[Breaking Bald]

So we could potentially have an effective treatment available to us in 3 years!!??

They are saying 2018-2019 release in Asia if all goes well..it's a long shot, but possible.

They said 2018 they plan to start commercializing. I hope you can get the biopsy done in the states and have it shipped to japan or it could get expensive quick

The part which i like most:

Shiseido is currently preparing to launch an RCH-01 clinical research study for the treatment of pattern baldness under the supervision of key clinical opinion leaders of hair research in Japan.”

Maybe these leaders of hair research will realise how to make this treatment much more successful and better.

AL: I like RepliCel's approach. If you look at the whole regenerative field, you will find research using adipose (fat) cells or generic stem cells that can be injected into patients. Sometimes these methods get good results. But what I'm looking for are technologies that are particularly made for addressing the market, and that will have decent COGS. When we did our initial due diligence on this company, I was surprised by the great comments from scientists about the people associated with RepliCel. The process looks rational. If you look at the two technologies—RCH-01 and RCT-01—they aren't stem cells in the classical sense, but they are uniquely suited for their indications.

Replicel just tweeted that Shiseido is preparing to start their trial, not big news but they emailed another member of this forum and just said they were planning to commercialize in 2018. This is very good news.

Is this true?Can We have a copy of the e mail on the forum?

I emailed Shiseido asking when they are starting their trial and when they plan to release the product and here's their response:

"Thanks for contacting us. Regarding your inquiry, we are planning to start commercializing the project that related to safe and effective hair regenerative medicine for those who suffer from alopecia and thinning hair, in 2018. That is all we're able to tell you about this project now. Thank you very much for your interest."

I'm hoping this is the current status. It wasn't very long ago that I had emailed them, probably a month or two ago. However, I hope this email was written that day and this isn't just a canned response written a long time ago that they send to everyone that inquires about it.

Unfortunately I got the same response a couple of months(about 2) ago. Seems like an e-mail template to me.
