I still have high hopes for Histogen though. Noone has a treatment like theirs, and in combination with aderans? Who knows.

2. Androgen receptors have only been found on the dermal papillae (DP) cells of hair follicles. That's what Aderans is replacing, so yes it definitely is possible!
Could it really take 6 years to finish Phase III and get FDA approval?Comment

OK, I just did a bit of reading and found the following: The average time from completion of Phase 3 trials to FDA approval has dropped from 30 months (Late 80's) to 10-15 months (2005+).
So assuming Phase 3 takes around 2 years and FDA approval 1 year, we should have Aderans on the market by late 2016 to early 2017!
Here's the FDA link if you wanna read about it:

A few thoughts,
1. MODERATORS of this forum need to step in and control the discussion so that it stays on topic and refrains from abuse. It is VERY annoying when there is news like this and there is page after page after page of talk which has NOTHING to do with Aderans.
2. My personal view is that Aderans have knocked the socks of Histogen and Repicel. Their trial is huge and their photos show CLEAR re-growth. Something I cant really see in Histogens macro shots.
3. OK, so theyre not creating new follicles but this is a huge step forward. Between DHT, BDGF, TGFbeta1, PGE2, PGD2 and so much more, there is no way we will develop a therapy that fixes the signalling problem that makes us bald. Cell multiplication and bio-engineered hairs are the only real possible 'cure'. Aderans are achieving re-growth that is visible after just one injection. And they seem active in finding out just how many of those cells are working and how many are not. Its a big big plus. They have proven that cells can be multiplied to provide a visible change. How can that not be a huge step towards a cure?4. Are those hairs now DHT resistant? Is that signalling issue now resolved? Essentially those shrinking hairs have inducted these new cells. The next big step is for them to find out how many of the injected cells are actually being inducted and possibly subjecting transformed hair to some kind of "DHT test"?
5. Spencer needs to interview this guy. Id say as a top priority. If he, or a moderator is reading this, please oblige!
People might play down Aderans regrowth but I would pay £20k right now if it was available. Sorry to NW7s and NW6s but there are plenty of people around with plenty of hair left that they can save. Is their a video available of the questions that audience went on to ask him?Comment
