    TLDR Significant progress and collaborations in stem cell research and regenerative medicine were made, including advancements in hair growth, cancer therapies, and treatments for neurological disorders.
    In December 2019, significant advancements were made in stem cell research and regenerative medicine, with notable collaborations and studies. Follica reported a 44% improvement in visible hair count in 19 male participants with androgenetic alopecia after 3 months, planning a Phase III study in 2020. Other developments included partnerships like StemoniX and Atomwise targeting Rett syndrome, and Novoheart with Harvard for heart model technologies. Aspen Neuroscience launched to develop cell therapies for Parkinson’s disease, and Jasper Therapeutics evaluated JSP191 in over 80 individuals for safer stem cell transplants. Bristol-Myers Squibb's CAR T-cell therapy showed promise in lymphoma, and collaborations with Bluebird Bio were positive for multiple myeloma. Celularity and Gamida Cell advanced NK cell therapies for cancer. These updates underscored the innovation and collaboration in the field.

      PP405 is discussed as a potential hair growth stimulant, possibly more effective than minoxidil, but not a cure for hair loss. There is skepticism about its ability to regrow "deadzones," and concerns about its impact on those with hair transplants.

      community Update and new paper from Dr tsuji

      in Update  24 upvotes 6 years ago
      Hair follicle regenerative therapy is being developed, with clinical trials planned in Japan, potentially allowing for hair cloning and eliminating the need for treatments like finasteride. If successful, the treatment could be available in Japan by 2025, but widespread access and affordability may take longer.
