Cotsarelis/Garza Genetic analysis

[HairlossAt15]

I don't think traditional growth promoters will cut it. Now that we have a better understanding, we need to focus on addressing the lack of progenitor cells. How to do it? Chemically? Culture cells in vitro?

Cotsarelis' plan:

GPR44 blockers + supplementary pro-growth genes (eg PGE2)
If that doesn't work I believe there is already a way to "kick-start" the stem cells. Once the pdg2 effects are removed you would think they would function as normal again, but this is all TBC of course.

Hey guys.

I wondered if one of us know how to contact dr. Cotsarelis, or his colleagues?
Maybe if we can get a hold and this guy ans his colleagus, we could get more info.

Greetings

we're getting closer to figuring this out I can tell!

we may not have a cure in our hands in the near future but its comforting knowing that the understanding of it is getting much, much better!
