Lets wait till after the interview with what david hall says. Remember he is the expert not us ignorant hair loss people. It is depressing results but maybe he can explain why there was such little regrowth and what they have to do to improve them.

Ha ha ha. "he's the expert not us ignorant hair loss people" !! Keep living in your fantasy world. Wake up and smell the coffee. Doesn't matter how you cut it, Replicel is looking a lot like a FAILURE.
Amazing how some people are so scared of facing the (bitter) truth that they think by denying it they're going to make it go away so they can continue to live in their fantasy. Living in denial and attacking others WHO ARE ONLY BEING REALISTIC and who see things as they are WON'T change anything, buddy.

What do you think Hall is going to tell us? That it was just a bad joke and that Replicel has the magical cure now?


People, just start saving up for an HT with Gho. Looks like he's the only half ass decent solution we have....and we'll have for the next 20 years at least.

The only thing i want to read about from now on is a company that can wake the stem cells, everything else is rubbish, it will cost way too much for some homer simpson hair, screw that.

Realism and ignorance and two very different things. Demonstrating the latter doesn't produce the former.

very poetic gmonasco, but Realism is accepting that in the best case scenario Replicel can only regrow 12% of you're hair and that's not good enough to even come to market. Facts are the facts and you are just calling people ignorant because they don't share your level of optimism in regards to how this fail of a trial will be turned into a useful end product....let it go now, you should move on.

Yes, the Phase I/II efficacy results were prima facie disappointing.

However, one thing overlooked here is that the act of cultivating and injecting dermal cup sheath cells back into the doner is now effectively proven to positively influence human hair growth.

Despite the low numbers, this in and of itself amounts to a breakthrough.

Also, much of the focus has been on the dosage aspect of the Phase I/II trial, and the fact that a 100x dose should produce 'more' results.

Two points about this -- putting on 10x the amount of sunscreen on a single spot does not necessarily provide 10x the sun protection, but sunscreen continuously applied over a large area will provide up to the rated protection. Perhaps Replicel's therapy will work much the same way, where it is proper distribution of the DCS cells and not concentration of those cells that will yield the best results.

Also, while dosage is important, I think the real opportunity for improved results will come from refinement of the cell cultivation and multiplication process itself. Note that three test subjects were disqualified simply because their respective personal therapies were subject to slightly higher temperatures during shipment. This demonstrates how sensitive this aspect of the process really is.

We know from other research that multiple generations of cultivated cells can quickly lose their ability to perform their original task. What if, under the current method, only 1 in 1000 DSC cells maintains the ability to wake a folicle or induce a new one? What if that could be refined to 1 in 100? Or 1 in 10? Harvesting, cultivation, multiplication, shipping, application, etc. can all play a role in this -- and this IMO is were greater gains in actual hair growth might be found.

Just some thoughts to add to the fray.

Utter bs next. I hear it's a fancy new organic topical about to start trials. Smells a bit though.
