Yes Beard Hair Culturing should be possible for those who have nothing in terms of head hair.

New article, "Are cloned animals born old?"

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/36824899#

"Prof Sinclair said: "We focused on three co-morbidities: cardiovascular disease, diabetes and osteoarthritis - the three co-morbidities most associated with aging. Were these animals any different from the wider population of sheep with regard to these particular co-morbidities."

The results of the study, which could have profound implications for the future of cloning, will be published next week. But for now, the dollies, which are approaching their ninth and tenth birthdays, seem to be in rude health."

I finally got round to reading the entirety of this thread and most of my anxiety associated with hair loss has just faded as it seems a cure or a "solution" is on the horizon. We can all just hope for 2020 release though (which I am a little skeptical of aswell but I have high hopes)

F*UCK YEAH HUMANS!!

Cost is what I fear with this now. I understand it's a new technology somewhat but if they want to make money they need to make it accessible to more people. Not just the bald elites 1%

Please be $10,000 or less..

I think $10,000 is the most it will cost. They should have no shortage of clinics lining up to perform the procedure, and it's a lot less involved than plastic surgery. I don't really see any reason why it should cost more than a nose job.

It would be great if someone can somehow manage an interview with Dr Tsuji.
This is the first time i have real hope after intercytex rolled over. The science is real, the scientists behind it are world class and they have a huge financial backer. This is real!!

And Thank God for no FDA

i wouldn't get too pumped up yet, we dont even know if theyve figured out how to culture epithelial cells. Or how long it will take to do that

E-mail from Riken;

Thank you for your interest in the research carried out at the RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology (CDB).

The news you may have read is likely regarding the recent press release made on the joint research between Kyocera Corporation, RIKEN CDB’s Laboratory for Organ Regeneration, and Organ Technologies Inc. in regenerative medicine aimed at developing technologies and products for treating alopecia through the regeneration of hair follicles.

The agreement has just been reached between the above parties and research will begin shortly. As this is still very early stages of research, there are currently no confirmed plans for when clinical research or trials may take place. While the parties have set a goal for 2020 for developing technologies for treating alopecia, this is only a goal and not a guarantee that it will be in the market by then.

Details of the proposed research can be found from the link below.

If and when the research reaches the clinical stage, there will likely be another press release at that time.

We appreciate your understanding of the present situation.

Sincerely,
Developmental Biology Planning Office (Research Communications)
RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology

They said "VERY early stages of research" and "developing technology" which gives me the impression there is still a lot of ground to cover. Its not a matter of tweeking a few things then. It could take decades to figure out how to culture the cells; i wouldn't hold your breath people.

 

[Ken1983]

Should they even be talking about trials at such an early stage? it gives people the wrong impression, because we know the science behind this company is sold, so it's unlikely the trials would fail.

Guaranteed there is a lot they know that we don't.

we're over speculating here.
Agree with @hellouser: there is so much we don't know.
For sure one thing: no way the time span is decades; that's ok for basic research, but here it's about business agreements. And a business plan doesn't go too far beyond 5 yrs.
If it's decades, it won't happen, and they will look into something else.

Yup, these guys want a return on their investments as fast as possible. If it'd be possible, they'd be selling the treatment to consumers YESTERDAY.

Money is a powerful force, only thing that comes close is a fictional sky wizard (religion).

hope to replicate beard

Sounds like marketspeak to me. Nobody makes decade long partnerships with the private sector.

Money today is worth more than money tomorrow. Finance 101

Agreed, reading way too much into standard responses that are meant to keep expectations low, which I don't blame them for doing.

Also from the audio recording hellouser made last hair congress...

Dr. Tsuji;

Recently we examined bioengineered human hair follicle, reconstituted by the follicle stem cells, isolated from the back of head from alopecia patient. After the reconstitution of bioengineered germ, as the germ was transplanted into nude mice. After 48 days transplantation the bioengineered human hair shaft erupted from skin and the histology structure clearly demonstrated human hair follicle. We are now trying to establish human hair follicle regeneration system. In human regeneration system , hair follicle of the back of head will be isolated from alopecia patient in clinic and then the stem cells will be cultured and manipulated by our...? The bioengineered follicle germ will be packaged and sended to clinic and then transplanted to original alopecia patient. We would like to realize this legal study of human hair regeneration study 2020.
If we will realize this system new hair research field will be the frontier of the next generation of organ regeneration research among all medical field.

Personally I believe this will be the holy grail.

So from Swoop's emails it looks like they are using 2020 as the date they aim to have treatment available not the date they aim to start clinical trials. They are probably being too optimistic but it is a good sign.
