Stemson is going to use minipigs in the next stage of their hair cloning research

[werefckd]

Stemson team page is still growing, two fresh additions since last week or so.

I know we are all thirsty for company announcements, however until they refresh their news page again, in the meantime I'm happy to see they are still being able to retain and attract new talent, very strong signal that Stemson is still on track.

Stem cell therapy: San Diego leading the way

I wonder what was said during that presentation that happened in last may. The last time Aleksey participated in a talk was in that youtube interview with Dr. Wolf back in 2020 as far as I know. I expect his presentation had more technical "juice" than Geoff's since he is the chief scientist of the company.

Pinging @froggy7 -- maybe you can do another of your great detective works and somehow find the video that presentation like you did with that other one with Geoff?

The one bald guy in the audience: hmm this looks interesting

They (Stemson) keep hiring but what are they doing? That's what they won't tell us. I don't care if they hire 1000 new scientists, researchers or jugglers. I'd rather they hire those with a background in hair, skin and cell anatomy, who understand what's wrong and have the fixes needed. I really don't know why Geoff has confidence that his new hires are going to accomplish anything. It to me looks like he's buying lottery tickets with his hires, hoping one will hit, but the likelihood is next to zero from what I read in these recent biographies. The company at this rate will probably go bust from overextending their budget. That's what worries me. I hope I'm wrong and that these hires will accomplish something needed to advance us to a cure.

I also think that Stemson is headed for collapse, this is just my private opinion, but they do not have a solution, it is certain, if they discovered something long ago they would boast about it, and so they employ shitty scientists and not world-famous experts, Hamilton smiles smartly and tells , but in my opinion it is only a good face for a bad game, Stemson will share the fate of organ technologies is the last company that can give bald hair, creating a hair that will be good quality, will be resistant to dht and will stay for many years is simply an extremely difficult problem to solve , the kids won't solve it after getting a PhD

They've clearly run into some major difficulties on pigs.

They don't have a machine for pigs (+1 if you get the reference)

no cloning for you NW4s+

I agree their research team is really weak sadly

I am pretty sure that Stemson would also prefer to just hire those people that just understand what is wrong and have the fixes needed. For a novel product like they are developing, those people are just not that easy to come by if at all available.

Hamilton himself admitted, to his honesty, that they would need several years before they can move on to human trials. It is therefore safe to assume they are nowhere near close to a solution. The fact that people are still so onto this is baffling to me.

On the surface, it seems positive that they are hiring. More smart people can see, develop and accomplish more than less. Whether these are the right hires and they are financially stable enough is beyond our knowledge.

It feels like Stemson is having problems in their pig studies.

It feels like Stemson is having problems in their pig studies.

Why do you say that ?

 

[JohnDoe5]

Why do you say that ?

Two things -

1. Awhile ago they said something about continuing pig studies until they can make it work right in pigs. When they said that it sounded like it wasn't working right in pig studies.

2. It seems like it's been in pig studies quite awhile so it seems like if it was going well in pig studies they would be wrapping them up by now and prepping to go into human studies.

I think their treatment may be failing.

 

[HansMetjen]

Not sure what to say...

They're building ML models to actually do the transplanting by means of integrating robotics. A machine will be trained to map natural hair patterns and implant the synthetic scaffolds.

Just found this thread (I don't know how I missed it). I should say, this sounds great. I've recently read about the approaches based on machine learning (though mostly about in art generation) and I was very impressed. But I didn't know ML models will be used to do hair transplanting. I'm sure several years ago most people couldn't even imagine this might have been real.

Epibiotech Prepares For Important Clinical Trial, Pig Study Results & More - Follicle Thought

Epibiotech continues to announce important milestones and progress leading up to a Phase 1 clinical trial for its cell therapy in Androgenetic Alopecia. Innovative Drug Discovery For Hair-Loss Therapy Symposium Earlier this year in June, Epibiotech co-hosted a hair loss research conference in South Korea with...

Epibiotech CEO Jong-Hyuk Sung’s presentation on the progress of his EPI-001 cell therapy was likely the main attraction of the conference. Sung shared that injections of EPI-001, which is composed of human dermal papilla cells, were able to increase hair count by 40% and hair diameter by 30% in pig skin after one month. It is prudent to point out that the increase in hair growth was native pig hair; this is the conclusion we can come up with from the limited information.

So this is just an injection to the scalp?
