Does anyone else here have trouble looking at themselves in the mirror when getting their hair cut?
I wish I had a hair line that was 2mm above my eyebrows:(

i guess we can only hope. We will know more when they do further trials.

This study conducted earlier this year shows that DP cells (NOT DSC CELLS) when transplanted through cell therapy work very well with heightened wnt signalling through GSK-3β inhibition, I wonder if Intercytex did it this way?....
The real treatment will come as a combination of the best possibilities:

Abstract:
It is well known that dermal papilla cells (DPCs) play crucial roles in hair follicle induction. In this study, we examined whether Wnt/β-catenin activation results in maintenance of the hair-inducing ability of human DPCs. Expression of DPC marker genes was maintained under Wnt/β-catenin signalling stimulation by GSK-3β inhibition. Furthermore, human DPCs showed constant hair induction when transplanted with murine epidermal cell fraction. Alu-positive human DPCs were essentially detected adjacent to the reconstructing epidermal structure positive for P-cadherin immunoreactivity. The transplanted human DPCs were abundant in the surrounding dermal sheath portion of the fully regenerated hair follicles. These results support the importance of Wnt/β-catenin signalling in hair follicle induction. This study may provide valuable information to establish a culture method of human DPCs for cell-based therapy.

Also good as that, is having some information about 12 months results. Last patient completed his 6 months follow up on Jan 12, so we´ve reached 12month mark for all patients.
Already e-mailed them asking if they´re going to release some of this results and when.

Every one of us here on this forum, every single one of us!!
Just got to remember you're not the only one, does that even help? I'm not even sure of that.
So, back to thread, back to Replicel...!

It is comforting to know that the person cutting my hair is also NW6.
:(
This time next year I will be full blown NW6 at the moment I am NW 5.
