@Swoop I respect your thoughts so that's why I want to ask you how confident you are that this treatment could be effective?
I've glanced at Replicel time and time again and Dr. Rolf Hoffman and their data have not convinced me. Them saying it was a small test dose or w.e seems like a bad excuse - they've had over 10 years to work on this.
In the 2015 interview with hellouser, all his answers seemed to lack decisiveness. He said things like "let's see", "we don't know that yet", "repeat procedure a year later/who knows?".
Further on from this, he seemed really pessimistic about cure-like treatments coming any time soon when asked at the recent gathering of hair specialists in Georgia.
Also we mention Lee Buckler a lot but I don't think he knows a lot more than all of us. He communicates well but he is not a Doctor at the end of the day.
The fee Shiseido paid for the Replicel technology was pennies for such a huge company. I think $4 mill. The cynic in me is thinking this was what Replicel were seeking all along, a big money pay-out.
Some might say that Shiseido have built a research facility so they must be serious, well if it didn't pan out they could convert it or perhaps they would continue pursuing hair research.
The bolded part is actually correct. David Hall said his goal was to get big pharma interested. The ideal situation for them was to get bought out by a Pfizer or w/e which would have resulted in a payoff for the founders as well as the opportunity to develop this further.
