Snippet from the press release: Read the rest — Histogen’s Composition for Hair Growth Receives US Patent
At the ISHRS meeting last month, there was a great focus that the cure for hair loss will come from mechanisms that awaken the stem cells that are already in the head of balding people. Prostaglandin D2 seems to prevent hair growth, while other prostaglandins compete with it to control the growth. If a drug […]
That is a lengthy audio interview (35 minutes) about the Histogen HSC. I do like what I am hearing… or rather, I want to believe what I am hearing, but the science needs to be presented. Without good science, we have no real understanding of what is happening.
Sounds interesting. It was published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, which is a peer-reviewed publication that has been around for a little over a decade. As for the study — this looks like it might’ve been a pilot study, and consists of only 26 participants. Clinical application and mainstream treatment remain to be […]
I suppose the downfall could be the same for any new company in this space — financial backing. If the trials don’t go as well as expected, it may be harder to secure additional funds to keep making progress. I’m just speaking in generalities though. I do not follow Histogen’s business or science plans close […]
The new Histogen Hair Stimulating Complex (HSC) results come from a pilot study of 24 people, but I have no idea how many of those were treated with a placebo, how many actually saw results, if the results were sustained over time, if there were adverse reactions, etc, etc. Their site says Histogen will present […]
I did hear one thing about Histogen, and that related to a patent violation. I found this article via Google from a couple months ago that has some interesting news… Histogen was hit with a patent lawsuit last year by SkinMedica, though the article doesn’t say which patents are in possible violation. Following that, their […]
I know nothing more about the Histogen HSC (Hair Stimulating Complex) than you do by watching those videos. I do give credit to Dr. Naughton for appearing in the videos, but I always worry about market hype and speculation in such announcements. I doubt we’ll see it move through the pipeline as quickly as hoped, […]
You can read up on their progress in this article from a couple weeks ago at Biospace.com. Who knows where this will go? I certainly don’t have the answers. I would not wait for the breakthrough based upon where the company is in its research at this time. Maybe in a year we will know […]
Snippet from the press release: Read the full text — Histogen to Present Preliminary Hair Regrowth Clinical Results at Stem Cell Summit This is all quite exciting! Until I see actual data it wouldn’t be professional of me to comment further, though. There’s also an article I just found from yesterday with a photo of […]
Bosley’s parent company Adarans, stopped funding one of the very promising solutions for hair loss a couple of years ago. A few other companies have dropped their hair research efforts. Intercytex seems to have nothing on their website that indicates activity in the hair arena. It does seem that the failures to achieve good hair […]
I often get emails for hair cloning and hair multiplication from people around the world who want to believe: I saw Dr. Gho’s presentation at the ISHRS medical convention and read the journal article. He was doing FUE and I believe that he was splitting the follicular units in the scalp, removing a hair from […]
If you’re seeing a Norwood class 1 or 2, that isn’t really considered balding. It is normal to lose hair daily, as new hair grows in (hair cycling). It is also normal for your hair to appear thinner under bright, direct lighting. All in all, what you’re describing sounds pretty… normal. If you are concerned […]
For a medical student thinking of a specialty to choose, I would not recommend hair transplant surgery. Not because it is not a great field, but mainly because there is no formal hair transplant surgery training or residency that would give you the requisite skills you should have. There is no consistency in the field […]
