In the retinal gig, induced pluripotent stem cells were used.Tissue is a mini hairfollicle not meant for transplantation it’s meant to be used for a so called OOC hair device (organ on a chip). Which is the topic of Lindners talk in Barcelona - personalized hair on a chip- for personalized compound testing. This is a brilliant idea.
INVITROHAIR patent filed a hairfollicle which is “intriguingly” celebrated by established (“hairloss”) scientists, this is why it’s created as a spin-off out of a CRO. - source will be kept secret-
Tuji is brilliant but - somehow - very eccentric- it is very unlikely that it will be approved in Europe or the USA. I’m as well not positive about the timelines for their preclinical work..... (Look what happened with the Japanese Retina STEMCELLS experiments.....than you understand the Japanese style of working with human individual experiments.
OGT entails autologous stem cells.
Two different things.
The former is VERY, VERY expensive (~1,000,000$ per patient!!!), the latter rather moderately expensive.
