Scientists Regrow Tissue Killed During Heart Attack

[Artista]

Hello all, this article is in todays medical news-regenerative science is advancing at a PROGRESSIVE rate and
although this isnt about hair regeneration-its all RELATIVE.

“Scientists Regrow Tissue Killed During Heart Attack”
‘U.S. scientists have done what was once considered science fiction – regrown heart muscle to replace tissue that was killed off in a heart attack. It’s the latest advance in the field of regenerative medicine…If the stem cell therapy proves effective, he says, the treatment could be available to heart attack patients in about four years.’

Well, in the light of the latest findings that folicles never die - not even with completely bald people, we all in that sense have the potential to undergo regeneration.. but the problem of how to regenerate is not found. I'd like to see some new studies, if any exist, regarding not embrionic but stem cells extracted from hair loss patients themselves.. and what the safety rates are.. I also worry as stem cells are potentially related to cancer development.

Hey there Stressed'

Im sure you are well aware of Replicel's research. They will be providing their latest findings in April of this year.

[StressedToTheBald]

I know, looking forward to hear the results, we can only hope for the best. But Replicel will make sense only if it turns out to be proven one time & safe treatment.. anything else simply wouldn't make much sense, especially with now hearing that if its proven to work, the estimated treatment price would be around 10,000$.

10K is only speculative

No one knows what a treatment cost will be at this point.

[StressedToTheBald]

Well, one guy at Replicel thread claims that Replicel CEO mentioned that if the treatment works out, the predicted price could be around 10,000$..

[Artista]

Not even that can be verified

Stressed'
please keep in mind that your getting that information from some
"...guy at a Replicel thread.."
Dont stress yourself out even more by speculation based upon a person's claim at a thread.
It will all be OK

[StressedToTheBald]

I am indeed stressing myself too much.. and stress ain't good for hair.

[Follicle Death Row]

I think $5000 is a far price for everyone. They'll make good money and it will be reasonably affordable to the masses. I think this price makes sense because they want to cast their net far and wide and I think it would be more profitable at $5000 than $10000 due to the numbers that will go for it but I could be way off.

Only if its one time & permanent solution.
Otherwise even 5k is way too much.

I understand completely Stressed'

We are all suffering from it my friend. What you need to do is to wrap your mind around the knowledge that there are serious tests going on and not by just one company. If this were 1982, a time where med/science didn't really have anything to work with, this talk would not be going on and we wouldn't have a 'support system' that is available to us now . Meaning, you couldn't SERIOUSLY discuss your hair loss with anyone.
Being that this is 2012, try to lessen the stress in your life by acknowledging that there certainly IS something(s) on the horizon. One day ,maybe sooner than you think,a decent treatment will be offered.
FDR'- I agree with you ,,5k wouldnt be a bad price tag IF that indeed were the cost.

[StressedToTheBald]

What worries me if its gonna happen at all and when.. if it comes too late, then it would feel too little too late, I need hair while I'm still young age. What worries me - there was probably the exact same talk on forums 5 or 10 years ago, about the new treatments beeing developed and predicted to be just around the corner.. yet, here we are, its 2012. and still the talk is very much the same as well as the promises.

I wish I had Your hope and positive attitude though. Its better to be positive than beeing stressed about it as I am.

Take control of your status

Keep in mind that the advancements made since 10 years ago have been HUGE. For the time being, try to refocus your outlook on life. Treatment is coming your way. Prepare for it.
You stated that you are still young. Be happy that you are not in your later years (like some of us)
Keep yourself healthy ,exercise,,eat right. If you have a career or still elevating your education -focus on that for the NOW. Depression is like having a parasite living inside of you. Dont feed it.

[StressedToTheBald]

Well, I'm not that young.. I entered my 30s. I wish I was wiser and have done something 10 or even 15 years ago.. I started balding very young.

I do everything right.. eat right, take care.. and then I see people who eat junk diets, barely drink water and pay no attention to hair whatsoever and still have the most brilliant full set of hair in the world.. Now thats a proper motivation killer.. And worst of it all is the fact that our baldness is in the genes, therefore however much we push, its like trying to change destiny.

Even if it's US$5,000 to begin with (or equivalent in other currencies) it's bound to come down in price over time just as laser eye surgery (for example) has.
