Thanks for the update Artista. I'm glad things are progressing but I will not consider pilofocus unless it can offer good donor regrowth.

Just reviving this in the interim period before we get more news about Dr. Wesley's trial.
Artista, you've stated that there is anecdotal evidence of donor hair regrowth. I was wondering if there is any evidence of growth in recipient area at the same time.
Several doctors have been able to get hair to regrow in the donor, but those hairs then don't seem to grow in the recipient area. Does Dr. Wesley have a mechanism to test this? I was sort of hoping that the survival studies he did on some patient (that showed recipient growth as strong as FUT) were also done to the patients who exhibited some degree of donor regrowth.
If you can't speak to this, or if any of this is confidential, don't worry about it. Just trying to create idle conversation.

Check out these pics from Dr. Cole's 12 graft test using ACELL:

That might give some insight as to how ACELL may work with Pilofocus... let's hope it does.

Hellouser,
Correct me if I'm wrong, I really don't see any regrowth at all in Dr. Cole's experiment. I very clearly see the hairless gaps where he extracted follicles. He also provides no pictures of the hairs after they've been transplanted in the recipient area to see if they grow.
This is why people, myself included, get so skeptical of regeneration claims. I hope Wesley's experience is different.

Agreed.
We made a pretty solid push for a 50 graft test with HASCI's dubious claims of regeneration, we should make a similar push for Dr. Cole to show what ACELL can do for regeneration. I'm sure it'll be significantly easier to find someone in or near Georgia, USA.

I didn't bring up Regeneration once with Cole on my HT. I don't recall him mentioning it. If it regenerates then great, if not OK. IMO it's next to impossible to track if a hair regenerates unless you do an inch by inch square at the donor AND recipient area. What if the follicle is in the resting stage?

Just do a very small cluster of follicles, like 5-10 follicles and implant those into a recipient area and mark BOTH with a small tattoo dot. 5-10 are easy to track.
