[hellouser]

LONDON, April 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/

Thorn Medical PLC ("Thorn" or the "Company"), the international healthcare group, today announces the launch of a joint venture company, "Tricogeneca Limited", with IK Clinics Founder and Director Dr Irum Khan, which will provide stem cell treatments for baldness. Capitalising on Thorn Medical's recently acquired Stem Cell Therapy and Research licence in the Bahamas, the company plans to establish its first Tricogeneca Hair Loss treatment centre in the Bahamas, with further centres being established globally.

Jack Kaye, Thorn Medical's CEO said: "We are delighted to establish this joint venture with Dr Khan. She has had great success in using Stem Cells for hair regrowth and we are keen to further promote this amazing breakthrough to make it available internationally, whilst carrying out further on-going development."

Dr Khan said: "Our initial focus has been on treating men, where we've had a 100% success rate and we're now refining our techniques for curing Alopecia in women, which, although still at an early stage, has so far shown similar success."

Dr Khan adds: "In addition to allowing us to provide cures for baldness on a commercial scale using Thorn Medical's Stem Cell licence and treatment facility in the Bahamas, our joint venture will give us access to their state of the art development facility to extend our Stem Cell work in Regenerative Medicine to include inflammatory and autoimmune skin diseases.

Dr Mahmood Bashir, who heads up Thorn Medical's Stem Cell development and treatment efforts, said: "Although current techniques are still in their infancy, with only 10% of the new hair follicles cultured remaining alive, we can culture sufficient quantities in the lab to provide a complete cure for male pattern baldness."

As Mr Kaye sums it up: "With our recent Stem Cell licence in the Bahamas and this new venture, male pattern baldness will soon be a thing of the past!"

This sounds interesting. What's your take on this hellouser?

Taking everything with a grain of salt until its 100% verified.

Aren't the Bahamas known for having very relaxed regulations in regards to health treatments?

Commercially available within 5 years?

don't think so, they are opening a treatment center in the Bahamas... seems they are ready.
weird we haven't heard about this before though.

 

[Bad_Wolve]

they said we had 100% success in treating male pattern baldness? wtf? nobody heard about it, they cant be serious!

 

[Aleksandar]

Sounds like Kerastem approach. Only Kerastem does it with adipose derived stem cells.

 

[Danielst]

sorry for asking twice.
but are they growing follicles for transplant or injecting growth stimulators to the scalp?

Infancy aye? read: 5-10 years away.

I think they mean: "with the current technology with only 10% of the cultured follicles staying alive, and that is enough to cure baldness"..

:O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O

I'm going to pray to every God there is even though I'm agnostic just to help this to work.

Hahaha

I would keep your composure. Who knows if this is legit.

As others have said I think if someone had the cure they'd show tons and tons of pictures showing incredible results. We haven't seen any yet.

Granted they are making some pretty bold statements and Thorn seems to be s legit company.

 

[notsobad]

They recently had aproval for their treatments. OMG i hope this is true.

I don't think £340M is that much in the pharma industry.

Holding out hope but only time will tell.
