not much/no, maybe a better treatment.

[paulneedshair]

what about replicel and histogen and cotsarellis?

Even if those treatments do pan out it wont be a just few years.

what about replicel and histogen and cotsarellis?

Replicel starting Phase II trials within a couple months in Japan and Germany, with a potential release in Japan either after completion (39 months I believe) or during as per Japans's new stem cell legislation.

Histogen starting final Phase II trials next year for a release in Asia once complete.

Cotsarelis is on vacation, not doing much.

As far as I know in the actual pipeline is below. I am sure there are some missing, and new ones are being found. Maybe by 2020 we will have more treatments, but to-date no proven cure in sight. The reality is starting to seem we will all grow old bald/balding.

Replicel - Phase II data 2016.
Histogen - Begin Phase II in Asia 2015(?).
SM04554 - Phase II end by September, 2015.
DA-4001C - Phase II preparations, unknown start and unknown product.
Piloscopy - Trials by the end of the year, or delayed more.
CB-03-01 - Phase II completed by November, 2015.
Bimatoprost - Phase II completed by Janruary, 2015.
Taiwan University Hospital - Phase ? completed by December 2016.

Follica has gone into telogen and is lying dormant, maybe in the future they will get investment and it will induce anagen.


Haha I'm so punny.

Puretech just raised $55 million. If Follica doesn't have the money it probably was never going to succeed.

What can we expect over the next few years? will we get a cure?

To be honest I've been checking boards like this for nearly a decade & we really can't expect anything.

Every year threads come out saying 'What can we expect' & every year there are a few pipeline treatments that look promising [But never eventuate] - Through time and experience though you realise that you can't bank on anything.

Of course we're moving forward, but in the greater scheme of things 100 years is a blink of the eye in history so we may not see anything in our lifetimes.

I hope we're the lucky generation; but I think it's healthiest to look at it with the mindset that we won't be.
