Replicel

[gmonasco]

I was thinking, if Replicel's results are less than they hoped for or expected, is there really anything they could do to improve things? Since they're replicating and injecting dermal sheath cup cells, what else could they do to potentially increase the efficacy beyond upping the dosage?

I asked the same question like a month ago but nobody seemed to care. I've been thinking about the same thing. What can they do?

Twitter; Replicel remains on track to release the initial TS001-2009 clinical trial results in late April.

...i'm trying not to count the days, hours and minutes ...honest!

and trying not to be overly and stupidily optimistic ...honest!!

We all know hair, losing hair, baldness, diffuse thinning, norwooding, follicles, all things hair etc etc etc is a mine field of info, but can i ask, (if i'm right) if Replicel are rejuvanating exsisting follicles then where are hair grafts placed in HT's going, are they destroying the exsisting hair follicles that already exsist (but are dormant) and that Replicel or any other new cure may need?

This is something I also wonder about. I guess that it will, somehow, damage it a bit, but how much is hard to say. I have thought about taking a small treatment at the Hasci clinic (Gho), and then wait for some kind of cure. I dont want to walk around for 3-4 more years when I can do something about it now. I`m now turning 29, so I do want to have kinda good hair until my mid 30s. Though, how much does a hair transplant hurt the dormant follicles. The people at the Hasci clinic, or at least the women I talked to (Marleen), told me that it shouldnt be a problem taking a transplant now and then use the Replicel treatment, if it becomes availible and a success. Why should it ruin the follicles that are dormant? I know it`s not the best way to draw a picture, but if you have a plant and during the winter it goes dormant (until the summer), so you plant another plant just next to it, I guess both if them will grow back if they recieve the same nutrient? Maybe it`s like this with hair as well. One can always draw parallells between everything, so why not?

Maybe I`m just trying to convince myself that it will be ok to go through with a transplant as well as the Replicel/Aderans/Histogen (whoever comes first and are a good solution). Has anyone talked to any of the companies/ht doctors?

i like the plant story Tacola, i was about to reply using a plant as an example and you beat me to it, so on the same note; what if you have the plant bulb waiting in the ground during Winter ready for Summer, but you go ahead and plant another on top (or very close to) disregarding the bulb, damage can be made to the bulb easily right?, perhaps making the bulb die in the process, no amount of flower improver (Replicel) can bring that bulb back to life!

I'm sure there's more science involved but for us guys needing a Dummies guide, we need simple examples.

If you want to take the plant analogy literally, the bulb that had another bulb planted on top of it will still generally find an alternate route to the surface and continue to grow. I don't know how that analogy would apply to hair follicles, though.

wow... how many months does it take to put out a three paragraph press release? shouldn't take that long if you have good results....would take that long if you needed to word shitty results carefully

You are an idiot. They have just got the results unblinded and are analyzing them now. These are scientists here that will be analyzing things we won't even be thinking about.

Like someone mentioned somewhere, I would think that it would find a new way, but I dont know when it comes to follicles. I do find it kinda hard to believe that the follicle that is dormat would be hurt with a transplanted on top, and even a bit harder to believe that the follicles around would be hurt. But...maybe I`m just trying to covince myself that it will be ok if I do a transplant now and then wait for the Replicel, or any other solution comes to market within the next years...
