Exactly what I mean, it needed fine tuning from then all the way to commercialization. That’s why it’s going to be interesting to see proof of concept on pigs to see what kind of improvements have been made in the appearance of the hair follicles. Mainly because of its close proximity to human skin.
When are we supposedly seeing this proof of concept anyway?
Oh ok honestly I thought the methods were similar for Stemson as well. But apparently they create a folliculogenic cell from scratch.
That’s the million dollar question that only Alexey and his team would know. But gene knockout does sound extremely pricey.
Well you would only need to do it once, and then clone that cell over and over.
You will literally never be able to grow (perfect) hair. I wouldn't like to do the procedure just for a little grown out buzz cut lol.
We're talking about cloned hairs that have to be individually implanted by a surgeon, not a topical. It's not going to be cheap or easy to apply.
It wouldn’t be months, more like years
I think we should consider that others products probably will be in the market to treat hair loss too. Like GT20029 or Breezula.
I'm sure the Stemson team wouldn't try and commercialize this product and spend millions on something they don't believe is going to be favourable for androgenetic alopecia. Hamilton said himself the number one goal are people who suffer from androgenetic alopecia, why? Because they make up the majority out of all the hair loss groups, hence where the bulk of the market is. The primary market is not for burn victims, cancer patients or Alopeica Areata. Even combined they don't compare to the numbers of those with Alopecia. Don't worry about whether or not this will work on Alopeica patients, let's see how it works on the skin model of a pig and then worry about how long the procedure needs repeating. Think of this as in "infinite hair transplant, but with potentially better hair follicles", are hair transplants designed for Alopecia? Of course.
No idea what you're tying to say
He is basically asking if this method is legit and effective and if the result will last for many years to come -> a one-time procedure.
Lol ah I see, if Stemson offer free top ups then I wouldn’t be worried about maintenance. Or if they’re incredibly cheaper. But I do feel like the hair that continues to fall (the native ones) you’ll need top ups for those areas.
Was drunk, tried hard to type that correctly, my bad!
Would that third product involve surgery, or would it be taken orally/topically? Just to be real, I’m poor as f***. So I worry about any realistic probability that I could even afford some $2000 surgery, let alone anything significant
This is still a few years away, but it's moving in the right direction. You can still save up as much as you possibly can and go from there.
