A university lecturer in Japan has succeeded in regenerating hair on mice using embryonic stem cells, an achievement that could pave the way for the development of treatments for conditions including hair loss, it has been learned.
Details of the breakthrough, by Mariko Yamaki of Matsumoto Dental University, will be published in the May edition of The Japanese Society for Regenerative Medicine magazine.

The work involved taking skin cells and combining them with mesenchymal stem cells _ multipotent stem cells that develop into various organs of the body -- to regenerate hair. Yamaki said it would be difficult to regenerate hair using only embryonic stem cells.

Yamaki extracted mesenchymal stem cells taken from the teeth of mice embryos and mixed them with mice embryonic stem cells, which form the basis of skin cells. The clumps resulting from the mix were then nurtured.

It was later found that about 40 percent of the 48 clumps had one or two hairs growing from them. When protein, which quickens growth, is added, the hair growth rate increased to about 60 percent, Yamaki said.

Hair growth was observed on all 12 mice that had the clumps implanted on their back muscles.

Hair papilaries, which supply nourishment to the hair, also were found to have formed on the back muscle.

"If embryonic stem cells are combined with mesenchymal stem cells, which perform a number of other functions, a different organ can probably be created," Yamaki said. "The first thing I want to try to do is regenerate hair using human embryonic stem cells."

Doc any thoughts?

If what he said is true, this means that the current stem cell products in the market would have little or no effectiveness, as only embryonic stem cells are used but not mesenchymal stem cells right?

Nothing new to report in the way of progress accept a modest continuation of what I reported last week (see "Results thread) - the only NEW thing I can report on regarding my experience with the HC is that in the last week (week 3 of my treatment), I have got 3 very unsightly pimples on my scalp! I have fair skin and fair hair so when I get a pimple (never had one on my scalp before) thats very red and inflamed, I might as well have a neon sign flashing that says "check out my half bald head everyone!"

sucks - but I guess I have no other choice but to deal with it. So my question is this Doc - is this to do with follicles in regrowth or is it JUST pimples (ie, something in the HC is comedogenic to my scalp)?

When follicles are stimulated so does the sebaceous glands. Often the pores are blocked and this causes pimples. They have pale tips and red around the base. they should not last long. Wash you scalp well and use warm water.

Thanks for quick response Doc!

Definately not b*tching, considering my results (so far) - just want to know the cause to see if there was anything I could do to manage it while I'm still applying treatments. For example - can I apply a simple benzoyl peroxide to them as they pop up (without affecting the HC) or just leave them alone? I put BP on the last one and it seemed to minimize its size/duration greatly.

We continue to see good numbers mainly from overseas. I don't think there is a delivery issues with the HC to make us consider nano ( at this time). Making a daily or weekly HC will be considered after a year since the launch.

hairikrishna · Post by **hairikrishna** » Sun Aug 02, 2009 6:53 am

It is August 2nd, 2009 and still no 'before' picture from Dr. AQ. Where I thought this product would have started showing results at this point I am not so sure anymore. It has been well over 20 weeks since applying the A&G Hair Complex to my scalp. Not certain where to go from here as I was lead to believe that I would have more gains by this time from the scant info provided by the A&G website and this particular forum discussion. As far as I'm concerned, A&G has failed to deliver in 19 weeks and the anticipated results are way overblown at least for me. The suggestion that there are others out there that have truly benefited from using HC is an enigma. Why isn't there any media attention to date if this product really works I ask myself? You think Inside Edition, Extra, the Today Show and other media outlets based in LA and NY would have featured AGHC on their shows if it truly was the cure to male pattern baldness. The fact is folks, no where does it say that AGHC will do anything for male pattern baldness. Not saying the product is a sham but the proof may very well be in the pudding as they say. The A&G website to date has yet to be overhauled although it was stated on record that Dr. AQ was looking to get this done since the product debut many months ago. I'm really disappointed to say this but I'm already to the point where I'm chalking this product up as one of many hair loss products that fail to deliver upon its promises.

