Quote from Desmond
"What I will say for now however is that their research on hair regeneration did not stop in 2010 after Dr Lauster's paper was published. Their work continued at a much faster pace than I had imagined. One important point I should make is they are only working with human cells and have overcome a lot of problems that we had imagined in terms of culturing DP cells. Their talk tomorrow will also cover some of that."

Their work needs to go commercial for us balding men as fast as possible. Nobody has sympathy for us.

I'd like to see us fund their research through crowdfunding and make it available as a treatment in countries that allow it. We then use a portion of the revenue from the procedures to further fund their progress in clinical trials in europe and the procedures they do perform in other countries can be used for safety and efficacy studies.

That sounds way easier than it really is. Crowdfunding part is doable, but are you asking to make some king of offshore company where we're going to be in charge of the the business side of it?

I am all for funding Lausters work, they seem to be one of the only ones that deserve it. Surely not follicle with that fiasco answers dr Cot gave.

Although this isn't Dr. Lauster, I assume Dr. Xu is using the same method -

To determine if the iPSC-derived epithelial stem cells can make human hair follicles, the researchers mixed the epithelial stem cells with dermal papillae cells from a mouse, and grafted the cells onto the skin of immunodeficient mice. The cells were able to produce human epidermis and hair follicles, which Xu says were “nearly identical to the epithelial stem cells directly isolated from a hair follicle—biochemically, in gene expression, as well as functionally.”

“I think we can probably make that happen in 10 years,” Xu says. “I’m pretty confident because we are very close. There is a lot of promise, but there is still a long way to go. But I think it’s very much possible.”

Hopefully Desmond has some mind blowing news.

I think for most people 10 years is just too long and then it would be already too late. What I mean by that is for example if you lose your hair when you are 30 and after say 10 a 12 years there is something, you already will be 40 anyway....

You're right, that's way too much time to wait. If nothing comes out then I will be in my late 30s and will probably still get the treatment but in the mean time what, nothing we can do. The new generation is lucky that they're not going to suffer this nightmare.

Oh it's absolutely way too F'ing long, but what can we do ? We're sitting ducks.
