I understand things take time and I'm not saying they will never deliver. I'm simply saying that nothing of substance has been seen from Histogen in over a year.

Lack of updates simply signals to me that they have made very little progress.

I assume that since histogen has presented already(5/27)and there has been no news, it must mean they had nothing of any significance to present?

I'm looking at the video interivew with Gail Naughton its on bald truth.com. She said phase II in Asia summer 2010. It really makes no difference I'm sure they are wanting the cure as badly as anyone. I just think thier timelines have little merit.

I'm just basing this on my opinion and by looking a previous companies who have tried and failed. I'm not sure what proof others are using when saying that this will be ready in 2 to 3 years other than the promotional line the companies themselves are providing. Once I see full headshots using...

Best Case is 5 years away from anything Histogen has to offer. Aderans maybe 4 years away but there are serious doubts as to the effectiveness of thier product/cloning technique. The same can be said to Histogen's growth formula effectiveness execpt they are is so new that there is nothing to...

Boondock. I gotta know what is the picture of you avatar of? I feel like I've seen it before.

I guess "close" is all relative in the eyes of the beholder. Truthfully, by the time any of this gets to market we will all probably be a lot less concerned with hairloss.

So there is no way a black market for Histogen's magic potion would pop up in the US once they have established thier product in Asia?

I'm not saying the same thing I do believe these companies are closer than in the past. It just seems like 5 years is a long time to go from "we have a product that showed significant results based on this photo however you can't have it for 5 more years". iF they were really that close it...

I'm referring to Aderans and more specifically Histogen. I beleive the lastest data suggest Aderans is shooting for 2013 and Histogen saying 2013 Asia and 2015 US. My question is why? Is it a matter of funding or simply being extra careful to make sure everything is perfect. I would think if...

Yeah I don't think i want to give up minoxidil and just can't justify finasteride. I care about hair but not at the risk of my health.

Unfortunately, I already did the prescreening interview and told them the truth. I would feel bad about lieing, bad karma might come back and kill my hair or something :) Plus I think the main deterent would be the fact that I'm not a high enough norwood. They ask alot a questions about...

I don't think I would qualify based on the fact that I am currently using minoxidil and the fact that I mainly have thinning of the crown instead of a large bald spot. It seems like they want someone who is currently using no treaments and has a nice slick bald spot to test on. I think you have to...

Radiant Research is conducting trials in my area. Question is would you participate in the trials if given the chance? I am assuming I would have to give up Rogaine foam if I particpated and scared of the loss I might incur by going off minoxidil. Also any idea how risky this procedure would be...
