How is there anything wrong with their hair counts?
It's impossible for improvement to be due to hairs going from resting to growing phase, 2 patients had over 19% improvement. No ones hair would improve after 6 months of no treatment if they suffer from Androgenetic Alopecia. I'm pretty sure the shockloss theory was one created on forums, I've never seen replicel state that was the reason some were below baseline at 6 months
I don't know how or "if" their hair counts are wrong - I just know that I don't trust them.
Dr. Aron Gardner said DSCs rapidly lose inductivity in culture. This means that unless Replicel has found a way to solve the inductivity problem their cultured DSCs
should NOT grow hair no matter how much you want them to.
Dr. Gardner worked with Dr. Jahoda on trying to solve the inductivity problem and Dr. Jahoda is still trying to solve the inductivity problem, as are many other researchers. Are you suggesting that Replicel has solved the inducitivity problem and Replcel is keeping that fact a secret? Why would Replicel keep that fact a secret?
I perused their patent and I saw nothing about them employing a special culture technique that preserves inductivity.
If they had some culture technique that preserves inductivity of course they would have made that technique part of their patent so they could protect their exclusive rights to use that technique.
Keep in mind that researchers have been aware of the inductivity problem for a long time but some researchers still foolishly try to bring cellular treatments (for hair loss) to market without first solving the inductivity problem, Adreans and Intercytex for example.
I read somewhere at this site that Replicel said the patents who lost hair did so due to shock loss. Here's a link to an article where Replicel indicates that the subjects who lost hair did so due to the process of the injections, which is similar to blaming
shock loss.

Here is the key quote from the above linked article:
"Mr. Panich went on to say, “A negative measurement from baseline at six months is not unexpected as many hair fibres in the area of injection typically fall out from trauma; not unlike hair transplant surgery."
