Ridiculous

No, 2024 is the deadline for the recruiment of 5 milion dollars, the actual day could even be a week from now.
If tomorrow a serious company steps in, in six months they will have started the trials.

My bad. I’m on the run and misunderstood. lol. Alright well hooopefully it happens sooner rather than later.

Its 5 million dollars. Not 5 billion. I give it to the end of Summer, max.

I think at some point a company will just step in and fund the full 5 million,i really doubt money will come from donations.

Realizing the potential of regenerative biology | RIKEN

At the heart of biomedical research and innovation in Kobe, the Center for Developmental Biology is in an excellent position to apply its pioneering research to regenerative medicine.

www.riken.jp

Regenerative medicine-related research and other biology research only received 30 million in 2013. Its probably less now with funding cuts. Really hope Tsuji finds a partner fast

"With an annual budget of over 3 billion yen [30 million USD], the CDB supports 30 active research laboratories and employs 435 staff members, including 213 women and 43 foreign researchers"

lol I love how we think our donations will make a difference. I mean I love the sentiment-- and im not against it-- but realistically, how much would this forum raise? 10 grand-- max? Thats a drop in the bucket for how much they need

who do you think will invest in them? what is the role of Kyocera?

f***— let’s all message Bezos

f***— let’s all message Bezos

its just a matter of awareness. people fundraise hundreds of millions for breast cancer and there are dozens of treatments for it now

True! Good point!

dont hold your breath anyone

Yeah isn’t Bezos paying attention? I bet if he had hair his wife would have been less likely to leave him, he would have been a more genetically attractive male. He could give Tsuji all the money he needs tomorrow.

I genuinely don't see Bezos getting a hair treatment done. Dude built his empire while he was still balding so clearly wasn't enough of a distraction.

bahahah this is pure entertainment here

Budget cuts fuel frustration among Japan’s academics - Nature

Funding trouble at flagship research centre reflects a broader malaise in the country’s scientific priorities that must be addressed.

www.nature.com

Nature 548, 259 (17 August 2017)
"RIKEN’s budget has been cut by more than 20% over the past 10 years. In response, the BSI has reduced its number of principal investigators from 61 to 41 over that period."

I can't believe it's 2021 and people are still hoping replicel will work. How many times do they have to fail before people give up on the idea of regrowth? Simply injecting dp cells obviously isn't going to cut it, and the research is starting to show us why. Their tech is based on an outdated understanding of HF morphology.

no one is hoping it will work, it actually works.

So i don't understand what the failure is? Is the failure that they are doing active research, and doing research on humans?

 

[MeDK]

There is very little chance that iPSCs will became cancerous.

Plus, in 2020 there were couple of breakthroughs by scientists how to clone iPSCs without spending months in labs.

Customized programming of human stem cells

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) have the potential to convert into a wide variety of cell types and tissues. However, the 'recipes' for this conversion are often complicated and difficult to implement. Researchers have now found a way to systematically extract hundreds of different cells...

www.sciencedaily.com

Yes many things have taken huge steps forward within the cloning therapy and a like.

Things that once took months and weeks, are now down to minutes because of the fast development within the supply chains that supply the different treatments within this field.

I genuinely don't understand why hair regeneration research always struggles so hard for money. Jeff Bezos made $12m per hour this year. He is an extreme example but there are thousands of other super-richies. They could fund this research so easily.

I don't expect those psychopaths to do it for noble reasons. But it's a long-term reliable cash cow if something works. New balding guys are born every day.

I can't even take this comment seriously lol There's no way you're not trolling

His wife left him because he got engaged to a younger woman, not because he is bald. Bezos was even uglier when he had hair.
