I just found this recent bit of news about Intercytex. Although it isn't directly related to hair loss it may still be worth knowing that the main product they were developing has been abandoned and the stock fell over 70% on the news. The article seems to suggest this could mean the company needs to be sold.

Bad news for Intercytex

are you telling me that their marketing machine could not win any new investors in these troubled times and that they couldn't convince the suckers (ones that were already drinking the kool-aid) to not sell their shares. wow that's shocking news! jeez i wonder why???

Obviously in the current economic situation it isn't easy to get investors. For those who don't know Intercytex is one of the main companies researching hair cloning. Because one of their other products will not now be coming to market it has affected investor confidence in the company.

Along the lines Mr GQ suggests I posted this because if investor confidence in Intercytex is damaged it could reduce available funding for their future research into hair cloning. I'm not saying it will, all I know is what the article says. I thought people might be interested, especially because quite a few people on this site have expressed cautious optimism about the research they are doing.

imtb,

don't get my post the wrong way. it is what it is, just a sarcastic statement nothing more than that. back to Intercytex, all they got is a cool/bombastic name i'll give them that much. i read that they are asking new batch of volunteers to sign up through some university or was it follica??? i stopped following the details long time ago. when and IF (swagger style ) any major breakthrough happens, we'll be among the first to know if not the same day trust me. you must be living under a rock to miss that gem IF it happens.

Have they moved the date for when it will be out on the market?
Last time I read about it it was late in year 2010.

fat chance nicotin.

We probably won't see anything for about a decade or so... it's been about ten years since hair cloning was announced and just getting into planning and trials... 2009, there are trials with inconsistent growth patterns and other complications. It's going to take a while. I just hope we get to see it in our lifetime, a real cure for both men and women.

It's so close, yet so far away... kinda depressing really. Pray for a miracle.

I have been following the progress on this company for about a year now, intriguing. But I have the same impression as some of the other posters on this thread. I think they are in for some bumps and may not be the first to the finish line.

Are there other technologies / companies related to hair cloning that people have had their eye on for a while now ?
