Btech Laboratories Uk - Another Cloning Story?

[xetrys]

http://www.btechlaboratories.com/

Btechlaboratories UK LTD develops and commercializes high-tech 3D stem cell technology to generate in vitro hair follicles i.e. hair/scalp skin of humans, which we call Hairoids.

We provide to pharma-, cosmetic companies and research laboratories service of drug screening, preclinical drug testing and toxicity studies against human hair loss conditions’ and produce autologous transplantable hair-follicles for hair-loss treatment in clinics.

Has anybody heard of this? Website looks unprofessional imo. I also noted https://www.braingineering.lu/, carrying the same logo. I suppose only time will tell whether this is legit or not.

You can read Fuji's post here (use Google Translate) http://hairlosscure100.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-183.html

We have obtained patents on various methods for growing human follicles (de novo: de novo), and we will move to clinical trials in the autumn of 2019 We are preparing for it. We possess available prototypes for continuous production to test epilation compounds. We will send explanation materials later by e-mail.

I think their webside does not look unprofessional but kind of empty ^^. But it is good to have another player in the game. (especially another on based in the UK because the UK is like japan Not as strict with stem cell research)

Here a list of companies/persons trying to deliver unlimited donor hair (the order is from my point of view most likely to win the race to least likely):

WHAT RESEARCH IS NEEDED TO MAKE HAIR CLONING A REALITY
There is over 40 years of basic research already to support this concept and the HairClone team have extensive experience in this area. Although more scientific and clinical research is still needed before this concept can be fully developed, we believe that this could be a reality in 2-3 years as many of the steps needed are already known such as:

• Method to remove the follicular units
• Method to cryopreserve hair follicles
• Method to cryobank cells for many years
• Method to micro-dissect out the required cells from the hair follicle
• Method to micro-inject follicle cells back into the scalp
• Monitoring systems to measure hair shaft thickness and hair density

The main questions that research needs to determine are:

• The best markers to use to measure hair follicle inductivity
• The optimum system to expand cells in culture in order to maintain inductivity
• The mechanisms by which re-implanted cells rejuvenate and regenerate hair follicles

But they seem to have problems with funding and now they try a rip of with follicle banking.

They have been very quiet the last years so nobody knows where they are exactly. But I guess still in preclinical.

Quote from an interview on hlc2020 in feb 2017

Dr. Terskikh: As I pointed out earlier – all depends on funding. In principle, we might be able to deliver a product by 2020 given sufficient funding.

I have no idea where they stand right now but the approach sounds interesting.
- btech http://www.btechlaboratories.com/

It would be really nice if the admins of this forum qould set up some interviews with this companies to have a more updated view of things. Or maybe some members with mad research skills qould dig something up?

But that so many companies are working on haircloning is great for us

Admin seems to have long departed the website, you could ask FL or HLC2020. It seems more like the CSS was wrongly copied from one website to the other.

Here is one more for the list: Fukuda's Lab http://www.folliclethought.com/yokohama-university-cloning-update/

UK regulations could be really good for us. Perhaps that's also why they decided on the location since the main company seems to be in Luxembourg. Apparently their main company provides preclinical testing etc, obviously also beneficial. Wondering when we'll get some plain english article about this company.

Hair loss really sucks.
