, when they combine their efforts, we might actually have something to look forward too.Comment

wow I go away for a while and you guys send Desmond to South Korea! Good work guys! However I have to say I am quite disappointed, it seems that we now know for sure nothing is coming soon, I was hoping Follica was getting close. So outside of some out of nowhere cure we are all screwed.Comment

There is a Histogen-like treatment that would probably give a bunch of us back a satisfying amount of hair and protect it but for some reason I can't fathom we are not pursuing it. It is possible that we could get it soon but we are ignoring it for no good reason. I'm starting to think that the guys are more interested in griping instead of being pro-active.Comment