It bears no consequence for me to hear that A&G is experiencing good results from their clients using HC overseas. Why aren't we hearing about many of the clients here in the US and Canada and their results using HC since its release? Was the release date for the Hair complex different in Asia different from the US? I'm not interested in people overseas using HC. I'm interested in my own results from using HC and I cannot say without one iota of doubt that my hair is better or worse since I started using the product over 20 weeks ago. I have 10 family members and friends assisting me with hair loss observations since using HC. They are all in agreement in that HC has done nothing beneficial for my hair loss. I'm really disappointed with this unanimous observation.

I'm moving on to PRP by the end of the month.

Brunz19 · Post by **Brunz19** » Sun Aug 02, 2009 12:11 pm

I don't even think the HC has even been on the market for over 20 weeks.... how can you possibly be 'well' over 20 weeks since first application? Hmmmm?

Why? I'm not seeing anything more positive with that anywhere..yet. And do you remember THEIR pictures?

hairikrishna · Post by **hairikrishna** » Sun Aug 02, 2009 9:24 pm

Hell, I'm willing to try anything once at this point hence the reason I bought HC in the first place. As far as PRP having any backing, Dr. Jones from Canada does hair transplants for a living and did PRP to himself so he must believe it works. As far as who to believe on what works and doesn't I tend to side with a hair loss expert that is currently practicing in his field. Leave the research scientist to formulate their potions in their labs and allow for pier reviews among their collegues before a market release. This is the only way to prove what they are selling. Anyhow, several other hair transplant doctors have done PRP to themselves across the world and they are now incorporating this procedure into their practices. If this isn't proof enough that PRP does work to some extent then I guess we're all screwed into believing anything and everything being sold on the open market to cure hair loss. To date, nothing has been proven to continue to grow hair as Propecia and Minoxidol. Transplants are the only other viable solution. Lasers sound good but I only have OMG to reference as far as this methodology and the guy has already had 2 hair transplants to thicken his balding scalp. Can't say for sure if lasers work 100% since their is a profit motive on the part of OMG as with others selling a potion to cure, hault, or reverse baldness. Anytime a profit is to be made to sell a product or procedure there are risks and there is always some healthy degree of skepticism.

"...Can't say for sure if lasers work 100% since their is a profit motive on the part of OMG..."

You're kidding right? OMG posts instructions on how to make your own laser helmet at no charge to you. It's 100% free. And if you are too lazy to do it yourself, he will build one for you at a very minimal cost.

And don't you think it's possible that HT docs are doing PRP to drum up a new line of income? In fact, it's pretty likely.

There is plenty of evidence that lasers help with hairloss. I haven't seen any evidence that PRP does anything but line the pockets of HT docs. I think you have things a bit backwards.

OverMachoGrande · Post by **OverMachoGrande** » Mon Aug 03, 2009 7:20 am

Yeah, no kidding, hairikrishna...

You don't have any historical perspective of what happened with that laser movement, and you're showing it. You should also look into what the pioneers of PRP have said about the effectiveness of PRP as a treatment -not that promising- and the REASON why hair transplant surgeons are beginning to offer it.

Thank you for cheapening everything I've done, though. That just makes me feel fantastic.

-O.M.G.

nidhogge · Post by **nidhogge** » Mon Aug 03, 2009 9:40 am

Krishna--

Depending on scientists for the cure for MPB will leave you bald and helpess. It's not going to happen. Dr. Jones tried PRP on himself, with his results to be expected this August (unless that was another Canadian doctor doing PRP in Toronto). Either way, he said to expect PRP to only maintain your hair if beyond your 20s, and thicken it if within. Lasers, on the other hand, work for everyone.

http://www.overmachogrande.com/pictures ... etics1.jpg

OMG had no profit incentive when he started this whole thing. I'm your proof. *I* was the only one building laser helmets, with OMG publicly stating that he had no desire to build them for people. He would refer people that asked if he could build them to me. However, he wound up getting pressured and came up with a fantastic design. It's very much your mistake if you decide to ignore the plethora of science and anecdotal evidence that demonstrate lasers to be the most effective treatment to date.

