that is a very important point. I hope stemson will let us know soon. How long will this initial success last? And will it be the same for everyone? If the success only lasts for 1 year, then it is very sad. When you have a receding hairline again after a year. I hope that the hair does not fall out until 3-5 years.
I tried to analyze yesterday a few interviews of them and Alexey said in one to the Interviewer that it needs to be re-done every 10-15 years, because the hair loss (may) continue. Not sure if he is reffering to the native follicles, which are susceptible to hormones (especially androgens), or the de novo follicles -> the Fortunis guy said that the follicles wouldn't bald again, and would stay most likely permanent, and if this is true then we know to what Dr. Alexey Terskikh was reffering to... (We shouldn't forget that the investor company can make any claim they want) the fact that the native hair continues to fall out (till it reaches the NW7/occipital area), but the new follicles would just then replace every 10-15 years those bald/thinning areas.
If this is true, then thats another breakthrough; achieving the same gene expression of the follicles like the occipital one's have. This would be highly effective for Androgenetic Alopecia.
But it's still up in the horizon, if all this even works on humans, and I can't find any evidence in their papers that they try to make them hormone-insensible.
Another thing I found is, that Antonella Pinto said in the showcase of their tech on a congress in 2019... that they achieved; "some hair to grow out", of the mice. *ONLY SOME*...
I wonder what's the succes rate of the follicles, surviving, cycling and behaving like a healthy one...
If Tsuji's succes rate is translateable to Stemson's method, this would be outrageous.
