Now That Intercytex is Dead…
Given the recent winding up of Intercytex, what hopes for a future cure or improved prevention treatments? Do you know of any new avenues that are being pursued? Has Intercytex’s research been bought by another company or is it dead in the water?
I found an article (requires free login) about Intercytex’s death. Here’s a quote from the article:
“Shareholders at Manchester-based medical firm Intercytex have approved its plans to sell off its assets and leave the Alternative Investment Market (AIM). The shares will be canceled on January 8 and the company’s name will be changed to Regenerative Medicine Assets.”
Bummer. I don’t know where their research has been sold to or if it will continue elsewhere (it’s not mentioned on their site yet). There is much going on beyond what Intercytex had been doing, so all is not lost. With a potential multi-billion dollar payoff, industry is not giving up on cures for balding.
Actually the thing got picked up by Aderans Research about two years ago and now they’re conducting Phase 2 of the trials.I assume that in about five years we’ll see some more or less finished results since there are seven phases in the study.They’ve got the website and all and so far it looks very promising.
