if you see the facebook page i asked them where they injected the cells :), they injected them in the front temporal area....aka...the temples.;)

So if they show good results in april i don't want to sound optimistic but i think it will mean we can be cured because we all how hard it is to grow hair on the temples dont we?:D

im very excited again :o but afraid at the same time

it doesn't matter WHERE they inject those cells... if it can regrow hair on your vertex, I'm sure it can grow hair ANYWHERE. Why would it matter?

Anyways, if it regrows ~10% of hair and makes it DHT resistant then that's it - baldness is cured. Results should be compoundable, why wouldn't it?

We will know the future of hair loss by next month :)

yes man you may be right. But there is an old school theory of baldness being irreversible after some years due to the follicles being overwhelmingly exposed to DHT for so long and so aggressively that nothing can bring them back, this would be the temples. i hope that theory is wrong though and is what a lot of specialists agree on. i've seen this being discussed in the baldtruth show too i think.

So yeah if it grows a decent amount in the temples, it can grow hair anywhere and baldness is cured.:cool:

Because current treatments (e.g., Minoxidil, Finasteride) generally work for central (vertex) hair loss, but poorly (or not at all) in other areas. Thus the mechanism behind hair loss may be different on different parts of the scalp.

I don't think so.
Even if the follicles do "die", their stem cells remain in place no matter what. Remember this discovery:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40911256...ed-stem-cells/

^ basically you can reactivate those stem cells and make them grow hair once again. That's what Histogen has tried to do and from their Phase 1 results you can tell that they've been successful.

With Replicel, they don't even care about remaining stem cells or anything. With mice they were able to grow hair virtually ANYWHERE where they made an injection - vertex, temples, ears, whatever. If they can do the same with humans then baldness will be cured :D

Guys, I just checked replicel's facebook page and they said late april as the release dates for their results.

Also I checked the video on youtube of the baldtruth episode 25 and spencer said you guys should let him know if you want the interview before the results.

He will also do it after the results.

So it's up to you guys...I for one would like the interview I have some friends who have spare change n are interested in the stock and would like more info.

Just post if you want the interview before or not. There's nothing to lose, since replicel will also give an interview right after the results.

You could also post your questions I guess.

Let spencer know what you think.

:)

id be down for the interview

I'm down for an interview as well, any news is good news. So excited about Replicel, like it's been said before, this treatment should be compoundable. Regardless, i'm hoping for a 50% or more (: grrrr, why can't it be early April, why always late for everything :P

This was mentioned in another thread - but the only problem with brand new folliciles is - your hair pattern may become totally random and not the same as it once was. Two hairs right next to each other might be angled against each other heh.

This is probably not a terrible thing though, just getting hair back would be sufficient. But considering the pain staking process of a FUE process to put the hair back in so it flows nicely...
