You cannot compare "developing technology" to developed technology.
There are many brands of bike but I don't see many people riding penny farthings.
That being said, this was a fruitless debate when I had it, unfortunately (for me) the cornerstone of my argument was based on the speculation that Replicel would translate their mouse results of a 50% increase of hair in 100% of cases.
I openly admit that if Replicel do not archive this, then there may be room for more than one Autologous Stem cell treatment in the market place.
Aderans are far further ahead with regards to in human clinical trials, and mouse models are great, but do not necessarily translate to other species.
Please see link.
That being said, you can spend weeks if not months reading on this topic, and realize your only scratching the surface. No one really knows how far along the researchers are, with regards to an effective solution to hairloss.
There are far too many variables to make any sound judgment as to what will happen in the next few years, let alone speculate how and what will come to market.Comment

Well while we wait just that little bit longer, I've decided to rather not have HT surgery until I've tried this first. Might be a two+ year wait, but I'd rather be a little patient than permanently scar my scalp and a bucketload of money.
I've got a few questions which I don't think anyone here might know, but it's worth a shot:
1.How long with the cloning and refining process take of the extracted cup cells? Are we talking hours, days or weeks here?
2.So does this involve many small injections in the applicable area or a few big ones?
3.Since this works best on dormant hair follicles, I imagine this will probably be less effective in areas where HT has taken place?
4.And lastly, this same technology will also help medical science grow us new non-rejectable organs and make us live forever right?

1. 3 months but replicel's developing a way to make it faster.Well while we wait just that little bit longer, I've decided to rather not have HT surgery until I've tried this first.

2. we don't know.
3. yes, i suppose its harder to create follicles.
4. Nobody understands the mechanism of stem cells 100% so something like replicating organs and use them safely is very far away. All replicel is doing is replicating specific cells not stem cells. However stem cell therapies have been applied to other diseases in the world with pretty good results except the US, its all about regulatory agencies bro.Comment

I like Q4.
Probably not in our life time but they're opening Pandora's box here. Ultimately, yes, someday. But a 100 years down the line they'll still have to deal with the elephant in the room; overpopulation. A worthy philosophical debate though.

What will Replicel do if they arent able to surpass or even match the results of Minox or Fin? Will they close shop? Will they add something to their procedure? What changes could they make? What you guys think?Comment
