Can you elaborate this more? Thanks!
Stemson is going to use minipigs in the next stage of their hair cloning research

they didnt mention anything in depth but they said they are using a specific type of pluripotent embryonic stem cell (neural crest cell) which gives rise to a handful of derivates like neural and connective tissue. They are not traditionally used for hair follicle formation but they found a way for it to produce hair follicles

they are moving really fast. if thats true and they are working in silence thats respectable too. They don't seem like the type to announce every little small detail. They are really focused on human trials. They have good partners so if they keep proving the tech in lab then they will keep getting funding

I am. I know almost nothing about their tech.

Oh sorry, I thought you qouted me on a different post of mine, where I asked Jan to make his statement more obvious.... lol
Obviously NOT lol.
Well, I mean he's worth what, 150 billion? Pretty easy to see how this could be a 1.5 billion dollar company lol, but yes point taken.
Well perhaps he has more information than us but I'm a bit skeptical because he's not a part of Stemson. It'd mean a lot more coming from Dr. Terskikh or Hamilton. It's also possible he's not really sure what he's saying, especially with regards to cloned hair lasting forever.
That's a good point. If he's stating the truth then that's amazing news for us.
I think I'm just too skeptical of everything at this point.
Nothing Stemson has said that's available to the public (that I know about) confirms this. It could just be speculation on the Fortunis COO's part. But fingers crossed it's true and he has far more information than us.

I think it stays for ever... like our prior hair did, but over time, they get exposed to androgens. Hope you get what I mean :')
So this means every 10-15 years new transplant.
I think you're saying two opposite things. For most people it really comes down to whether the cloned hairs are DHT resistant. They'll either last many decades if so, thin out to vellus hairs within a decade for more aggressive hair loss sufferers if they aren't.

It's the same claim made by every cell therapy company ever. They take cells from the donor area so in theory will have the same gene expression as donor hair.

Sorry I did not express myself really well.
I think that the "new" follicles will just die off as our prior did. They will be "permanent", but over time miniaturize again due to androgens.
I can't seem to find a proof that these follicles would be androgen resistant, when using their tec., as they just take a blood draw, and not the follicle from the back. Dr. Tsuji's method is more interesting when it depends on multiplicating existing (androgen-resistant) follicles.
Tho I can be totally wrong. Can someone break this up? I mean, we still know almost NOTHING lol.

Yeah same, we shouldnt believe on the claims of the COO. Its their job to try to convince and attract many more investors.
It may be that stemson has problems with the cycling of the follicle or idk.
We should wait for more confirmed informations by Stemson Therapeutics.

By the time this is available we'll have plenty more maintenance options available to us. Not concerned about how susceptible these follicles are to miniaturisation as long as they give teenage density back as they say.

If you are willing to even take anti androgens and do these procedures, you will most likely have more hair than a non-hairloss sufferer. Lol
But thats... quite optional.
I'm not an investment banker haha, just a financial analyst.
They can make legitimately whatever claims they want as far as I know, it's just an overview of their investment portfolio and they are not a public company. The claim doesn't even need to be true, he's likely mostly saying the intended use of the underlying technology.

Lol if he was, he'd literally have no time to spend in here ! Trust me.
