I've been severely bald for almost 10 years. I've been duped many times with empty promises. Every time a new company emerges it's the same talk. "Things are different this time." I've been here before. I'm so jaded at this point that I don't believe anything will actually work when it comes to stem cells. It's been talked about for 25 years.
if you actually follow the scientific review and not pop science articles it was kind of semi clear all along that it is nowhere near in the early 2010 or even earlier. like in hindsight we were faaaar off from anything substantial. back then, there was (in comparison to now) no thought what so ever given on how to make a particular approach scaleable for the clinic, how to actually guide the implanted organic with scaffolds, most importantly there was not even an effective method to culture dermal fibroblasts and dermal papilla cells, not in a scaleable, not even in a way where would remain the expression of their signature genes and keep their inductive abilities. that has all changed now. I still think we are far off, there is a recent meta review from Asia from 2021 and they list several remaining key challenges but interestingly enough stemson and fukuda have themselves pointed those out as the major issues to solve so they seem to be well aware with what the next milestones must be.
id argue stemson has worked a lot on problem 1 and 5 and if successful their road over iPSC can deliver a lot of inductive fresh DP cells. 7 is what would be discovered in a clinical study. 2 as well and 6 is their current challenge as I understood this is why they developed scaffolds etc.
The paper have more than 2 years,....
so which of the major challenges they point out in the end of their paper has been solved since then? I know fukuda and stemson are working on some of those critical tasks but others still remain open. although to be fair, before 2015 nobody even seriously worked on this topic at all so I wouldn't be surprised to see much more accelerated progress when 2-3 research groups actually try to work on very specific things at this point in time. the reason why hair loss research hasn't progressed in 10 years is not because it is such a hard issue its because nobody did anything
One cope dies (kintor) just for another one (stemson) to take its place.
page under maintenance?
This remind me Organ technologies situation
It is a waste of time , maybe few more hair, that is all, for bald people its game over
Have you looked in to Pelage's drug, or just posting this without checking?
