Replicel Updated Their Shisedo Phase Ii Trial Data Readout Date To Q2 2018 (was H2 2018 Before)

desmond, what happened to you BTW?
you used to be super active and digging out impressive studies and connecting different dots, giving people a lot of hope and a good feeling about future treatments.
now you have gotten lazy and have basically vanished =) what happened to you bro?

Yeah I know. I actually feel bad about it myself. TBH, after I got back from the 2014 Hair congress. I realised medical breakthroughs are very different to the IT advancements our generation is so well accustomed to. Any ground breaking research is significantly hindered by a lot of red tape and ethical dilemmas, needing billion dollar investments and years of clinical trials.

But hey, I'm still very optimistic. We are still on track with what we were predicting back in 2012.

"Team Tokyo (Tsuji Lab) will become available by 2022 and Histogen/Replicel will be out by 2018! "

Well maybe not Histogen but Shiseido saved Replicel.

I'll be more active from now till the congress. Hellouser should definitely be funded. I think he may gather important updates even if they are off the record. I faced the same issues in 2014. Lauster team only spoke about stuff off the record and Cotsarelis was a pain to deal with, but he came through at the end.

So does this mean we fly to japan, get cells removed from our head, fly home, fly back two weeks later, get them injected into our scalp? Then do it all over again in a few months? $$$$$

My understanding of the inner-workings of this treatment is limited but isn't it possible that the slight regrowth the participants are getting is due to the near-dead follicles being protected and thus slowly brought back to life? This would mean the first treatment would pretty much save all the follicles that could be saved and multiple treatments wouldn't necessarily work in that regard? I hope I'm wrong and that multiple treatments really will bring additional regrowth.

It only works on hairs that are in the anagen phase,so you have to go at least twice to reach them all.
