    Guys lets just see if it grows anything first. We'll talk percentages, compoundability and diminisihing results when they publish their trial results.

    Go out, worry about something else, and try to enjoy yourselves for the next 2 months. Because so far you are riding on hope. And hope can be a fickle bi***.

      If nothing happens soon, I will have to kill my cat, cut a head-shaped piece of fur out and superglue it to my head.

        well why not... with that many injections, I'm sure many more hair follicles would "reactivate" and your head hair will start to fill in.
        It would be silly to assume that a second injection has ZERO effect

          Why would you assume that? Do you think that if you take four aspirins instead of two, your headache will go away twice as fast? Or that if you get two flu vaccinations instead of one, you'll be twice as unlikely to catch the flu?

              This pretty much had me rolling considering my cat was sitting next to me.

                Maybe.....

                But if all the follicules are capable of reactivating, why in one specific area does only 15-30% reactivate?

                Do you think.....there were only enough chemicals to feed 15-30% of those follicules. The more dosage the more follicules that are 'fed'?

                I am thinking that surely for that small a scalp area they injected that if that was the case then why is the hair growth evenly sparsely spread out. Surely the closest follicules to the injection would have sucked up this chemical.

                  exactly.
                  With more injections - more cells - higher chance of some more follicles to activate

                    We can only hope. If I can get my hair back when I am 30 I guess that will do.

                      check out their website if you haven't.

                      1. Theyre pretty confident they will achieve growth but do not know how much but they do mention 20% will make their company the NEW STANDARD for Baldness treatments.

                      2. They never planned on giving you a couple of injections. They plan on cultivating your cells, replicate millions of them, giving them back to the clinic doing the procedure and you can have MANY injections ALL OVER YOUR SCALP, not just a few, A LOT.

                      I don't know if one injection is one litter of material lol...that could be bad but from their device it doesn't look like it.

                      I think they're science is perfect however we don't know the efficacy of the procedure yet. If you could target my DSC cells into where my follicles used to be/are I'd grow hair for sure...unless there is an undiscovered part of the follicle that cannot be extracted and the vehicle might screw it up too who knows.

                      What really is amazing is that they were able to grow hair on a mouse's foot.
                      So they basically might have done the procedure on a human before the trials just to see if the vehicle and the injection procedure was correct, i dont know.

                      Also remember they are kinda small company their procedure does not involve ANYTHING NEW, so you could say its CHEAP for them and good in terms of the FDA trying to stop it (conspiracy). However, trials are COSTLY, they must have known FOR SURE that it works for them to even invest money and talk about PHASE II.

                      Let's just hope for the best because if they don't show the results in march...that doesn't mean their science is wrong...it means they could not target the cells in the scalp very well so that might take them some time to figure it out...and we might be 40 before we get our hair back.

                      I think I'm very optimistic...I feel like climbing up only to fall down harder than ever....lol..

                      But we are on the same side guys...don't put the young bald dudes down...they will have a full head of hair in the future.

                      It's us oldies who should be worried

                        Does it grow back hair permanently, are the cells permanently rejuvinated?

                        DHT will still exist how will these new hairs be protected form it?

                          RepliCel Provides Quarterly Update on First-In-Man Clinical Trials
                          9:03a ET January 30, 2012

                          (Market Wire) RepliCel Life Sciences Inc. (the "Company" or "RepliCel") (OTCBB: REPCF) is pleased to report that the six-month post injection follow-up period of its TS001-2009 clinical trial is nearing completion.

                          To date, 17 of 19 subjects have had their six-month follow-up visit, during which time subjects had their overall health evaluated. This included subjective and objective assessment of verum and placebo injected sites and digital images were taken of the scalp and injection areas. The digital images will be used to assess any treatment response and any post-injection changes in scalp health compared to baseline and between the two treatment areas. The remaining two patients are scheduled to complete their follow-up visits before the end of March. Four patients will complete 12-month follow-up visits in that same time frame.

                          To date, no serious adverse events have been reported post injection in any of the 10 men and 9 women participating in the study.

                          The TS001-2009 study team will be performing a thorough review of the collected study data throughout the months of March and April 2012. Once complete, the treatment groups will be revealed ('un-blinded') to the data analysis team and the data will be analyzed. RepliCel remains on schedule to release the initial review of efficacy results in April 2012.

                          Subject efficacy at 6-months post injection is the first step in measuring a treatment response. All subjects will continue to participate in the post injection follow-up period of the study until August 2013 and a review of final safety and efficacy results will commence before the end of 2013. The continued follow-up period is a key component of the study to confirm treatment safety profile and response trends at 6, 12 and 24 months.

                          The initial data from RepliCel's 6-month subject follow-up will be used in the Company's Investigational Medical Product Dossier (IMPD), which is presently being developed for a Phase IIb dose-ranging clinical trial of 100 patients that is expected to commence in fall 2012. The protocol will be submitted to the EMEA, FDA and Health Canada for review. A final decision on the location of the trial is pending.

RepliCel(TM) is based on autologous cell implantation technology that replicates a patient's hair cells from their own healthy hair follicles and, when reintroduced into areas of hair loss, the Company hopes to initiate natural hair regeneration. Patents for the technology have been issued by the European Union and Australia and are pending in other major international jurisdictions. The RepliCel(TM) procedure has been developed over the past nine years by the Company's recognized research scientists and medical experts - specialists in the fields of hair growth, hair biology and dermatology.

                            It's safe, we already knew that from P1. But yet again, no information on whether or not it grows actual hair.
