TRC-like HM trial by Canadian company

[somone uk]

can you check
http://whois.domaintools.com/trichoscience.com
as per whois domain is owned by keratin dot com
which basically is a crap hairloss website,
trichoscience probably is just a site to get your emails
:sobbing:

they could be selling URLs and serverspace, i mean if you have a crap website and few visitors then you could sell the rest off which you don't need

 

[question7]

They have some accomplished individuals involved in it though. So either these people don't know that their names are being used, or it is legit.

seems to be a new kid on the block but they are only carrying out a phase 1 trial of a hm methord that is supposed to clone the hair follicles in a method similar to TRC but phase 1 has only began so it's too early to say

i just hope unlike intercytex these people have a REAL business model rather than shite

That's great! It's nice to know that there is hope for people with thinning hair.

Their site has been "under construction" since the weekend...
Could be something good or bad.. or just same crap with new site design.

You know who started keratin.com? Kevin McElwee did, when he was still a PhD student. He's one of few people with a PhD in Alopecia Areata.

This is legit, you don't have to worry about that. Now we'll just have to wait and see. Their site is under construction, so they'll probably put up some new information when the new site is ready.

First post \o/

Interesting... I was on that website about a week ago and it was the old site... I wonder if they made some progress?

 

[somone uk]

still under construction
well the website would not exist at all if they lost business, so it's neither a good or bad sign
from the looks of it they are getting a flash site

 

[guy83]

Under construction means the site is on hold right? I mean they still own the domain but they haven't abandoned it yet. Yet, you never know it always sounded too good to be true. My god, all these years and nothing.

When a website goes under construction, 9 times out of 10 the company is basically down the tubes. A company still in busines will put a high priority on things such as a website.

That depends on the company. This is no such company, they are in no way dependent on having a website up at all times, at least not at this stage.

If they allow it to be down at all signals the fact that they are not spending money on a decent web host and server.

:woot: The website is not down, it's under construction. It has nothing to do with servers/hosts (which is basically the same thing by the way).

That says a lot right there.

Actually, it doesn't say anything.

A company thriving will not allow a website to be "unbder construction" for any length of time. They would have backups and alternatives in place to prevent it.

:shakehead: There is a significant difference between a website being down and being under construction. When a site is down that means it won't load. This loads fine.

With that being said, I bet TRC is through.

They very well may be, but it's a funny conclusion to draw based on this.

For once I agree with Dudemon. A website is a firm's public face nowadays. To have a website offline for a long period of time is as bad a sign as seeing a store front's windows boarded up. Even if they have a sign up saying "coming back soon", you know what's going on.

Another kick in the nads for hair multiplication.

 

[Whoop]

I know a firm's website can be very important to the firm's image, but is this true in this case also? Do we really care if they have a website up and running? As long as they're still looking for the right way of practicing hair multiplication, why do they need a website? It's not like they can give us lots of information anyways. I'd rather have them put all their money on their research than on their website.

I'm not saying a firm should not have a website, I think it can't be missed. But the "under construction"-sign does definately not need to have anything related with the state of the firm itself. The website they had was pretty basic, maybe they want a whole new look? I don't know, but I'd definately not view this company as a dead one just because of a website under construction. Btw, there is a big difference between a website being down and under construction. The website is still being hosted and thus isn't down, so it's not like they're saving money on a webhost.

I know these things. I have studied MIS and CIS, some programming, and databases at my university.

- This surprises me. No offense.

Furthermore, a web hosting service is an off-site external web hosting server that a company pays a subscrition to, for hosting the company's website on the net. The better the service, the fewer down days.

A server may be either their own on-site or a server from the web hosting service that they are paying to use.

- Thanks guy, but I know these things.

Either way, in this information age, a website is very important for just about any company nowadays. If they are not even spending enough money to either host their website, or pay a service to host it for them, they must not be doing too well. Usually when a company does this, they are going out of business. Otherwise, they would have paid in advance for the website to remain online, and a "under construction" error should not have happened.

- Well, they obviously are spending enough money on this seeing as their website is still up. It's not an error by the way. It's very much deliberate.

The other thing is, even it the website truly is under construction, it has been already for a month, and that also signals that they are not spending money on important things such as a website developer/designer which is normally very high up on any company's priority list thse days.

- It's been two weeks. Developing a (good) website takes time.

All this speculation makes me yawn :sleep:

[DHR]

sorry to be nitpicky.

But in regards to

have a "new" venture capitalist coming in to fund them in further testing.

..They say HAD a venture capitalist CEO, but are now moving to a "medical/clinical expert. Though I'm not saying that means anything.

 

[Whoop]

Website is up and running again

 

[BitchBoy]

About 10-20 healthy hair follicles are extracted from the back of a patient’s scalp. Certain cells from these follicles are then isolated and replicated in a laboratory through the TrichoScience proprietary hair cell replication procedure. The replicated cells are then injected back into the patient’s bald scalp. Laboratory models have shown that when these types of cells are injected back into the skin; they rejuvenate damaged hair follicles and induce the formation of new hair follicles.

The team is on track to open patient enrolment in Europe on their first-in-human research protocol in the second half of 2010.

Interesting.
