    Not to sure about that. Its confirmed that the stem cells are there, but noone has revived dormant follicles yet.

    I dont know enough about the biology of it, but I remember seeing pictures of follicles at different stages, including the dormant phase. All the necessary components were there, but it just looked shriveled up.

    If some scientists claim that all thats needed is the signal to tell the stem cells to get working, then here's hoping HSC can delivery that! Assuming its wnt signals and not something else.

    It takes a very long time for a follicle to become dormant. From terminal, to thin, to velus, peach fuzz, and then it continues but the hair doesnt come through the skin. <<<<< If HSC can wake all those up then I'm saved. For the people who have been shiney bald for 5 years or more....who knows. It would be pretty stupid to only be testing it out on thinning patients, so I'm sure histogen will have 'some' news soon enough. They still doing a 3 month update?

    Well, I need to read the paper again because I was not aware that each treatment area received 4 injections. Lets all stay positive. At least we have companies working on this. I suppose that is all we can ask for.

    That paper references stimulating the growth of miniaturizing and resting hairs, but not creating new hairs.

    Biggest take-home message for me was:

    "Phase I/II shows 46.5% greater increase in total hair count as compared to the Pilot HSC clinical trial at 12 weeks."

    Great news!

    Again, note that "increased hair growth" is not the same thing as "created new hairs." What's being referenced in the article is the stimulation of miniaturized and resting hairs, not the creation of new hair follicles. It helps hair you already have, but may not do anything to make up for lost hair.

    But would creating new hair follicles be necessary if the issue is just genetic alopecia? Couldn't we just induce the existing follicles to grow hair?
