Replicel news and answers

[PoppinSmoke]

Thank you for the interview sdsurfin. This gave me a small slimmer of hope

So will the new hair that is produced after the procedure be androgen resistant and this procedure won't be able to give a nice shiny head a full head of hair? I'm sorry I'm not a hair expert and I tried my best to process that conversation.

From what I gather, they take cells from androgen resistant hair (hair in the back of the scalp that should never die), then they do something to those cells and inject them into the hair follicles that are NOT androgen resistant (meaning they are prone to be affected by MPB), making this follicles androgen resistant too. Bottom line is you get hair that is immune to androgenetic alopecia, meaning that you will maintain what you have for the rest of your life. At least that's what I believe they're aiming for?

Correct me if I'm wrong but no other company has actually said they think they have a cure. Ive always heard them hide behind words like "might, could, promote, potential, and treatment". Im glad they are so forthcoming with their info. They definitely aren't playing the Follica game. If these researchers are so confident with the results of upcoming trials then that seems like a very good sign.

That's what I'm also getting from my interpretation of this. Can someone please confirm this?

[FooFighter]

No problem man. Some people on here are braindead, they can believe what they want. I'd be happy to take screenshots from where I asked them the questions, but honestly I couldn't be bothered, and have no desire to reveal my real name. I was honestly stunned that they answered my questions, and so thoroughly, it's probably because I can use my brain and ask about things that are relevant to their line of inquiry. It's funny that someone would think I took the time out of my life to invent all that stuff, I'm just trying to enlighten people on here because I know it sucks not to have info. Maybe from now on I'll keep it to myself, god knows these researchers don't need their names associated online with the morass of imbeciles that seems to lurk on here. Pretty sure Dr. Xu stopped answering my emails because his name started to pop up on here.

Thank you man

This is good info.
Can you ask them about projected patient availability?

[brocktherock]

You should have also asked about dosage and what the Japanese study will do differently than their phase 2

Great work and positivity keep up the good work, ignore the negative posts and i pray this works for us .

The main problem about Replicel is that would be very expensive treatment for most of us and it will be only in Japan, so most of people can’t afford to travel 4-5 times in Tokyo to get a treatment. And they can’t afford it to a big population, because they dont have time and sources to do that.

You can get a round trip to Tokyo from new York for $1500.

How much does it cost? Do you know something or are you trying to drive the price up?

[Swooping]

Very good job on getting some information from them, interesting!

[efedrez]

God job! How did you managed to get in touch with them? Could we use your contact to address more questions from other members of the forum?

[Jazz1]

I personally beleive prices will be reasonable as they want to profit from majority not minority, in now day and age woman are also suffering androgenic alopecia!

[PatientlyWaiting]

Exactly it sucks hair falls out so fast. Still, it takes more than five years usually for a hair to fully crap out, so hopefully this stuff will bring back a fair amount. If it's as good as propecia we will have a lot to be thankful for. Fingers crossed.

If it's as good as Propecia? Can you elaborate? Propecia has been around for MPB since 1997. If one of these "10 years away" treatments like Replicel end up being as good as a drug from 1997, I don't see how that's something to be thankful for? 20+ years after Propecia, waiting, and waiting, for another Propecia.

I suppose he means the results of a good propecia without the side effects. Tho, I believe more in stem cells than just altering your hormone levels. I haven't yet gotten to read all of replicel, looking forward to it.
