Assuming a head width of 1.5 cm and a diameter of 2.0 cm, giving a circumference of 6.3, the total area of a full roll would be 9.45 cm squared. So you would get 20.3 wounds per cm squared on each roll, requiring 80 passes to achieve 1600 wounds per cm squared. On a 540 pin this would reduce...

So they now have a method of developing hair follicle germs that is twice as effective and can scale beyond 5000. Those videos of the automated, large scale preparation are pretty interesting.

Does it say how they rolled? Depth and to what extent etc...

Have you literally just pulled this out of your arse?

This study was "funded by a research grant from the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery". Make of that what you will. Also, just taking the data we have, say only 1% or even 0.5% of guys get side effects, so 99% or 99.5% of guys are clear, that still means for every 100/200 guys a...

Anyone have ideas what the ramifications are of this to our "current" cell based techniques? https://newatlas.com/crispr-stem-cells-universal-immune-system/58527/

How could you have that much regrowth in 12 days? It just doesn't seem possible...

I said this months a go, but I still think the mindset of "the harder you roll, the better the results" is only one possible modality. I think for people not getting results, or find it too hard to butcher their scalp every week or two you should try lighter rolling, possibly twice or three...

Given that a human hair is about 80um wide, can someone explain to me how the TAHW has a between 521.1um and 762.5um change from mean compared to vehicle? I'm assuming they don't mean it's making hair 10 times thicker than normal..

It's about the data. Nothing matters but cold, hard data.

Dogma's problem here is he keeps comparing the new regulation to the traditional 3 stage trial. So when it's said "safety and likely efficiency" needs to be proved he smuggles in a (aka phase I and II). But that's not what the regulations say, and it looks like that's not how it's been done...

Releasing results? What are you on about? The human trials, to the best of our knowledge, are scheduled to begin this month. So for the first time in human history someone will have brand new hair growing on their head. This, in of itself, is an absolute monumental achievement and milestone. I...

I read all the Bryan vs Foote debates in the archives and they're pretty educational. Both of these guys understanding of Androgenetic Alopecia was light years beyond your average forum dweller these days. What I found interesting is that Foote always seemed to have an answer for Bryan, and his theory really does...

I think you guys are losing sight of the fact that in a matter of weeks, for first time in the history of humanity, a human is going to have completely new hair growing on their head.

Direct from Kyocera's website. "Kyocera, RIKEN and Organ Technologies plan to establish cell culture and transplant technologies and develop devices for transplantation, aiming to put the technologies into practical use for the treatment of human alopecia in 2020 in Japan."...
