It is done? They are looking for candidates... ;)

This is definitely a step forward however, I'm not sure if dermal papilla cells alone transplanted into human tissue will connect with blood vessels, arrector pilli muscle, dermal sheath cup cells and the rest of the tissue in hair follicle. Sure it works in mice but Replicel had over 50% success rate of transplanting dermal sheath cup cells into mice. Not so much on human subjects. Also how good are these dermal papilla cells.

Next they are looking for partnerships meaning they have to seek funding to start this.

I'm not dissing on this just saying that they are at a stage before clinical trials while we could have Histogen and Replicel starting phase 2 this year.

However I welcome the addition. Things are heating up finally. I expect Dr. Lausters team to figure out culturing cells in the next few years as well.

we should crowdfund forthem: https://experiment.com/

"Our next step is to transplant human dermal papilla cells derived from human pluripotent stem cells back into human subjects," said Terskikh. "We are currently seeking partnerships to implement this final step."

Really happy with the statements. Lets hope iPSCs turn out to be a reliable source of DP cells
