Ladies and gentlemen,

Doctor Cotsarelis is an owner of some New patents related to Hair Loss.

I've already posted here, on an another thread, 2 of them, but I found 3 another ones.

Here we go :)

1. Minoxidil for generating new hair follicles and treating baldness
Publication date: 2 Dec 2015
Filing date: 28 Mar 2006

Source: www.google.com/patents/EP2949328A1?cl=en&hair loss=fr

ABSTRACT
Use of minoxidil for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition for treating a subject to generate a hair follicle and/or to increase the size of a hair follicle in a scalp, eyebrow or scarred region. The treating comprises disrupting an epidermis of the scalp, eyebrow or scarred region, and contacting it with the pharmaceutical composition. The subject may have androgenetic alopecia (Androgenetic Alopecia).
A non-therapeutic method for generating a hair follicle and/or increasing the size of a hair follicle in a scalp, eyebrow or scarred region of a subject. The method comprises disrupting an epidermis of the scalp, eyebrow or scarred region, and contacting it with minoxidil. The subject may have male pattern baldness or female pattern baldness
.

(...) Follicular neogenesis is defined as the generation of new hair follicles (HF) after birth. Humans are born with a full complement of HF, which can change in size and growth characteristics as in early baldness or can ultimately degenerate and disappear as in late stages of baldness or in permanent scarring (cicatricial) alopecias. Therefore, the generation of new HF is desirable in the treatment of common baldness as well as less common hair loss conditions, such as discoid lupus erythematosis, congenital hypotrichosis, lichen planopilaris and other scarring alopecias.

2. Shh signaling pathway stimulating agents for treating hair loss (FGF9 !! )
Publication date: 22 Mar 2017
Filing date: 11 Nov 2009

Source: www.google.com/patents/EP3144034A1?cl=en&hair loss=fr

ABSTRACT:
A composition for use in treating hair loss in a subject, wherein the composition comprises an agent that stimulates one or more members of the SHH signaling pathway, and a non-therapeutic method for treating hair loss in a subject, the method comprising administering a composition comprising an agent that stimulates one or more members of the SHH signaling pathway to the subject. The agent may be a glioma-associated oncogene homolog 1 (GLI1) polypeptide, a glioma-associated oncogene homolog 2 (GLI2) polypeptide, a biologically active fragment thereof, or a homolog thereof.

  • The invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treating hair loss and regenerating hair follicles. Specifically, the invention relates to fibroblast growth factor-9 polypeptides and administering a fibroblast growth factor-9 polypeptide for treating hair loss or regenerating hair follicles.
  • [0028]
    The present invention provides methods of treating hair loss, treating, inhibiting, or suppressing a degenerative skin disorder, and treating androgenetic alopecia (Androgenetic Alopecia) in a subject and generating new hair follicles (HF) and increasing the size of existing HF, comprising epidermal disruption or administration of wnt, and administration of a fibroblast growth factor-9 polypeptide or another compound that upregulates sonic hedgehog gene signaling.

  • FGF9
  • [0059]
    In one embodiment, the methods of the present invention comprise the step of administering a composition comprising a fibroblast growth factor-9 polypeptide, alone or in composition with one or more additional compounds. In one embodiment, FGF9 refers to Fgf-9, FGF-9, Fibroblast growth factor 9, GAF, glia activating factor, Glia-activating factor precursor, or HBGF-9. In one embodiment, the FGF9 protein of the methods of the present invention has the sequence:
  • administration of recombinant human FGF9 increased levels of sonic hedgehog (SHH) gene expression
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Methods and compositions for inhibiting or reducing hair loss (PGD2 !)
Publication date: 7 Jun 2017
Filing date: 15 Jun 2007

Source: www.google.com/patents/EP3175856A1?cl=en&hair loss=fr

ABSTRACT
A non-therapeutic method of treating baldness in the scalp of a subject, the method comprising administering a prostaglandin D2 receptor (DP receptor) antagonist to the subject. The antagonist may be a prostaglandin D2 receptor 2 (DP2 receptor) antagonist.


  • EXAMPLE 7: HAIRED SCALP CONTAINS A POPULATION OF CD200 HIGH ALPHA-6 INTEGRIN HIGH CELLS THAT ARE LACKING IN BALD SCALP
  • [0500]
    Haired and bald scalp samples from 5 Androgenetic Alopecia patients were subjected to staining and FACS for alpha-6 integrin and CD200. In each case, haired and bald samples from the same patient were compared. A population of alpha-6 integrinhigh CD200high cells was found to be present in the haired but not bald samples (Figure 9). These findings demonstrate the existence of a stem cell population that can be transplanted to generate new HF and treat baldness. Further, these findings demonstrate that administration of CD200 and analogues thereof can be used to treat baldness.

