Occipital follicles don't have enough receptors to reach the threshold for triggering a shutdown of Wnt signaling. That's why hair transplants last forever in 90% of people. It's only the unlucky few with DUPA that are screwed.

That's what I was referring to in less specific terminology in my previous post. My question of how they would "choose" what type of follicle they create still stands though, because they said this process is done from a blood sample, not occipital follicle extraction.

So based on this, hair follicles are inherently immune to miniaturization but miniaturized because of androgen receptors? Do you predict Stemson's cloned hair would have sufficient androgen receptors to be susceptible to miniaturization?

I'm not familiar enough with their process to say. Could be.

The guy on here who predicted their collaboration is such a freak lmao, good prediction, you were right!

Was it @werefckd ?

Haha good memory. It's good that they are in collaboration. A reliable and scalable way to amplify and differentiate autologous iPS cells is critical in order for the technology to jump from animals to humans.

I wonder what the people at Stemson do all day. Are they waiting all day now to see if the pigs grow new hair? I think it's a dream job


I hope they take their job seriously. Weekend work and overtime

It's still a small lab though, the last funding was only 7.5m, they might come through but once the path to a working approach is clearer more money will come into development and other, bigger players will join.

Luckily the stem cell field worldwide still receives a lot of funding and all major Universities have stem cell departments. So other labs will do a lot of their work. If it isn't stemson then it will be someone else.

The whole field is just getting their first clinical successes, just look at BlueRock which is valued at 1B..
