This statement appeared a while back in regard to Follica's future Stem Cell endeavour.
It was made by David Steinberg who is a profiled member of Follca featured in the company Bio on their website.

This statement can be refernced

I am with the company. While we have not tested this in humans yet we fully expect that hair will persist. There are multiple reasons for this. First of all, consider hair transplants - while they have other flaws, the hair does indeed persist despite the presence of circulating DHT. In a distinct, but similar way, the Follica treatment changes the microenvironment of the follicles. Further, a single hair cycle lasts several years, and at the very least the new hair should last one full cycle (because of the underlying physiology of the condition). Also, circulating levels of DHT actually drop over a man's life. We have seen numerous clinical reports of patients showing sustained hair cycling when exposed to conditions similar to the treatment Follica is pursuing (in a carefully directed and controlled way).

What do you's think. Can anyone understand how the hairs would be DHT resistant. I wonder how would the follica treatment change the micro-environment of the follicles. Any thoughts????
