The science of hair follicle cloning — or stem cell treatments for hair loss — is evolving rapidly. Alas, we remain years away from a practical, real-world alternative to current hair transplant techniques, even sophisticated ones that replace hair follicle by follicle. The real goal for most people suffering from hair loss is [...]
New stem cell techniques to clone hair may help hair loss sufferers, a number of scientists claimed this past week. The combination of breakthroughs in stem cell technology and recent discoveries in the genetics of hair loss could result in a major breakthrough in the treatment of hair loss, they said.
In a recent stem cell [...]
A British newspaper reports that losses at Intercytex Group PLC (AIM: ICX), one of the pioneers in the development of hair regrowth technologies, widened by 8 percent to £6.59 million in the six months to June.
The newspaper added that cash reserves at the company have declined by nearly two-thirds to £6.36 million as it spends [...]
A stem cell hair loss and hair growth treatment based on research at the University of Pennsylvania is featured in this segment on MSNBC. It gives a lay overview of Follica’s stem-cell-based hair growth and hair loss treatment technology, including a photo showing full pigmentless regrowth on a mouse. Follica’s co-founder, George Cotsarelis, [...]
The UK-based Intercytex Group, which specializes in regenerative medicine products including hair cloning technologies, recently announced that it has raised $5.5 million (£2.75 million) before expenses through a placing for cash of over 6.5 million new shares.
The new shares, which represent approximately 8.2% of the company’s issued capital prior to the placing, have been placed [...]
Stem cells and dermal papilla cells have been discovered in hair follicles and some researchers predict research on these follicular cells may lead to successes in treating baldness through hair multiplication (HM), also called Hair Cloning.
Hair Cloning is being developed by two independent companies: ARI (Aderans Research Institute, a Japanese owned company in the USA) [...]
Robert Buderi reports that leading stem cell baldness researchers at the new startup Follica have taken in $11 million in new funding — a sure sign that investors believe the new treatments will be viable. Burderi reports:
If only hair could grow as fast as Follica’s pot of money. Just seven months after its $5.5 [...]
