    Yeah maybe follica just doesn't wanna constanty update because when companies do that you have reactions like histogen has. Too much pressure to follow up a phase/ trial that people find insignificant or too promising. Follica probably just wanna get the work done (if they're really onto something) and then make the announcement that they have it. Then they'll get all the attention and more that announcing trial results for years could give them.

    Same goes for Histogen. I doubt that we will hear anything in the near future except when they finish certain key points

    But one thing is for sure here, all of them have shown regrowth and sustaining hair :-) but the only bad thing is the waiting time. But the relief will be great

    If they really had something remarkable then you'd expect them to voice their results to potential investors. How would information for investors differ to that of the information they provide for potential consumers?
    Like I said, they didn't speak about trials. Don't expect to hear
    much from them. It's all "business" with them and secrecy due to investors. Spencer can't even get interviews with them. Spencer constantly says that if any news would come, he would hear about it first. I guess that's why they reported this on the show. Regardless, we don't know if it's minor or major but we know they got something going on.

    It would be nice if Joe could post his news here. Tell us exactly what he heard. Joe is the main reason why I listen to the show. His weekly news. Help us out Joe!

    Scientists find a 'cure' for grey hair
    By Ceri Roberts, Jun 17, 2011

    If you're fed up with dyeing your hair to hide those grey roots, we've got some good news.

    Scientists have identified a protein called 'wnt' that's responsible for the production of colour in each of our strands of hair.

    In a series of experiments they discovered that this protein is key to hair retaining its colour and it also stimulates hair growth and produces new hair follicles.

    As a result, we could look forward to the development of drugs, lotions and shampoos that raise levels of wnt - and restore white or grey hair to its original colour.

    And as the same protein is responsible for hair growth, boosting levels of wnt could also help to prevent the thinning that often occurs with age.

    Writing in the journal Cell, the researchers from New York University's Lagone Medical Centre explain that the protein wnt kickstarts a chain of reactions that lead to stem cells in the scalp maturing and producing the pigment that gives hair its colour.

    They have yet to discover whether it's a fault in this system that causes us to go grey.

    Most Britons notice their first grey hair at around the age of 25.

    It's thought that genetics determine if and when a person will go grey, but stress, smoking, alcohol, poor diet and even dyeing your hair blonde are all thought to speed up the process.

    I posted this on it's own thread but thought I'd also add it on to here because it seems to me to back up the science behind Histogens procedure.

    These researchers are confirming that WNT is involved in stimulating hair growth and the production of new follicles. It's good to see that it will also help with greying of hair. I also think it's great to know other researchers are working with WNT in regards to hair issues and they talk about bringing out a product that will increase WNT levels. One product that could basically deal with the two main problems people suffer with regarding hair (greying and hair loss) would be a huge deal.

    I'm 26 years old. I've always thought white was attractive, even a touch of grey hair. Nothing wrong with grey hair, at all.

    Default I agree...

    I agree with you guys, I don't have a problem with grey/white hair although white hair does sometimes look thin due to being void of colour.

    I'd give anything to be greying rather than balding, I think eveyone on here would.

    However I do think that balding and greying at the two main issues people have regarding hair. You just have to look at the huge range of hair dyes for both men and women whenever you go to the supermarket.

    Therefore I believe there will be a real interest in producing a product that will raise WNT levels and be a solution to both greying and hair loss. It will appeal to a huge range of people - basically all adult men and women who want to hold off the signs of aging.

    Where did they confirm the production of new follicles?

    "In a series of experiments they discovered that this protein is key to hair retaining its colour and it also stimulates hair growth and produces new hair follicles."

    It states it in the article.
