I want some chinese lab to knock up a batch so I can try it out.

Boondock said:I can understand the pessimism. Intercytex got closer than this, and then went bust. Histogen looks promising, for sure, but who knows what's gunna happen? Don't forget they have a huge lawsuit on their *** still.

Yes they do. We've never been closer. Still, I think a lot of the people on here have heard about a lot of stuff like this over the years, so you can hardly blame them for not celebrating too early. Histogen still have lots of work to do. All we can do is cross our fingers and wait.
I agree, but just a quick question: Intercytex was hair multiplication right?

Yes indeed. One of the other firms (Follica, I think) actually bought their research not that long ago.

Only difference between then and now is that half of the sh*t was "theoretical". They are making concrete breakthroughs now. I tell you now, next 10-20 years there will be a REAL breakthrough - if not a cure. There is so much money to be made here, why wouldn't anyone want to solve it.

I do agree with you mate, but still it's not surprising that people don't wanna get their hopes up. It's VERY exciting though, and I'm looking forward to following their phase I and II trials.
Reality : Histogen still have a lawsuit that can potentially bust the company and investors pulled out millions after hearing the newsOknow said:Yeah I understand, but if you look at it into perspective it is all coming along nicely:
Skeptics: ICX tech will be dissolved by Phizer or some big drug company.
Reality: It was bought by Aidens.
Skeptics: Histogens law suit will mess them up.
Reality: They have made a breakthrough.

i do think we'll be able to cure male pattern baldness in 10 years time and i think that ARI and histogen will provide marketable products before 10 years but i don't think they'll be as good as the hype
i can see ARI being as much of a cure for male pattern baldness like IVF is a cure for infertility, people can get ivf but the chances of a feutus being fertilised isn't by any means certain, and i can see ARI bringing the same uncertainty when brought onto market initially, maybe they might biopsy about 200 hairs but it would like fail you might get 150 hairs back work and you get 40000 hairs back but i definitely don't see it working perfectly
we have no evidence whether or not histogen hair is andro-sensitive therefore we don't know if it is a decent treatment, it's only proven to be better than minoxidil and propecia
ARI have an effective in vitro hm but hasn't proven to work well in vivo
histogen did deliver results on a safety trial, they weren't trying to see how well it worked they just wanted to prove that HSC won't kill you so i have to admit it was a breakthrough but a breakthrough is only the beginning, we didn't have transatlantic flights a day after the Wright brothers first flew their plane
Kube8 said:So what is a baseline in this study? I'm just looking at the pictures Histogen posted and I'm wondering how big that area is. Did it vary per patient? I'm guessing it's just an average with a percentage increase in general as they mentioned? 73.61%
Baseline: 179
3 months: 193
1 year: 263.5
I'm just wondering what this actually means. I mean, after one year, they didn't even double the amount of hairs (not to poo poo the study). So does this mean that if you have only 2 hairs on your head, you'd only grow maybe 1, possibly 2 new hairs? I know that sounds silly, but I'm just trying to figure out what these results actually mean. Are we going to potentially go from being completely bald to having a full head of hair? Surely, we still have to wait over another year for their next trials to be complete which would tell us more, but I'm just curious.
I want it all! lol
this is still phase 1, they are only concerned about safety,Smooth said:In the bald truth interview they mentioned the results are from one injection only... maybe with multiple treatments or more concentrated treatment you can see better results.
and btw, they didnt mention anything about trying the treatment on bald areas... right?
