Stemson have a very different business plan.
Their end goal is having a bank of iPSC and then offer treatment. So no matter how much or little hair you have left, your doctor makes an order and they supply the doctor with what is needed for your transplant.
As the fan boy I am, i'm still hoping for Replicel.
Because its regenerative, so in my hate the perfect result would be to rebuild what i once had. And because they are actually working on humans. So we are not talking about distant future, but about things actually happening. Sure their solution for now isn't a perfect result, but for me its easier to work with.
If i remember RIKENs method, about cultivating and then inject with nylon threads and such, it introduces too many factors that i'm not willing to go with.
And stemson with "generic" iPSC bank, it just doesn't attract me.
But RIKEN and Stemson have the same common problem, non of them have proved to be working in humans. So for now they are an interesting angle, but still a "lab-project".
I will say that i do hope they offer something in the future, but i won't believe we are talking near future.
