RIKEN Announcement: Succeeded in Developing Tech for HF Regenerative Medicine: Study to be Published Feb 10

It is not a problem at all. They will find partners and money very soon. Don’t worry.

RIKEN is among top 10 university in Japan, and among top 200 worldwide, so they have very high credibility among scientific world. So, anyone calling Dr.Tsuji and his team liars is totally nonsense.

Working ethics and pressure in Japan are very high. So, nobody wants to play with fire there and lose their credibility.

Just see what happened with Yoshiki Sasai from RIKEN couple of years ago.

yes but it should only be a donation. Aderans wouldn't benefit from it, would it?

no but if they form a start up like StemsonTx and develop a model to deliver it to the market. But I think their patents belong under Riken

20 years?! What the hell are you talking about !
Once its out ! You would see tons of new biotech compnay achive the same result even faster !
Its always easy to replicate exsit tech then developing it for the first time .
we already have competition from stemson side.

its gona be wayyy less . I would say 5-6 after its out you would see nee company working to get the same thing. Its will be even easier to get invesment for such development cuz they tech would show already the bussniess potential .
The same as you see with crypto coins now the first one was bitcoins and now you have tons of coins.

You misunderstood what I said. This method replaces your hair. I meant that within 20 years we will have a treatment available that will protect the hair we were born with from ever falling out which would greatly reduce the need for hair multiplication.

next generation hair pharmaceuticals: maintaining health of hair follicles

Second generation hair pharmaceuticals: altering genotype of hair alleles to attain any hair type you want

third-generation hair pharmaceuticals: immortality

Which one of you disrespectful degenerates is this?

Yeah, gotta say it doesn't really bode well for the company that they are accepting donations. If this science is that promising then they should be trying to raise funds privately.

This has already been covered. Raising money privately means they will have to answer to investors and shareholders, which is likely to put further limitations on treatment accessibility down the line when it's finally available.

we need to get IG influencers and hairloss YouTubers to make videos about this fundraiser. I emailed hairliciously and he said he will look into it.

I find it very confusing that this supposed huge research company with university and government ties is out here asking for donations and funding for 4.8 million when that type of money is basically nothing in research/biotech/government funding.

There are companies with 0 pre-clinical data getting seed investments of 8 figures everyday from private and public sources, yet this company with a completed pre-clinical program that could potential lead to organ regeneration can't get 4.8 million? I want to believe this can be legit, but seriously, who conducts business like this?

 

[pegasus2]

People, don’t be silly. RIKEN is very big institution. If they have treatment that is working, they will find partners very easy.

Plus, donations from IG and YouTube bloggers is very silly.

They don't seem to think it's silly. They are asking people to spread the news where they can. They don't care where the donations come from, they just need the money. I'm sure they'd rather solicit a lot of small donations through IG than to have to grant rights to a venture capitalist.

That's a completely ridiculous statement. At 5 million they could easily get a silent investment partner that has 0 influence over any business decisions and just takes a financial stake with no voting or strategic rights.

 

[trialAcc]

As been said here .
Donation = no regulation from investors.

Yeah, and as someone who works in capital markets I'm telling you that's not a valid reason. It's utterly ridiculous.

Dr.Tsuji and his team are not business managers. They need to hire professionals who will looking for business partners and negotiate with big companies. Just look what happened with Replicel and Shiseido.

Yeah and it shows lol. This looks like amateur hour.

did you notice pewdiepie is balding. pewdiepie needs to spread awareness of this and the goal will be met in 1 hour lol

Donations are always better than giving profits away. Any investor is going to expect a substantial return for investing 5 million in something that hasn't begun clinical trials. That said, I think they will end up partnering with someone, and soon.

the fact they only requested 4.8 million shows they are confident with their preclinical research and have most things figured out. it makes sense they want public donations for this reason

Might as well call Justin Bieber and the Paul brothers while you're at it because the guys are going south quickly and can dish out 4.8 million by themselves.

 

[Joxy]

It is very easy and simple.

Stemson created private company. They hire CEOs and professionals in business world and they got money very easy.

Dr.Tsuji should follow same way.

 

[jan_miezda]

wow hairliciously is a champion. he made a video about the fundraising. what a legend

 

[Throwaway94]

You think that it'll be easy to find a single silent partner to fund it with minimal return on investment? Or agree to no return if the project fails? I think that's easier said than done, Riken aren't profit driven they just want to do their research. Donations are a better way of achieving that if they believe the money can be raised that way without losing years of productive time.
