Absolutely ridiculous.
Except that we will have multiple treatments in phase 3 trials in 2020 which hasn’t been seen in decades, but sure 2020 is going to be just as empty as 2005 lol

We are pleased to announce that the 2020 RIKEN BDR-CuSTOM Joint Symposium in Kobe “Integrated organoid science: Stem cells, Engineering, Medicine,” will be held on March 4 and 5, 2020 at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) in Kobe, Japan.
The discovery of the self-organization processes in stem cell culture systems has enabled researchers to generate three-dimensional mini-organs or so-called “organoids” in the lab, and has consequently propelled stem cell research into a new dimension, with applications in human developmental biology, drug discovery for rare diseases as well as in vitro analyses of inter-organ connections. Recent improvements in organoid culture technologies have been achieved through interdisciplinary researches between wide-ranging fields including biomaterial engineering and microdevice technologies, in addition to basic stem cell biology. The organoids being generated, however, are still small and immature, and there remains a need to understand the basic principles of the self-organization phenomena as well as develop breakthroughs in culture technology to generate mature functional organs. This symposium will bring together scientists from fields of stem cell biology, engineering, chemistry and information science to share the latest cutting-edge research in organoid biology and its social implementation, and also discuss the future tasks of this research area.
Topics will include:
(1) The principles of self-organization
(2) Modeling development and disease
(3) Engineering approaches
(4) New technologies
(5) Brain organoids (Memorial session for Dr. Yoshiki Sasai)
The program will include both oral and poster sessions. We encourage the submission of abstracts for the poster session from scientists working in various fields to increase opportunities for lively and exciting discussions. Several abstracts will be selected for oral presentations.

i will look forward to get the detailed program this month

I thought you’d left?
I agree somewhat... this still all feels too far away. Maybe not 20 years, but still... there aren’t really any positive signs at all at the moment.

I think honestly there’s more chance of someone finding a miracle drug within the next 10 years, than hair cloning being a thing. Hair is just so surprisingly complex.
Combining the new “upcoming” drugs (Samumed, Breezula, Microneedling & minoxidil) will probably be the best we have for quite a long time. This, plus a hair transplant is what I think will be closest thing to a “cure”.
even with the development of a new drug like a pill or so, it takes +10 years to get it commercialised.
I don't understand how people thinks that things like this come out the next week after a paper is written.
Just look at novo nordisk new rybelsus pill, they completed phase 3 in 2016 and got it FDA approved last year !

True, in the UK/US at least. The treatment in this thread I assume will go through the Japanese “fast track” process, only needing 1 successful trial to be commercialised. This will significantly reduce the time taken to market, however will only be available in Japan.
Still, until we get study results and physical photos of before & after, I just think everyone should hold back their excitement, at least, until proven otherwise.
march 4&5, mark your calendars boys
Calling Tsuji's technology crap clearly tells that you don't know what you are talking about.

He called the conference crap. At least I hope... Because otherwise he must be brain dead.
Is someone in this forum who has an example that a milestone in development of a drug or medical procedure was announced in a conference?
But even if not conferences show progress! Because no one would attend and speak at a conference if they haven't something to tell. But I also don't expect tsuji to talk about a release date or confirm if 2020 is still the plan.
PS: No one with high scientific standards so please don't refer to brotzu.

„Finally, 2020 may be the year science cures a calamity worse than climate change – male pattern baldness.
Late last summer, Dr. Takashi Tsuji told the Financial Times that his team, Organ Technologies in Kobe, had successfully used stem cell to regrow hair. The good news is the treatment could be on the market in Japan this year or next. Bad news — treatments are estimated to cost between $190,000 to $380,000.
In 2020, things look good. Enjoy it.“

Dont think they've got it figured out. Proving me false would be great though.
But human trials haven't been conducted or even announced yet. I'm a believer in Tsuji's technology but I can't find any indications that trials are about to begin, so there must be things they're still working through. It seems that J Hewitt's Smart Hair Transplant will be available much sooner and for a much more reasonable price.
