    Just to give you guys a perspective of when this might get to market(given that they actually produced a terminal hair by the end of 2014), milwakee made the discovery that started replicel in (2003) 11 years later and replicel still did not launch and with a release date of 2017 japan and probably 2019 - 2020 USA (17 years). histogen and the wnts; it is known that wnts can induce hair growth since 1999 (oldest study I found that relates hair and wnt: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10049570). 16 years later and nothing came out till now. when did we first hear about lauster and 3d spheroids(2010 I am not sure) you guys do the math now. they seem to have what you might call a cure. rememebr that they still need to produce a temrinal hair, a technology to streamline the production of the hair follicle to be implanted, to start a company (tissUSE might be that company) and finally to find investors. do the math guys we will not have this one before 10 yearsand this is being optimistic about it. I am personally wanting replicel to be the cure(given that DSC can induce hair follicle formation after injection). I want this to happen but I don't know it always sucked for men with MPB. a combination of replicel and histogen might be a groundbreaking treatment. you have all the element to induce hair follicle formation(GF+DSC) or maybe cancer . what do you think guys?

    ^ I agree, treatments like these are at least a decade away, but the endgame nonetheless. Histogen and especially Replicel should at least help us maintain our hair for years, and I still think think they will be more effective than what we have seen. There's still a whole lot that goes on that we don't know about in my opinion. Hopefully they will both be released in Asia at an affordable price within the next couple of years

    I don't know why they're not adding fat grafting to their protocols. It seems like it might solve the problem. Why is nobody trying this?

    I recall watching a video with Dr. Cole mentioning taking less tissue with the graft. This resulted in less ridging; I think that was the term used. If the theory is that the supporting tissue including the fat layer is what makes hair transplants work, then wouldn't taking less tissue be risky? Not saying fat grafting shouldn't be tried, but that seem contradictory.

    It is actually funny, these last two years my biggest sheds coincided with weight loss. Do I need to be gaining more weight to save my hair?

    Your own words explain it macbeth. Dr. Cole did not say he would use NO tissue, he said he would use less tissue. If Lauster's team using follicles without doing fat grafting then they will be using follicles with NO tissue. Mistake! Bzzzttt!!! And for all we know Cole would get better results if he used more tissue. In other words, maybe his results are damaged a tad because he reduces tissue a little. And if the results aren't damaged a tad maybe it's because he adds growth factors or other growth stimulants to his transplant technique that makes up for the lost tissue.

    Yeah I think this is the unfortunate reality. I think if a technique like lauster's came out in 15 ears it would still be amazing, i would guess probably more like 20 yrs for this to all pan out. that's an actual cure though, and whether i care enough at that point is another story, but still good for the next generation.

    Vis a vis cole, I still am not sure how much the surrounding tissue matters. at one point Dr. Xu mentioned to me that the surrounding environment is not crucial. Dr. Gardner seemed to think otherwise. Dr. Cole seemed to be basically stripping the follicle of almost all surrounding tissue, and its possible that the DP and DSC cells send signals to create new fat cells and epithelial cells, so who the hell knows. I'm not even sure the researchers have a unified idea of what is necessary for new follicle growth or healthy hair. My guess is that the hair cells themselves are the most important control center for what happens in the scalp, and that maybe fat cells etc play a smaller part. In any case, once someone gets a terminal hair to grow in scalp then keeping it healthy should be a smaller issue. Basic Epithelial and fat cells can be made from scratch. It seems as if a few teams are trying to induce growth with a variety of cell types, so at some point they will find out what needs to be there and what doesn't. not much we can do to figure it out except for giving these guys a lot of money if you have it, because funding is definitely a hurdle in every research field.

    Ten years ago hair transplants sucked and that has evolved a lot if we can get something better than finasteride that'd pretty much be a cure. Not every step of clinical trials is on the front page of google look at the cure for aa. That seemed to be an overnight success. I think it will come out suddenly and with a hell of a bang.

    So of course this means that Yale University's evidence that fat cells produce the signals the follicular growth and nothing other than these signals from fat cells are required to grow hair is irrelevant to you.

    Thank God we have you here! We don't need to worry about the things the researchers prove to us because we've got sudsurfin.

    If it's all the same with you I'm going with Dr. Gardner and Yale University instead of something that you interpreted the meaning of by Xu, however long ago. Some casual statement by Xu, perhaps said before the study by Yale was produced, means nothing compared to an actual study and I don't really trust your interpretation of what Xu said to you given your established incredulity. For all we know Xu said that to you before the Yale study and now Xu is fully on board with the idea that fat tissue is required to prompt follicular growth.

    All I said is the researchers don't seem to have a consensus about which cells are necessary. It is all one big chain and all cells give specific signals. You might need only healthy dsc cells or only healthy DP cells or maybe you need everything. Sometimes by fixing one link in a chain you keep the whole thing from falling apart. Given the focus on the hair cells that these teams have exhibited, I doubt fat cells are all that is needed. Something also tells me that fat cells in different areas in the scalp are all the same, but that balding DP and other hair cells reduce the number of fat cells in balding areas. People like dr. Cole transplant with a negligible amount if fatty layer, but the non balding follicles probably signal the fat later to stay intact in that area. That is simply my guess based on what the researchers have said. Could be wrong, I don't know enough. These teams are all trying induction with different combos of cells.

    Either way You are like the most annoying broken record ever man, you latch onto an idea because if some flawed obsessed pseudo logic and then hammer at it forever. No one on this forum is going to solve hair loss, so why don't you go out and get a life and work on your obsessive compulsiveness instead of your hair. Even if you were intelligent, which you aren't, you do not have enough knowledge of this science to fix hair loss or know how something works when the top researchers in the field aren't sure themselves.

    Completely nailed it. Once JarJarbinx aka nameless sets his eyes on something it's impossible for any rational discussion to occur, examples being his previous obsessions over Nigam then Pilox and now AAPE treatments. Pushing his agenda down the throats of other forum members, flooding threads with his numerous consecutive posts, and dismissing any form of valid argument as a sign of weakness of being a man is his trademark.
