We Absolutely Have To Get Hellouser To Japan

[That Guy]

So then you're saying with DUPA patients, although they have thinning all over, will still have enough terminal hairs to achieve a full head of hair. DUPA would have to wait awhile then before they could even be treated since you have no idea what hairs will thin out.

Pretty much

guys, i'm jobless and broke. when i get a job, hopefully soon, i pledge to donate $50.

i'd love a comprehensive report on where we stand, and am willing to put down money to make that happen.... I'm beginning to get worried that there aren't enough funds, though. only $1,500 of the $5000 is raised. come on guys, let's make it happen! we're all in this together (not to mention on the hearsay-forums together), and i'm sure hellouser's report will be supremely helpful (as it was last time).

Doesn't Tsuji initially only plan on treating a very small number of people?

Plans can change.

Tsuji's projected numbers is probably conservative.

In any case, some of us can afford to fly to Japan and we will.

And Follica will be a lot cheaper.

I'm gonna do everything I can to get that treatment in 2020.

Three things:

1. I've been thinking about Follica a lot lately and it finally sunk in that Cotseralis has DEFINITELY learnt over the years what chemicals to apply to wounded skin to make the cells create follicles instead of skin, and when to apply those chemicals. Keep in mind that Cotseralis is smart and for more than a decade he's been studying the degree of wounding, the chemicals to apply, and the timing to apply those chemicals. Plus Follica is taking the broscience guesswork out of the wounding by having clinicians do the wounding. Follica's gearing up for market rollout.

2. Regarding Tsuji, those guys are solving the final problems even as we speak. They'll roll out in 2020.

3. Regarding Shiseido, we already know that Replicel's technology will arrest hair loss and grow a modest amount of hair. If that's the worse it does it will be a breakthrough because it will give us resuts similar to minoxidil + finasteride without hormonal side effects and without having to use it every day. But Shiseido is a smart company and they're trying to tweak the treatment to get better results so Shiseido's treatment is a wild card. The tweaks that Shiseido is doing are not minor tweaks. They're substantial tweaks.

This is beautiful

Hellouser could you please try to find out about the results of Kerastem's phase 2 trial? The trial started in late September 2016 and test subjects were going to be observed for 12 months. This means the study will be completed next month. They might be able to release some data by Congress time.

I know, I know, I know, all the posters here say Kerastem doesn't work. But I would still like to know what data comes out of the FDA trials.

Dr. Washenik will be there, so I'll see to it that I setup another interview with him.

What the f*** is going on, didn't nameless gave its best to make us not donate?

I never said I don't want Hellouser to go to the Congress. I said I want potential contributors to be fully informed that some posters are trying to ride their backs. I don't think other posters should contribute but it is their decision. In any case, Hellouser will likely be going to the Congress no matter what since Admin indicates he'll try to pay for Hellouser to go to the Conrgess even if nobody else contributes. I don't think Admin should do that but he said he hopes to and there's nothing I can do about it.

I chose cheesecake. Even though I don't eat it. Sending someone on a free trip to Japan isn't gonna get us any closer to a cure guys. Lol. Same with the internet. Just because we have a platform to voice our displeasure about body image, disease, aging etc... doesn't mean we are gonna see quicker solutions to these problems....because we probably never will see them....just live dammit...

Hi guys,how's the funding going. We absolutely gotta get Hellouser to go. I might chip in another $50. Is this still happening

It is! Going to be booking the flight soon

I'm going to start reaching out to researchers about a month prior to the congress, I think right now is still too early seeing how we don't know who's attending and who isn't, but then again, 2 months ahead of schedule is enough time for them to forget about me when the time comes.

Questions for Tsuji

1. Could you please give us an update on your timeline for clinical trials and commercialization? It is our understanding that clinical trials are planned to commence in March of 2017 and commercialization is planned in 2020? Is this still the case? Is there a specific month or quarter within 2020 that you're targeting for market release?

^Really want to get an idea of when exactly within 2020 they're aiming for.

2. Many members are interested in traveling to Japan to receive the treatment once it's released. Knowing it will be expensive, people are trying to start saving now and are trying to plan for the future costs they will have to incur. In a 2016 interview, your team was not able to comment on the future cost of the procedure? Would you be able to provide an estimate or range of the cost, even though it may not be exact? (e.g. $35K - $65K)

^I would be prepared to push on this slightly and and emphasize the 'range' in case they say they're not exactly sure.

3. Your team stated in an interview that in the first year of release, about 10,000 people will be treated. There are eager forum members that are determined to make sure they receive a spot to be treated in the first year. Is there anything they can do to ensure they secure a spot?

4. Does your team foresee being able to replicate the density of that of a normal non-balding human in a single injection session? (~200 hairs per cm2)

5. How large is the graft to be taken from the back of the head?

Hellouser, could you also ask Tsuji if it's possible that some components of the timeline might move faster than originally planned for, and if that might speed up the time to get to market.

For example, right now Tsuji is testing human cells to see if he can get his expansion method to work in human cells. It's not a formal study. It's probably just some small basic study just to do the expansion and then test the cells for inductivity. Later they would test the process by injecting the cells into human scalps. Anyway, Tsuji has probably allowed 6 months to a year to do this small human cell testing because he probably figures he'll have to make repeated attempts and maybe make changes as he goes along. But what if the test quickly goes smoothly and he ends up only needing a couple months to get the desired result? That could save 6 months or so. So this is the kind of thing I'm interested in. My question is whether it's possible that the time to get to market could be shortened if some parts of the timeline process turn out to be less time consuming than first anticipated?

I think you had a question for Follica... can you remind me what it was?

Hold on a sec is Tsuji going to be there or a represe tative from his team?

Question for Tsuji and Shiseido:
Will foreigners have access to these treatments once they are launched in Japan?
