those numbers you're giving us are only from TWO subjects. If you want the averages:

The improvements caused by HSC treatment were significantly greater than those observed in placebo-treated sites for hair shaft thickness (6.3%±2.5% vs. -0.63%±2.1%; F=0.046),
thickness density (12.8%±4.5% vs. -0.2% ± 2.9%; P=0.028),
and terminal hair density (20.6±4.9% vs. 4.4±4.9%; P=0.029).
Although a similar trend was seen at 22 weeks, significance was lost as there was no further growth improvement in the subjects. However, at one year, we observed significant improvements in hair count (16.0±6.6% vs. 3.65±3.7%)
and substantial increases in thickness density (17.6±8.39% vs. 0.67±4.3%),
and terminal hair density (29.5±14.8 vs. 2.4±6.8%)
But if you look at the figure referenced in that note, it shows photos displaying a hair count going from a baseline of 214.5 hairs to 324.5 hairs after one year, which is only a 51.2% increase.

With growth rates like this, I and many other are probably thinking, sod the healthy and safety trials. Pump industrial quantities of that sweet sweet HSC into my scalp please :D
.......only kidding, health and safety first guys!!

Just reading through the Histogen article and it states, 'HSC's effect on hair growth was concentrated within 1-2mm of the site of injection'.
I read somewhere that it spread out once injected...otherwise you would need hundreds of injections. ouch!

Why is the haircount increasing in the placebo group?
Even when you look at the average of all subjects it is increasing after one year.
