no, not at all. recently things are looking worse. follica is in the $hiter and trichoscience is still in phase 1. the only companys making headway r aderans and histrogen. histrogen is having fincall trouble. noone is zooming along at a fast pace right now. Boondock, is right we are almost certainly looking at a decade or longer. things seem so dead now its like a ghost town in the hm world. hope is all we have.
Will HM become a relaity before 2012?

I think it's pretty pointless keeping the hope alive for pragmatic reasons. If you're not expecting it and it comes out in your lifetime, then your just that bit better off. But if you spend your years waiting for something to arrive and it doesn't, you're OK.

i think histogen is overly hyped, the only thing that gives HSC
will HM be a reality before 2012, well no but before 2014 maybe,
i mean ICX is still a sell able asset for one thing and i don't know if the trials would have to be rest or not but if anyone buys the company then they could do phase 3 trials which take about a year and a bit and it's sorted, HM
ARI are keeping their cards close to their chest in terms or news but their phase 2 trial started april 2009 so in a few months we should have results from that but they are backed by the biggest wig maker in the world and a large American hair transplant company so as long as you get bosley to do your hair transplants and get adreans wigs then they'll be fine financially
histogen isn't even a cure for male pattern baldness it's merely regenerates hair that has gone so it can reproduce hair that has dyed before
it's not a cure just a really good treatment, but after i just read a theory stateing that people over 30 can potentially live to 1000 makes the idea of treating male pattern baldness a little inadequate

they have hired new staff, not a move for a company in the shitter
Sorry, it's true that isn't a fact but what I have been coming to believe since we haven't had a REALL update from them since 2009. Even then there was no real information about whether they were making progress or not. Also I guess I was thinking about Cotsarelis 3-4 year prediction. I don't know how to say it but its like a gut feeling Follica is running into trouble. I guess it's that they haven't even mentioned any success that has worked once yet in humans. It's like they were ranting and raving for a while about how this was going to happen and fast now they don't even want to talk to the public (in a way that gives them any info). God, I hope I'm wrong but F*CK something really doesn't add up to me. I especially wanted Follica to be the one since there process seemed to be the most sound of all simple and easy. Personally, I guess all I can say is I think there is something wrong there but I'm not saying it wont work. Just will the fact that they are moving so slow mean I wont be able to get my life back in time.

im not trying to argue with you but i do think your wrong. i mean what im trying to say is that the most CRUCIAL question is truly when will it be available and will it be within a reasonable amount of time. since you do believe it will be soon then i guess your question makes sense. i on the other hand do not think so then everything else is completely irrelevant unless we know its coming. if its not coming then knowing if it will be accessible (which i personally don't think will be a problem) would be utterly pointless.
the whole thing just makes you want to SCREAM though doesn't it?
PLEASE GOD GIVE US THIS ONE THING!
or cry like a little b*tch.... hey, im not afraid to admit it :-(

Just knowing it's an option will dramaticaly alter the idea of going bald. Like if you start receding at 20 or younger you can think well it's ok because I can always get it sorted in a few years if it's gets too bad. And evertime you see a bald or badling guy you will think, well that's not such a big thing because with a bit of money he can have hair if he wants.
Women will be able to look at bald guys and think about what they will look like with hair for their wddding day and not worry about their kids being premature slap heads.
And then baldness will just be an affliction of the poor or a sign that a guy truly doesn't give a f*** about it. Or, imgine this, it becomes fashionable in some twisted way.
All positive except the poor thing. But I think there could be a "Hair for the Homeless" goverment program set up.
It terms of timelines. We don't have a secure base yet to predict from so all predictions are pure guess work. It might take 50, 100, 200 years. Seems unlikley, I know, but at the other end of the spectrum someone might find a way to do it tommorow with existing technologies that doesn't need FDA apporval.
The way I look at it every failure is a step closer. It's a problem and the more man hours and resources you spend on it the higher the chance of success.
"If you want to increase your success rate, double your failure rate".
