"These hair follicles are too small, engineered follicles will become a reality but it needs more efforts. It is hard to predict clinical trial results."
that's what Dr. Xu says about the recent breakthrough probably being mouse follicles still and not human, and about replicel's trials. Basically no one really knows a whole lot except that someday we will be able to make hair follicles. replicel clearly isn't snake oil ,but i think it could very easily suffer the same fate as aderans. The fact that shiseido backed them means nothing to me, shiseido is a huge corporation that does all kinds of random research, they have millions to throw at a lot of things, and it doesn't necessarily say anything about replicel's effectiveness. the saw the same things we have seen from them, there is no insider info, it is just a bet on something that could work. if you research the R and D dept, they are into all kinds of stuff, including brain research etc. I think it's safe to say that DSC cells have some kind of positive impact, but i don't think anyone knows what they will do long term, they are still not replacing androgen sensitive DP cells or othe skin cells that might play a role in balding. I would guess that this might be similar to propecia, where it helps maintain and regrow a little, but long term might eventually lose its efficacy.

Perhaps but that's an awful lot of money for something random. They seem to be quite aggressive with it.

RepliCel submitted their Clinical Trial Application (CTA) for RCS-01, and I would assume clearance will be granted in about a month. Good news, is that RCT-01 and RCS-01 are moving forward, next up is RCH-01.
