ok… i hadn’t read your post properly… so yea… thats probably true.

Wait wait wait - what do you mean?
Does that mean no full head of hair for Iron Man in the comming days??
I always thought that ARI
is working on a “cure” since more than 8 years (besides the fact, that their researchers already brought in years of hair research);
has the best team of hair hair researchers on this planet;
is backed-up with millions of dollars for research & trails;
So where is the hair loss “cure”
Where is the problem??
Where is their so-called “room for ANY improvement” ?
Or did you see some guys walking out of a Bosley clinic with a full head of hair who got a cell-based therapy/procedure?? No?
Or did you see ARI providing any ‘significant’ before/after photos all the years until now? No?
Or did you see in the meanwhile ANY intermediate product from ARI as a result of their first research findings, which at least could represent SOME IMPROVEMENT to hair transplants? No?
In my opinion, ARI perfectly demonstrates, that just to have more researchers as well as money, doesn’t mean that they will be faster, more clever or will succeed at all!
In comparison to just 1 SINGLE MAN (Gho), in my opinion (and this is just a personal opinion) the ARI guys look like little idiots. This is JUST my opinion. And that’s just what I tried to demonstrate in this thread.

AUTOLOGOUS PROGENITOR CELL IMPLANTATION
AS NOVEL THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION FOR
ALOPECIA AREATA
Fawzi, Marwa M.
Dermatology, Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt
Background: Alopecia areata (AA) is a T-cell mediated autoimmune disease
resulting in partial or total nonscarring hair loss. There is no satisfactory
treatment available till this time.
Objective: We tried to navigate a new therapeutic
option using follicular stem cells to treat alopecia areata.
Methods: Eight patients were included. Each underwent scalp biopsy, the biopsy
was cut into small pieces and the lower third of the hair follicle and hair
digested in trypsin-EDTA. Single cell suspension was prepared. The expression
of S100 was used as a marker of follicular stem cells. Cells were suspended
in 1ml sterile saline and injected intradermal in multiple sites of the affected
scalp of included patients.
Results: Degree of response was measured as follows: Excellent response >50%, good<50% -10%, poor<10%, excellent
response was achieved in five patients(62.5%), good response was achieved
in two patients(25%),while one patient (12.5%) who achieved poor response
at the end of 6 months evaluation. One patient developed new lesions at the
end of 6 months follow up period.
Conclusion: This is the first open-label pilot study
demonstrating the feasibility, efficacy and short-term safety of local
follicular stem cell therapy for alopecia areata.

How so?
I don’t think the practical answer to our hair loss problems is ever coming from Dr Gho. And I don’t think any HM operation missing a deadline is very shocking news. Get over it.

Exactly, I really don’t get why you need to constantly take every topic back to Gho Ironman. He’s no closer to bringing a mass marketable option than any of the companies you don’t seem to have much time for.
I like a lot of the research you bring to the board Ironman, but you need to stop with the Gho fetish, he’s not now or ever likely to be the answer to our problems.
It’s really simple, the majority of men can’t afford hair transplants, no amount of reworking of the process and saying we now use a matrix with them is going to change the fact that it’s far too expensive, we need a radical change to a next generation treatment that will be accessible to the majority of people that are being missed by the quite frankly pathetic options available now. At what point do you expect Gho to be able to offer that kind of treatment? you know very well that he won’t, so why do you go on and on about him.
The problems with forums like this is we’re in a kind of bubble, most of the companies and potential treatments we get excited over mean nothing to the general public, they won’t give a damn about whether Gho, Follica, Trichoscience, Aderans or Histogen come out with a treatment, they will only care when real results are being shown on a lot of people for a reasonable price.
