Nice find, lots of interesting info there.

I like the fact that Stemson is already working on solving the scaling problems now and has a CTO dedicated to that area, instead of holding that for later in the game and potentially delaying everything even more. Scale means lower cost of production, expanded supply (more reach) and ultimately cheaper prices.

Also, interesting that they basically want to create a "plug and play" solution for hair transplant doctors. As we suspected here, the Stemson treatment for the end user will basically be a hair transplant with unlimited donor supply (without needing to touch any donor area of course).

Their current product concept is a cryopreserved plate with a row of lab-grown hairs on it, which can sit on a surgical tool station. This means the hair follicles are ready to be picked up and transplanted to a pre-determined location on a patient’s head.

weren't they supposed to use a robot to transplant hair follicles?

No, this was an misunderstanding of some people here. When they mention automation they are referring to the process of the creation of the follicles, not the implantation of them

Stemson Therapeutics Secures $15M Series A Funding to Cure Hair Loss

Stemson Therapeutics announced today the closing of a DCVC Bio-led $15 million Series A financing to advance development of Stemson’s proprietary ther
www.businesswire.com

"The Series A financing brings the total funding raised to date to $22.5 million and allows Stemson to further the next stage of research and development of its cell engineering platform, where is it being combined with bioengineered material and robotic delivery as a novel solution for natural hair replacement. Currently, Stemson’s research and development efforts are focused on developing an optimized solution for human skin structure environment in larger animal models. Stemson’s Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC) based technology is capable of producing the cell types required to initiate hair follicle growth and have been successfully tested in small animal models."

That’s a different text, and they don’t mention “robotic transplants” and that’s not even from their website

if you watched their interviews it’s very clear they want to use current hair transplant surgeons to implant the lab grown hairs

It seems very likely Stemson is considering the use of robotics to perform the actual transplantation, "It will involve a multi-disciplinary approach including cellular reprogramming, biomaterial engineering, tissue engineering, machine learning and analysis of biological data, and robotic transplantation solutions."

No they realized that this was impossible for the same reason that Tsuji will cost 100k+. The labor cost/time without robotics would make this procedure more costly then the average person can ever afford. Imagine the time + scalp damage needed to poke holes at the right angles and implant scaffolds to make this look right and have natural density.
