Maher, That's the problem with injecting growth factors; once they are in the body, it is very difficult for them to make "good" things grow without also making "bad" things grow. For example, they may support DP cell growth and proliferation, but they could also support growth and...

Agreed. Increased PGE2, and upregulation of Bcl/BAX and ERK/Akt make much more sense, in my mind, that vasodilitation. Especially the PGE2, because compression and dilation of blood vessels has been proven to release prostaglandins.

Very interesting to see a company taking advantage of Japan's awesome new stem cell laws. I'm sure others will follow suit. I have a few questions/issues, however - and maybe you can clarify Hellhouser: 1. It's interesting that Gail says "the strategy to do ..." opposed to "we are doing our...

Ben, Nothing yet.

I think you would see major issues/obvious signs that cells were becoming resistant to cortisol. Take the above example you mentioned: In type II diabetes mellitus (DM II), continually elevated levels of blood glucose lead to subsequently elevated levels of blood insulin, and an eventually...

Interesting. I've seen MPA used in lupus (SLE) patients, but never in any form of alopecia.

$30,000?? Wow, that seems very excessive. Did Histogen share any decent updates at the Mesa conference?

I'm wondering what the vehicle is actually made of - i.e. is it protein base? Lipid? Etc. It's also interesting that CB-03-01 wasn't compatible with iontophoresis because it wasn't an ion (i.e. a charged particle), but Des was saying it will work especially well with Versapro because it is a...

Hmm, interesting. It doesn't look like the studies evaluated the size of the follicle/pilosebacous unit compared to the amount of contact it has with the APM. It sounds like the muscle degenerating and being replaced by fat may be a downstream product of the entire Androgenetic Alopecia process (according to the...
