Actual picture of the biodegradable scaffold Stemson is using for hair cloning

Be a good baldie and don't spread misinformation.
The research being done at Organ Tech before the company went down wasn't using iSPC cells. Anyone who did a little research on them knows that.

EDIT: They may have played around with iPSCs since they have done academic research with it, but that's was not where they were betting the farm on. It's very clear from that interview: https://www.hairlosstalk.com/news/new-research/hair-primordiums-tsuji-organ-interview-sept2016/

Off course they have, Incidentally, also in dental research
man, who cares about their dental research and other speculative experiments they were doing.

The point here is that the hair cloning approach Stemson is using to differentiate and expand the cells is fundamentally different from the research that failed at Organ Tech.

Stemson may end up failing too, but for other reasons.

"Stemson did the same research with Tsuji. If Tsuji has failed, Stemson will also fail"

It's very simple: the approach that Stemson is using is different from approach that Tsuji was using over Organ Tech.

I don't get how hard is to understand such a simple fact? Even Dr. K explicitly have commented on that before.

And I'm discussing with people that have difficulties to accept that the research that Tsuji was conducting at Organ have failed, even after the company went under, their website stopped working, and Tsuji decided to never again talk again of the subject, like it never happened LOLOL. Ok guys.

Incidentally, stemson will also delay 100 percent. If you think that the pipeline will be kept completely, you are naive
You are tergiversating. No one said anything about delays. We're talking about websites disappearing, companies "suspending" their business, investors writing off their investments, and lead researchers becoming a tumb about the subject.

You bet that if Stemson follows that same route I will be the first one to call them out too.

Enough said.

The problem was youngjet was the one feeding us false hopes and hyping everything up. Not tsuji and he didn’t fail yet. He has more challenges now and it will take longer

When Alexey says deploy to clinic, does this mean to begin human trials or a step further than that? Are human trials in a clinic considered "deploying to clinic"?

Also, in his interview with Bradley Wolf, he mentions at approximately 16:40 that one of the remaining challenges is to have the cells of a follicle talk to each other, but hasn't he more or less already solved that five years ago as part of growing hair in mice?

After doing some more reading I found this quote "Scientists from Sanford Burnham Prebys have created natural-looking hair that grows through the skin using human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), a major scientific achievement that could revolutionize the hair growth industry. The findings were presented today at the annual meeting of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) and received a Merit Award. A newly formed company, Stemson Therapeutics, has licensed the technology." from https://www.sbpdiscovery.org/news/functional-hair-follicles-grown-from-stem-cells
Does anyone have any information regarding this, such as whether they mean an actual human follicle they might potentially transplant into a human, or are they still referring to their transplant onto a mouse from over five years ago? Does anyone know where we can find their presentation to the ISSCR?
