lets vote who thinks replicel will be available in 2018 and why?

[Renee]

I agree with nameless.


Here is quote below from a press release in 2013 when replicel and shisheido announced their partnership.

"Having paid a 400 million yen contract free, shisheido will combine replicel's hair regenerative medicine technology and its own technology and aim to commercialize safe and effective hair regenerative medicine that integrates beauty and medicine to help those concerned about pattern baldness and thinning hair ."

I also think that Shisiedo is doing its' own research. I think they're doing research into iSP for hair growth. They have their own iSP researchers on staff so why wouldn't they have their iSP researchers do work with iSP cells for hair growth?

I think it will work because it has alot of hype around it

[brocktherock]

Nobody made up anything, Shisheido is doing their own separate treatment approach.

No they're not, the structure of their trial may be different but it's still rch-01. They never once said anything other than that. You're probably confused because of the replicel videos on youtube but if you watch again, half the show was replicel and half was tsuji's research.

Shiseido paid Replicel for licensing rights to RCH-01, they are conducting their own trial of the technology and sharing their results. With Japanese regulations being reformed, they can bring it to the market during the phase 2 trial. People completely made up the fact that Shiseido is doing their own separate treatment approach. Also, I hate delays as much as anyone but they're less than six month behind schedule. That hardly means that Replicel is dead or they lied about anything.

[Renee]

I've been saying all along shisheido is working on its own method, hopefully that article was accurate and in 2018 they cure baldness.

My basic understanding is replicel licensed out their technology to shisheido, and shesheido is free to bulid upon and improve the process if they are capable of doing so.

Thats my hope, is that they have made some sort of improvements and that's what's been the delay. it's an optimistic view and I don't normally do that. we shall see

Link below is the agreement between RepliCel and Shiseido.

@baldybald: where did you here that? So how could you explain that there will be two trials of RCH-01: one conducted by Replicel and one by Shiseido?

[baldybald]

Ok so basically we might have now two different approaches to this tech - one of Shiseido and one of Replicel?
If so, it's even better than we all thought.

No, only shiseido. In fact I heard that replicel gave shiseido the control for the hair treatment to handle it.

Yeah but assuming their phase 2 actually has results. Getting 5% growth like in phase 1would be garbage.

I'm dying as **** to hear their update!!! Sounds like all what we said about them ( about the delays and that replicel is dead) is false?? Wtf is this.
Also I don't really understand. Replicel still working on the tech? So what Sheseido is doing? Didn't reallyget the diff between these two companies regarding the hair loss solution. Any explanation?
