New Trials in Hair Growth
San Diego biotechnology company Histogen has some promising news for those who are losing their hair. According to the company they have the preliminary results from an early-stage clinical trial that showed its experimental hair regrowth therapy, ReGenica, to have increased new hair growth and the thickness of existing hair in men after 12 weeks.
What is significant about the finding is that thin hair became thicker and this is important because even if the number of hairs cannot be increased, if their thickness of diameter can be increased, that would substantially increase the volume of the hair. Add to this the fact that some patients also exhibited an increase in the actual number of hairs by 15 to 20 %, and you have something that has the potential to be a breakthrough.
This new preparation is made up of a mixture of several proteins that are present in the early-stage embryo and help direct stem cells to become either hair, bone or blood, said Histogen Chief Executive Gail Naughton.
