Spencer Kobren Interviews Dr. Jerry Cooley | ACell MatriStem Plucked Hair

[SilverSurfer]

Question for Dr. Cooley

Estimado Dr. Cooley,

Thank you so much for puhing the limits of what was thought of as conventional. I speak for myself (but I am pretty sure most will agree) this are very exciting news.

I have one concern though, in some interview this other doctor said something about the possibility of stirring up cancer cells. Do you think his point is valid? In my opinion it is not since the product is already FDA approved (hundreds of tests, trials, etc) but just wondering, what would be your answer for that? Again thank you.

What language do you want me to use when someone attacks me, putting in my mouth words that I have not said?

Something other than gratuitous insults couched in childish grade-school vocabulary.

Thank you Spencer!!!

Here's an interview with Dr Robert Bernstein talking about Acell

[Westonci]

I asked Dr. Cooley a question via email.

I got a response from his associate, who also happens to be the lady in the slide show who received some autocloned hair on her eyebrows:

Regarding the results in general:

Early on the results were very unpredictable but we have continued to learn and to change technique and to refine. This refinement has given us much more consistent and predictable results but as with any surgery there is still that element of the unknown..... No one can absolutely promise the statistics in surgery, only what we expect using the knowledge of results and proven technique.


Regarding the angle of re-growth:

We do have control over the angle of re-growth and that has always been very predictable because of the way the incisions are created by Dr. Cooley.


This is excellent news.

[Spanish Dude]

thanks Westonci.
Yes, in an eyebrow the angle is very important. A single hair popping out at 90º would be quite noticeable.

Wonderful lecture that clearly explains the biology behind the use of Extracellular matrix. Dr. Cooley shows interesting ways that this new technology may improve the hair restoration procedures we currently offer our patients. I am certain that his pioneering work will stimulate new reasearch and significantly change our field in the coming years. Bravo Jerry!

And here is the 6 years old written "wonderful lecture" that clearly explains the biology behing the use of Extracellular matrix:

Indeed - a wonderful lecture!

Well I am cautiously optimistic about Acell. Even Dr. Rassman has put his toe into the water.

Wenstonci, why do you post the same as Iron_Man in Hairsite?

Wenstonci, why do you post the same as Iron_Man in Hairsite?
http://www.************/hair-loss/fo...-id-74602.html

Maybe for the purpose so that Spanish Dud can ask him stupid questions?

Westonci has my PERMISSION to copy my posts whenever and whatever he may find interesting, for the purpose to share them with other users/hair loss sufferers.

BTW – Why do YOU always copy other users posts from other forums/sites?

http://www.************/hair-loss/fo...st_answer.html

Just for the plain purpose to discredit them?

Spanish Dud, STAY ON TOPIC and do not "spoil Cooley's thread at baldtruth-tk” !!

[Spanish Dude]

Step aside, Iron_Scrap. My question was for Westonci.

[tbtadmin]

We are once again going to ask that you stay on topic . This thread is for those who want to learn about Dr. Cooley's research, and these type of posts make it difficult for Dr. Cooley and others to participate. Please refrain from making inflammatory and off topic posts.

Thank you.

Spencer Kobren Interviews Dr. Gary Hitzig – The Pioneer In Using ACell MatriStem For Hair Restoration

http://www.iahrs.org/news/spencer-kobren-interviews-gary-hitzig-acell/

[Spanish Dude]

Before I listen to Hitzig's interview, one important question:

Anybody knows what kind of plucking is this? How does it compare to waxing?

I discussed with Ahab, at HS, that waxing damages the follicles. After repetitive waxing, follicles get thinner, and eventually could die.

http://www.************/hair-loss/fo...-id-69227.html

This applies to body hair waxing . But scalp hair is weaker than body hair, so I expect it to suffer even more from waxing.

Also, I assume that autocloning-plucking is even more "damaging" than waxing.

Resume of the hypothesis: Plucking scalp hair repeatedly could kill the donor follicle after just a few pluckings.
The question is how many pluckings can be done on the donor follicle, without compromising its normal long-term functioning.

Thus, it would be necessary to monitor closely the donor area, to see how well it regenerates after the first, second, etc harvestings. For example, totally harvesting a 1cm x 1cm donor area and marking that region using a tatoo. This has been sugested by topcat at Hairsite, (and also in previous occasions by other forum members).

[Spanish Dude]

Oh, I am watching Cooley's slides again (part 4, the eyebrow repair case), and Cooley says there is a bit of bleeding when the donor is plucked. so it seems that it is indeed more aggressive than waxing, and, as I expected, this could damage the donor follicle significantly.

To avoid damage to the donor follicle, why not placing a little bit of Acell after plucking, in the donor site?

there are a lot of things to be tried, eh?