hairikrishna · Post by **hairikrishna** » Mon Aug 03, 2009 1:15 pm

Before I ruffle any more feathers here, I too have been using a 330 diode laser helmet 3x a week and continue to do so for 20 min each and every time. I do have historical perspective on lasers and I don't doubt their effectiveness. I have been lasering since Jan 09. I haven't noticed anything different at this point and I'm not saying it is doing something or not. I'm just not extolling its praises as others are. With that said, I felt I have given HC more than enough time to do its thing. I'm already onto the next bigger and better thing. As Dr. AQ stated, HC will not work for everybody. I guess this is his company's disclaimer. If there were any results to be had from using a combination of lasers and HC, I and 10 others are not observing it to any great degree. As upsetting as this is, I will continue to do what I need to to save my hair even if that means going back on the pill (propecia). I have employed a board certified dermatologist to continue to plot any progresses with the laser usage and HC. He is fully aware of my regimen and share in my excitement for lasers and HC. They are skeptical at best but are happy to see my enthusiasm to try new things. Only time will tell. I haven't given up on lasers just so you guys know. I will continue to get excited with OMG's progress as well as others here and on the regrowth website.

You're right, Mr. Krishna... I don't know anything about PRP. It's not like I wasn't one of the first people to have it done and I *definitely* didn't meet Dr. Jones when Greco was showing how to perform the procedure. But you knew all of that because you did your lil' research on the subject, huh?

Afterbirth? Awfully couth of you, sir. For your information, I'm attempting to address fibrotic conditions, manipulating stem cells, delaying premature senescence, fueling mitochondria, removing waxy sebum deposits, increasing intracellular glutathione, restoring microvascular sufficiency, increasing insulin sensitivity, inhibiting DHT, blocking androgen receptor expression, etc.

Hairikrishna said: " I had my friend who helped apply the hair comlex to my scalp and massage for 10 minutes take a look and he was able to confirm regrowth as well".

You had some dude apply AGHC to your head and then massage it in? Haha

chore boy · Post by **chore boy** » Mon Aug 03, 2009 6:33 pm

OMG... dude... bra... I can't quite reach the back of my head. Do you mind applying this here secret serum to my balding areas and massaging it in for no less than 10 minutes while I listen to my new Enya CD? Also, while you're back there, do you mind checking for hair re-growth? Hahaha.

hairikrishna · Post by **hairikrishna** » Mon Aug 03, 2009 7:37 pm

I thought it was a better idea to have another person apply the serum so they too can track the progress along with me. I absolutely see nothing wrong with this as you do choreboy. Pretty infantile to make a crack about it. Perhaps this is why 'boy' proceeds chore in your moniker. I'm sorry you are taking such issue with me choreboy. Must be pretty pathetic for you and whatever so called social life you have to be balding and juvenile simultaneously bra! I have no problem with OMG. I think his laser helmet is ingenious whether or not it is doing anything for my scalp.

Whatever growth I was experiencing from using HC early on has been catalogued and filed away with a digital microscope. I continue to monitor any gains or losses twice a month. I get daily scalp massages before using my laser helmet and on my off days.

chore boy · Post by **chore boy** » Mon Aug 03, 2009 7:54 pm

I take an issue with you because you're a cocky f*ck. Your afterbirth comment reminded me why it is that nobody can stand your ass.

So far HC isn't all its cracked up to be from my own personal experience. Anyhow I've already scheduled my appointment for PRP this month. Hopefully this will buy me some time before Histogen hits the market in 2015.

At this time we've been collecting data from all the users of AGHC and getting their feedback. I know no one here will believe me when I say I am not doing this for profit. I picked this Path (medicine/science) so that I can make a change. I want my name to be remember after I am gone.
So far two options are on the table:
1- producing a monthly AGHC and greatly reduce the price
2- Adjust the formula by adding enhancing substance to improve the GF role in hair growth.

