Bill - Seemiller Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 omar77, Welcome to our community. Did this doctor give any details? Name of the protein? How it supposedly works etc? I know there are a number of future medical treatments in the works. Whether or not they will work is another story. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Rahul_39 Posted October 28, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted October 28, 2007 Dr George Cotsarelis and colleagues from the Department of Dermatology, Kligman Laboratories, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, in Philadelphia, US, found that when skin is wounded, the cells of the epidermis take on the properties of stem cells and generate new hair follicles that are capable of growing new shafts of hair. So far the results have only been achieved in mice, but the hope is the same is true of human skin. The above is copy/paste from the site below. <<http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/71178.php>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Rahul_39 Posted October 28, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted October 28, 2007 if i remember properly, there are couple of guys in other hairsite forums who tried this so called homemade follicular neogenesis. This is based on work by costarelis and fuchs, as well as the new startup Folica inc. They did this.... 1) Mix lithium orotate or chloride (1 1/2 crushed pills) with diemythl sulfoxide or DMSO (1 tsp of liquid) and caffeine (2 tsps of powder). Mix thoroughly in a bowl. These topicals appear to increase WNT signalling. 2. Stir powder mixture into na 8 oz solution of 50% water plus 50% ethyl alcohol. This solution should increase absorption by decreasing particle size of powder. After thoroughly mixing pour solution in a spray bottle or dropper. 3. Use a dermaroller or lancet to gently wound the scalp. This creates wounding on the scalp that MAY mimic the wounding necessary to create-stem cell like conditions for new hair growth. 4. Spray solution directly on scalp. Do spraying and wounding several times a week I hope they had few issues as to how deep the wounding should be and use of lithium..

Regular Member Badger Posted May 28, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted May 28, 2008 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 http://www.xconomy.com/2008/01/04/gone-today-hair-tomor...aldness-treatment/2/ David Steinberg 1/4/08 2:12 pm 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????
