"Geoff Hamilton: That is a good question. It is on our mind, and the idea is to generate long lasting, durable hair follicles, and some of the biology behind DHT resistance is not yet known. And so, as we are performing our experiments and biological discoveries, we’re actually collecting donated hair follicles from patients getting hair transplant procedures and those follicles which are extracted from the back of the head are known to be DHT resistant when they are moved to the recipient location of the head, and they have shown to be long lasting and durable. So, we are using those donated hair follicles for several reasons: 1) it helps us establish a benchmark when establishing our hair cells. We ask, ‘what do they look like compared to normal adult hair follicle cells?’ and 2) it gives us a source of material that helps us look deeper into ‘what is DHT resistance?’ and ‘how does that compare to hairs that are not DHT resistant?’ And the strategy for exactly how we’re going to do that is not crystal clear just yet, it is in the plan; we are frankly just a bit more focused at the moment on consistently, reproducibly building a hair follicle. At the second phase we will focus on DHT resistance and the aesthetic value of the hair – subjects like thickness of hair, color and curl. That is the kind of stuff that I would call the second phase of development. "