Before the end of this year, we should have a decision made on the AGHC. So far the AGHC is performing good. I will keep you posted with our progress.

DOC?! You are still alive...where ya been? How bout sharing some real Data/Studies/Pics/testimonials and then you might be able to sell us some more stuff..prob not untill then though. Also, How do you account for literally no one seeing results from 1 or 2 treatments? I am one of those who got nothing but a shed from the HC..I might (and thats a big might) have seen something early but I also could have been seeing things as well as something else might have contributed. As of now the HC has made things worse because I do not think I have recovered from the loss while massaging the HC.

So where do we go from here? I don't want to try HC again and I'm out $200.00. The time it took to wait to see if anything would happen was not worth the $200 plus time lost in anticipation for little more than a much more visible bald head. I'm still holding out hope that I will in some fashion have all my hair come back in but I have to be realistic. The 15 week mark has come and gone and I'm no better off than when I first read about HC here in this forum. I really wish things could be different. Maybe wishes can come true doc? Anyway, I'll let you guys know if things turn a corner for me and I begin to regrow my original hair line back as well as cover up whatever shedding experienced from using HC. Best of luck to all of you. Nothing ventured nothing gained. Histogen 2015 can't come soon enough! Thinking about using avodart to tide me over until then.

These are great possibilities maybe the answer is continual usage. Maybe there are other factors we are not counting for, which might explain why some are responding and others are not. One doctor who is using the AGHC in his clinic added something to the formula ( I can't share it her but will tell you through PM) and the results are "fantastic". I did not see the results but I trust him. We are monitoring and collecting data on the HC and I will give you updates on the progress.

Well I'm curious as to what certified 3rd party that would be.
I have yet to see any scientific proof or analysis concerning A&G, I think its time that we see some form of official documentation of the first tests carried out or essentially all we have is unsubstantiated claims, I'm sorry if that comes across as arrogant but rest assured I am not the only one on the net that has their reservations about this product and possibly company.

Granted i haven't tried it myself but I think there is ample of evidence to suggest that this product is not performing as well as initially expected and that is being generous.
Who knows maybe I will just bite the bullet and try it regardless but if I do and it fails don't expect me to sugar coat it and confuse fantasy with reality.

On a side note has anyone visited a trichologist prior to, during and upon completing a full treatment of HC?

hairikrishna · Post by **hairikrishna** » Thu Aug 13, 2009 11:37 am

Hey Fizzball, I started HC when it first came out and I did see a trichologist a few weeks ago. The trichologist did confirm hair thinning which didn't honestly take a genius to figure out to be quite frank. He did notice that hairs were still healthy on the front hairline though. I should preface this message by saying that I purchased a hand held digital microscope about a month ago to keep a close watch on my hairline as well as to photograph and track my progress. HC did appear to stimulate a few and I mean a few vellus hairs into terminal ones. It hasn't brought down or dare I say restore my original hairline so I can't exactly say HC didn't work for me without some doubt. What I can say is that HC has taken more hair from me than it has restored up to this point. Keep in mind I'm already over the 15 week mark as many others here who tried HC at the very beginning. As for the thinning I'm experiencing on top, well any gains will be a ways away from what I can tell. I seemed to have lost more hair on top through the shedding experienced from HC when I initially applied the stuff. I don't know for sure if shedding is necessarily a good thing when it comes to hair regrowth, but if it is then good golly I should get a forest of hair where there isn't now from the HC application. From my experience Minoxidil and Propecia does cause some hair shed before they begin to do their thing. If this is any indication that HC will also do its thing has yet to be seen as far as I'm concerned. The jury is still out on whether or not HC is going to restore my thinning hair. I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending this product to anybody just yet. For all I know I either am not a responder or my response may be delayed. I'm in the middle at this time. If there was any self doubt as to whether I was a NW II or III before HC, I can now say I am a NW III at this point due to the shedding experienced from it. I'm not sugar coating this for anyone.
