    Here is Follica's pipeline:

    http://www.puretechventures.com/pipeline.php

    Its funded by PureTech Ventures, hence the not so obvious website.

    If this is about Cotsarelis latest publication, its definitely not going to hit the market tomorrow. Basically they constructed a dermal epidermal composite containing neonatal foreskin keratinocytes and Human dermal papillae cells, transplanted it unto naked mice and after 8 weeks they noted hair follicle growth.

    No not as far as I can make out. This is a wounding method combined with a known substance that expresses a certain substance in newly healing skin. This promotes the formation of new hair. Follica appear to have IP on the wounding device only? Suggesting the biological process is quite simple.

    I hope you are right. Try to get hold a copy of this:

    This article is basically just repeating everything we already know and giving us a vague timeline, "soon."

    It sounds like the writer just read a few hair loss article and regurgitated this rubbish because they had nothing to write.

    That's what I'm trying to understand: has he spoken to someone at Follica more recently since June's publication, or is he just paraphrasing the June release to drive more traffic to the website?

    I'm still sticking to my theory that dermabrasion + injections of FGF-9 will give similar results. Follica and Cotsarelis must be shaking in their boots!
    That is stupid !
