I thought lithium gluconate was use to prolong growth factor release like it's used in PRP. The EGFR inhibitor might not as expected? Correct me but I thought they have a time period to prevent signals for skin to grow.I'm a little surprised they have a to-market strategy. Their Phase 2 trial was admitted to be a failure with Lithium Gluconate being ineffective. If minoxidil is the topical, I'm really skeptical here. (It could be PGE2 aka dinoprostone)

I don't have a lot of faith in one HM company's mediocre treatment turning another HM company's mediocre follicles into the real thing.
As for Follica producing stray follicles, IIRC their past experimentation produced consistently dense coverage despite the weak follicles.
I do think their science is pretty all-or-nothing. But if the company is not behaving like they have achieved "all" then it's more likely they are still at the "nothing" stage.
Sorry, nothing handy. It was all years ago.
I recall they had found a good repeatable effect. But the results were only "follicles" in the scientific sense. In the practical sense they weren't developed enough to be of any use.
If they have anything that is worth commercializing (from our POV) now, then it would have to be a more recent development.
I have some hope for this. I've seen some people go from NW5 to NW2.
Does anyone know when trials start considering they just released this updated site? Maybe early 2017? Can we get the admin to get us an interviewer and participate in the trial?
Maybe I'm asking for too much but I'm desperate
No doxy doesn't work. Those mice specifically responded to doxy. Pge2 upregulates FGF however.
The idea is to find a way to create a ghetto protocol for this follica cure. Dermabrasion + topic. Pge2 is an option, but, is there any others ? For the dermabrasion...what can be used ? Mecanical ? Chemical ?
You stole my idea HelloUser ! What about the topical?
^Im skeptical because they haven't done any work in humans since 2011, everything has been on animal models, and as we know mice always grow hair.
How do you Know they haven't done any work on humans since 2011 ?
They are very secretive, and we know something new when a patent will be published / or on a press release (puretech health).
Follica plans to initiate a registration study in the second half of 2016 or in the first half of 2017 => this is a work on humans and not mices. And If the data are favourable, Follica would potentially plan to seek FDA clearance in 2017, with commercial release to follow as soon as 2018 or later 2018.
