[quote]Jahoda readily admits that he did not use growth factors, but Dr. Nigam does. Jahoda also uses one technique at a time whereas Nigam combines different cellular techniques/cells. Nigam also uses Sonic Hedge Hog and Jahoda has not done that. You don’t know what combining all of this stuff will do. Nobody’s done it except Nigam as far as I know so for you to say that doing so won’t grow hair is really nothing but an assumption on your part. And then there’s the fact that Nigam uses repeat injections.
And then there’s the fact that Aderans studies show some regrowth so Aderans has also grown some hair using cellular treatment and Nigam does everything Aderans plus adds more things into the mix.
Remember that Nigam is using more techniques than Jahoda used. He is using multiple cell techniques at the same time and in repeat injections.

And again, how can he even book a success when he’s got the theory wrong ? Hair does NOT grow by simply injecting stem cells. Nor did anybody but Jahoda succeed at culturing DP cells without losing their follicle inducing ability. Or do you really thing he managed to improve Jahoda’s culturing process to retain gene expression beyond 22% ? Haha. If you believe that you’re even way more delusional than I currently think you are.

The ONLY way to biogenerate hair is to do what Jahoda and Tsuji did: stick epethelial cells to DP cells and that’s it, hair will grow. But nobody succeeded yet at expanding DP cells while retaining more than 22% gene expression. And how do you think dr Nigam managed the angle of the new hairs, LOL. He never even talked about that ! Tsuji used a very smart way of guiding the hairs along some small lines, to get the angle correct and prevent ingrowth of the hair and cyst forming. Do you think Nigam did that too ? LOL.
The only results Nigam got were from switching patients and photoshopping.

I was talking about bio-engineering a follicle. Of course it’s possible to stimulate hairgrowth somewhat with growthfactors. Histogen documented some results. I can’t say for sure that Nigam can’t do the same. All I’m saying that this guy is full of BS. That treatment with injecting stemcells: worthless. Hairdoubling: failed. culturing DP cells: no WAY he even managed to equal what Jahoda did, let alone improve it.
So far he’s shown nothing but BS photo’s. While we found out that he’s been using a pro photographer for a while who shot stellar photo’s, he just never showed them to us.
To me it’s important people understand they should NOT go to this guy based on his lies and deceit. Look at what happened to Wesley. When young desperate balding guys see people like you hype Dr Nigam they might take the step. And if they come back with destroyed donor, then that’s on you too.
I don’t mind Nigam experimenting at all. I even welcome it. But when he sells therapies for big money which don’t even work (stem cell treatment, hair doubling etc, sometimes charging over $10.000) and lures potentials patients with lies and deceit, then he’s nothing but an ordinary charlatan for whom I have zero respect.
Anyway I’m getting bored discussing Nigam. Let’s focus on the real researchers with real results, following scientific methodologies and documenting their progress accordingly. So much great progress made by those guys recently and all this forum has been about the last year was Nigam, Nigam and Nigam and pretty much every single thread turns into a Nigam debate.