4. Topical Aza-dC treatment on wound healing enhanced hair follicle regeneration.
Aza-dC treatment at all doses tested greatly enhanced hair follicle (HF) neogenesis


Publication date: 27 juil. 2017
Filing date: 21 juil. 2015

Source: www.google.com/patents/US20170209475?hair loss=fr&cl=en

TITLE : 5-aza-2'- deoxycytidine and methods of use thereof for promoting wound healing and regeneration

FIG. 4. Topical Aza-dC treatment enhanced hair follicle regeneration in healed wounds. (A) 10 μL of Aza-dC (dissolved in DMSO) was applied topically to the wound site, once a day, for 2 consecutive days at the time of scab detachment (SD0 & SD1). Aza-dC treatment at all doses tested greatly enhanced hair follicle (HF) neogenesis compared to the vehicle control, with the strongest enhancement seen with the highest tested dose (10 μg). (A) 10 μL of Aza-dC (dissolved in DMSO) was applied topically to the wound site, once a day, for 5 consecutive days at the time of scab detachment (SD0 to SD1). While the two lower doses (1 & 5 μg) showed little effect on the regeneration, the highest dose (10 μg) still enhanced hair follicle regeneration.

  • Early Topical Treatment of DNA Methyl Transferase Inhibitor, Aza-Deoxycytidine (Aza-dC), to the Healing Wound Enhanced Regeneration After Healing
  • [0113]
    To further reduce the toxicity of Aza-dC treatment, the inhibitor was applied locally to the wound sites. Unlike systemic treatment, topical application of Aza-dC exhibited little inhibitory effect on wound-induced hair follicle regeneration. When applied to the wound site immediately following scab detachment for 2 days only, Aza-dC greatly enhanced hair follicle regeneration in healed wounds (from 3 to 8 fold) in a dose-dependent manner. (FIG. 4). Therefore, up-regulation of certain genes, via inhibition of DNA methylation, at the times when hair follicles begin to form plays a critical role in the hair follicle regeneration. This stimulatory effect on regeneration was diminished when the topical treatment was extended to 5 days (from SD0 to SD4), suggesting that the expression levels of some of these genes need to be temporally controlled to support hair follicle formation

Edit: adding the last patent in the first post too

how is it possible these patents were filed so many years ago but only made public recently?
can cotsarelis decide when his patents should be made public, like holding them back?
if he's actively holding them back and only releasing them recently this points to the fact they are really getting rolling with everything they have. getting everything set up for the first treatment soon.

I f*****g knew it...FGF-9. Time for myself to try it out and end this nightmare.

Just as a heads up to everyone, FGF-9 is 23.4 kDa. You will absolutely NEED to dermaroll to get this through your skin. There were some comments in another thread that dermarolling can allow compounds up to 50 kDa to penetrate. Doing so otherwise will be an absolute waste of time.

Of course, they are more advanced than many people here believe.

It's a good question ! :)

I don't know if they are already posted, but there are 2 studies about microneedling.

look at different dates of publication date and filing date in noisette's post. i'm not sure what that means.
i was in belief that once you file a patent (and when it's granted) it is registered and can be viewed by everyone.
so how can there be 10 years between filing and publication?

hmm... patient 3 looks very convincing, although i don't like that fact that the before pics are made with the wet hair look. this is normally scammer tactics, but with patient 3 there is no doubt perfect regrowth.

the thing is, cotsarelis stated already years ago that fgf9 is crucial for the hair forming process after wounding, but he also always made it sound that integrating fgf9 would require intensive studies (say many more years), so the question now is: did they integrate the fgf9 in the new treatment already or is this still a todo for future improvement of the RAIN compounds?

Lets get a FGF9 group buy going on the private forum. Its the key ingredient were missing.

I'm definitely game. Although I do believe FGF-9 was available from other labs in very small amounts, however it's very expensive. Don't quote me on it, but I don't think a lot of it is needed.

Also, anyone got any other info on deoxycytidine? Looks like we've got some more ammunition against this monster... finally. I wanna get started on these experimentals RIGHT AWAY.

Wow this Aza-Deoxycytidine sems like potentially dangerous substance but mostly because it was used orally for blood cancers.
Some serious stuff right there. However I guess it would have application for hair growth after wounding.

EDIT: Honestly it seems to me that wounding (dermarolling) + minoxidil + PRP + FGF9 together could have some serious potential...
All of them are available on the market in one way or another and only need a pivotal trial instead of full clinical testing...

EDIT2: YEAH just checked the first linked patent.
The greatest regrowth was accomplished in group B which had Group B: topical minoxidil (5%) + microneedling with PRP.
They had some solid results.
