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!

This article kind of explains what Fgf9 is and its function.

Huh, so Follica isn't dead afterall?

Good.

But as always, most likely nothing will come from it (at least not in the next 10 years)

buy fgf9, needles, syringes, alcohol pads and a dermaroller, to create the wounds. no need to wait 10 years, hahahaha.

obviously just talking theory here, wouldn't a dermaroller be good enough? then simply applying the fgf9 stimulating drug on top of the wound?

this stuff sounds solid in theory, see if it actually works, any volunteers?

also any chemists, pharmacists, dr's etc. that know the potential danger of injecting this stuff?

Lol, that's actually a good idea

But where the hell can we buy fgf9?

The only problem is that everything is tested in rats for some reason never reaches the final stage, humans.

Anyway, fingers crossed.

Its funny you mention that. Cotrsarelis actually wanted to find out why mice would form new hairs after wounding and why humans would not, and thats how he discovered Fgf9.

According to the article mice naturally have elevated levels of Fgf9 in their skin, which explains why they regenerate new hairs after wounding.

Humans on the other hand have significantly less Fgf9 in our skin, and explains why we have trouble forming new hairs after wounding.

So basically we need to externally add Fgf9 during the wounding process to create new hairs.

the article mentions that they have told the author that human trials have already been made....

[TravisB]

It's another study that was done on MICE

there is no evidence that it will even work on humans

It's not a big deal to grow hair on mice. It looks like anyone can do it these days because everything you put on mice regrows their hair.

It's similar thing as with all this PGD2 crap
