Replicel's results make sense considering what David Hall was saying in his interview. I guess they wanted to present the same results in a more positive light - they must know that everyone is basically calling their trial a failure. Almost half of the participants got above 10% though, which isn't bad. Hopefully it improves at the one year mark.
As for traction alopecia, I don't know that I really buy that. I don't think pulling your hair back tight would cause your hairline to recede noticeably. It may cause more hair to fall out overall, but not more so at the temples than further back. Also "traction alopecia" seems to be a typical suggestion to women who are losing their hair when really it is AGA. People tell women that less stress, tying their hair loosely, better diet, et cetera will make their hair grow back, but in the end it doesn't really have to do with any of those things, it's just AGA. I've seen many women who tie their hair back tightly and still have all their hair.
Even in cases of actual traction alopecia, there is either scarring or new terminal hair growing in. And there would be a general pulling back of the hairline, not preferentially at the temples, looking exactly like MPB. I'm sure the scientists did a more close up examination to see if her follicles were miniaturized or not, to see if their treatment was actually doing anything or whether she was just regrowing her own lost hair.Comment

I have a receded hairline, that's not "fine" in my book. Regardless of what others think, I want it repaired.. by 2015 it will be even further back.
Please hurry, Histogen. Please

They need to release photos.For what it's worth, Replicel just released positive news. Apparently their results are better than they originally thought.
I'll be honest, it seems a little fishy to me. I don't know if this is for real, or if they just skewed some data to ameliorate the public's opinion of them, but it could be legit. It's great news if it is.
Also, wanted to point out one thing. The photos of the woman on the Histogen poster that everyone has been talking about - she really appears to have MPB. It's less common, but it happens - women can have male pattern baldness (receding hairline and bald areas), while men can lose hair in the female pattern (overall thinning). This woman has a receding hairline, and the product still worked very well in the temple area. This should be a promising sign to all, I think.Comment

2015 !! Dont put any hope b4 2020 !
to finalize all data for phaseII it will take them till end 2014
then they will start phase III which will take another 2 years = 2016
then commercializing it, which is the hardest part, will take another 2 years =2018
then you will be able to use but it will take 24 months to see results
so technically, the earliest we can benefit from HSC is 2020
and 2 years later for Replicel = 2022
so it will be 2025 when we can say that MPB is finally cured
2025 not 2015 !!Comment

Histogen + topical CB = best treatment for baldness the world has yet to see. The treatments are gonna get a lot better with time but those two above are way better than what's out now.
Low chance of sides, not systemic, low hassle/pain. Just hair saving.Comment
