    The problem lies in the 6th step. They are anticipating that this cells will migrate to the dormant ones. And even if they do, there are no growth factors like fibroblasts to kickstart basically to induce this cells to start growing the new hair. Cells on their own, without us knowing which gen can induce their development into a hair follicle, won't start producing new hair. Well at least not in any significant amount.

    Yeah sorry I wrote in a hurry. My point was, I thought Replicel representatives felt like they had to say something after this article.

    Well I used to be quite positive about the Replicel method.
    Now I wonder about 6th step myself. And my big question remains the same:
    ->How is something injected in the scalp, apparently in a random spot, supposed to know where to go? How is it supposed to reach exactly certain tissues?<-
    And, even more:
    How is the same compound supposed to be able to both stimulate old follicles as well as instigate the creation of new ones? (folliculogenesis?)
    Maybe I'm just talking of stuff I don't know anything about. Some people spend years just to be able to use the right scientific terminology. I did not, and still I try to elaborate on matters which defied research for decades.

    This Follica patent describes a similar process of stimulating and creating new follicles. Interesting.

    This quote is interesting -

    "But RepliCel’s plan isn’t to bring its cell cloning all the way to market, Hall says. Rather, it wants to prove the effectiveness of the technology in the hopes it will be purchased by another company."
