Follica, a follow up from 2004 finding?

[DP]

Hey guys -

I read updates from time to time but don't do much research on my own. That said - I have a quick question and pardon my ignorance. In 2004 - George Cotsarelis and his team made that breakthrough discovery of the"blank slate" stem cell. Is the Follica method/potential treatment somehow related to that? I'm just wondering if they are actually connecting dots here. It feels like these random breakthrough studies come out from time to time but there are no real follow ups. If it is, that is very encouraging. Let me know what you guys think.

Also - histogen seems promising.. are they still being sued? do you think hair transplant surgeons have any influence, negative or positive, on the eventual release of these products to market?

Thanks in advance!

Hiya, I read they were to release results of their first trials fall 2009. But nothing has been mentioned on their site yet. I've emailed them and I will post their reply. Hopefully they will give some indication about when the trial results will be released.
