Who Do You Have Faith In The Future?

Shiseido, Histogen and Organ Tech.

Histogen, for the reasons David stated; Shiseido, because they're in phase II and have a potential means of stopping hairloss; Tsuji, because he easily has the most solid science on his side and his team is the only one growing new follicles with the treatment on track for commercialization.

I don't think Brotzu's lotion will wind up doing anything near the level people are hoping it will and everything else is either a drug or the concept is sketchy at best.



We don't fully understand how many diseases we have cured, or developed effective treatments for, work.

What diseases have we cured that we don't understand? We have treatments for many diseases we don't fully understand, but I can't think of any disease we don't understand that we have a cure for.

I dunno...I think a lot of these things are farther out from general usage than most people seem to think, but maybe that is just me. 10 years ago we had propecia, minoxidil, and hair transplant. Looks a lot like today.

Do any of you have hope in the 3D printing?

Do any of you have hope in the 3D printing?

I'll go first

I don't. L'Oreal has already said it's years away before they can put that into any serious trial and by that time, Organ Tech's method will have gone through testing and probably commercialization. 3D printing a hair follicle and getting it to match the patient's native hair is obviously a lot more complex than Organ Tech and it's important to consider they haven't even shown they can print a follicle yet.

By the time they get anywhere, better things will be out.
