Histogen show "cosmetic" results oct 2012 update

[2020]

Do you have any links/studies about the experiments with people with prostate issues?

In vivo Knockdown of the Androgen Receptor Results in Growth Inhibition and Regression of Well-Established, Castration-Resistant Prostate Tumors

http://clincancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/15/1/39.full

This study is the first direct evidence that knockdown of AR is a viable therapeutic strategy for treatment of prostate tumors that have already progressed to the castration-resistant state.

do the same for follicles and baldness will be cured permanently.

According to this, Dr. Gail Naughton must look now like a 20-year-old model (again) – right? Does she?

If not, exactly the same (unchanged to “questionable effects”) WILL happen for baldies after release of Histogen’s hair stimulating complex (HSC).

I cant comment.

But if it doesnt work, the product will bomb.

It is as simple as that.

[yeahyeahyeah]

Wrong. Example: RepliCel. Their only goal is to dick around investors and to sell their patent.

Yeah, well on the flip side. Replicel stock/investment is only as good as their product.

After a while they will get hustled. They already have been.

Histogen already have a track record of getting products onto the market. One has to look at their regenica skincare range being released to see that.

I work for a start up, IT related. Every start up I know has one thing in common - the goal in the end is to release a product, not to **** around like you make it sound like.

We should be grateful that Histogen is determining the safety and effective dose range. I don't think it will be THAT expensive for them to produce on a mass scale, but I expect it to be overpriced when it finally hits the market.

WE should be grateful that so many companies are working on this. Full Stop.

If we were alive 20 years ago, there would be nothing of great significance going on except for fin.

This is why Iron_man and 2020 shock me. I guess they are both bitter high norwoods. Who are pissed that this treatment wont work on them.

[yeahyeahyeah]

They have known for a long time that they have a solution that works.

Exactly. Histogen already have a track record of getting products onto the market. One has to look at their regenica skincare range being released to see that.

2020 is a damn fool.

Im sure the scientists at histogen and all those other bio companies will be pissed if they read that considering they are in the game to innovate.

Not only have you downplayed their efforts (which is ironic considering you are nothing more than an arm chair critic), you are doubting their intellect with your arrogant statements. The lead scientist at Histogen is a Cambridge graduate.

Heck - if this was Histogens intent, when they were being sued by Skinmedica, why did all the scientists working on it stay on? They could have left and work elseware if they were true mercenaries. I feel they believe in what the are doing.

They have known for a long time that they have a solution that works. Believe it or not there are people that have used similar formulations in the past with great success. It isn't cheap to source these ingredients on a small scale though. We should be grateful that Histogen is determining the safety and effective dose range. I don't think it will be THAT expensive for them to produce on a mass scale, but I expect it to be overpriced when it finally hits the market.

nothing's changed it's just the business-types got better at creating hype and making money doing as little as possible.
Gene therapy is not coming in your lifetime nor would you really need it. The actual cure for MPB is to remove all androgen receptors from your scalp and the exact same thing has already been done in some experiments with people with prostate issues. They just don't get it...

Histogen have already released their regenica line, so there is no doubt they will relase this onto the market. They are currently trying to build a portfolio of products.

[yeahyeahyeah]

Any news if Spencer will have an interview with either Gail or Ziering? I also see that the ReGenica line of skincare products cost between $150 to $175. I wonder what that means for HSC since both products contains fibroblasts.

I remember in their first PDF, when they were looking for investors, histogen projected a price less than 5000, think it was 1000

I'm fairly certain they didn't come out with finasteride to help hair loss. They thought it might have an affect, but it was secondary to the reason they came out with it in the first place.

The power it had was likely the unexpected part.

That's exactly right!

In the 80's, the scientific community had so many diseases to deal with that AGA was really not on their priority list.

I mean if you flip through the pharmacopoeia books from 1970s and early 80s, they were hundreds of times smaller, with far less drugs listed in them. From the pharmaceutical industry's point of view, there was simply far bigger fish to fry. There were still no real treatments available for major diseases like: Diabetes, Hypertension, High cholesterol, Angina, Heart attacks, Stroke, and Cancer!

Luckily today, a lot of these major medical burdens have been resolved or at least kept under control which has shifted the pharma companies attention towards untapped markets that were not explored in the past like hair loss.

To make things even better, we are lucky enough to live in an era where the "Human genome project" is completed, the medical world is being flooded with state of the art "biological" therapies, and the regenerative medicine is booming!

Now, these TWO important factors happening coincidentally at the same time has created a perfect environment for developing a permanent solution for hair loss. One that would involve a biological approach

These are exciting times indeed. Just flipping through some TED talks would simply make you gawk at the things in the pipeline and are coming out in just a few years.

Being involved in trials myself and a great admirer of science in general, I can promise you all this much. Things are looking incredibly bright for every human being walking this earth right now. So there's no reason to feel down or upset about a receded hairline or a thinning crown. The solutions are closer than you think and will be here b4 you know it. Just hang in there and enjoy everyday like its your last. Otherwise whats the point of living? right?

Peace out to all my balding brothers and sisters. Love you all

The point is, the role of 5AR in both BPH and MPB was known before the first 5AR inhibitor was developed. So it wasn't altogether unexpected when fin had an effect on hair loss. However, it was developed for prostate first.

Kind of like how the new generation of antiandrogens all seem to be targeted at acne first. It's incredible but pharma companies really don't seem to be interested in MPB treatments.
