not really I'm just saying if Histogen is going for a COSMETIC procedure rather than something MEDICAL(from the regenerative category) then they're wasting time because first, they don't have to go through FDA for that and second, we already have a bunch of peptides that regrow hair.
I hope I'm wrong and I hope that Histogen is much better than I imagine it to beComment

The criteria used for determining what constitutes a drug (from the standpoint of the FDA) has nothing to do with whether the effects are permanent. That isn't the factor that distinguishes drugs from cosmetics.Comment

I don't know what's happened to 2020. He's gone all crazy recently.
He used to bring up very good info on mechanisms of baldness and whatnot. Now he's just downtalking histogen.
HSC it's better than we all thought to be. The question is if it'll work on everyone !Comment

2020 if baldness is your main concern with becoming a steroid pumped superman then surely you should be on other forums that are all awaiting cures for the dozen other side effects associated with steroid use, namely liver tumours and heart attacks.Comment

Do you think Spencer could ask one of the researchers from one of the major companies their opinion on combining solutions from different companies in a separate clinical trial?
Lets say Histogen combine solutions with Replicel and conduct a phase I trial in say 20 patients?... the research for both solutions is there, we have mountains of it from over 30 years.
Would this be possible? I know they are competitors but perhaps merging they could actually come up with a treatment better than every other company in trials today, it would also work wonders for them financially.Comment

Is it a coincidence that strong anti-inflammatories, botox, and thymosin grow hair like crazy?Comment

2020 why so depressed? Team Tokyo are coming to the rescue

if it works the way I described in previous posts then no. Bald spots will fail to respond to "growth factors" just like they fail to respond to your body's own growth factors due to upregulated COX-2 enzyme.

2 years ago he said wnt ligands would have no impact on hair growth but he was talking rubbish - over that time Histogen have proved him wrong and wnt proteins have also reversed grey hair.
A regular NSAID can be used as a COX-2 inhibitor, you can try celecoxib (Celebrex), valdecoxib (Bextra), parecoxib (Dynastat), lumiracoxib - to see if it brings you back to NW1 but I doubt it will.
(Although I believe some were taken off the market because Merck fabricated some of the clinical trials' data surrounding the analgesic effects of the drugs - leading many to encounter fatal cardiovascular complications, some of the products were taken off the market.Comment

not crazy. just the more I research, the more disappointed I become in those future treatments...

Your research at best is novice.Comment

Also another question: how long will these results last? What makes them think that your body will take over once these growth factors "wear off"?Comment

Lol they have lasted past the two year mark - how do you know that the results have declined? Maybe Gail Naughton will come on the show and say "yes the first patients are still experiencing stable hair growth" - what will you say then?
And plz name me another treatment that you use ONCE and then experience hair growth for 2 years?
Can you and Iron_Man please find me a COX-2 inhibitor that can do that?
I doubt it.
Regarding your comments about "the HSC not used in bald spots" - in all honesty, some of the pictures at baseline, the hair looked pretty shit to me - you could see copious amounts of vellus hair that looked like they had endured years of being raped by DHT - and all of a sudden 6 months later they were glowing terminal hairs and had new hairs surrounding them. I call that a win.Comment
