    Someone should pay Cotsarelis a visit with a swift kick in the ass and tell him to hurry the ****** up.

    Very exciting stuff. It's taking time but with each new piece of information, no matter how slight, it's another step in the right direction...

    This is a very exciting! This solves the mystery of the WNT induced hair regeneration after wounding they announced in 2007

    Of course, the fact that the next step is using "a specific, well-known and studied drug" makes it all the more exciting; should it prove successful then, hopefully, it would mean that it could potentially be a lot sooner in becoming a commercial product due to not having to undergo trials specific to the drug.

    Of course, that's a far off and not yet guaranteed possibility but fingers crossed...

    Alright so i should just cut off a layer of skin, inject this stuff and voila my hair is back!

    no but really this sounds promising, and any good news no matter how far the product may be away is still great.

    They are figuring it out, it's taking far, far too long, but people are putting in work to get this solved.

    What I can hope is they discover something that we can actually get our hands on, rather than some kind of injection or weird protein we cant touch.

    I guess Follica's going to rewind the tape back to 2008 and start over.

    Nice to see that they are definitively saying they can create "new" hair follicles. Which is a much better starting point than where they began with the lithium wounding approach. Let's hope that they have good success with a commercially available compound!

    The do it yourself'ers need to get cracking on Fgf9 drugs!

    Is this ever going to come to market though?

    I think when it does all of us will be slick

    What has FGf9 in it? where do you get this?

    isn't it also an issue that you'd have to damage that area of the skin to cause new follicles? just taking FGF9 may not doing anything!
