I have covered Japan-based OrganTech (previously known as Organ Technologies) for many years due to the company’s affiliation with Dr. Takashi Tsuji and RIKEN (Japan). I have covered Dr. Tsuji’s work for over a decade now. I regularly update this post with the latest developments on top. Special thanks to “Theo” who e-mails me so many of these updates from Japanese sources.
Update: December 18, 2024
“When one door (Stemson) closes, another one opens.”
OrganTech to Test Hair Multiplication in Humans in 2025
Yesterday, OrganTech (Japan) applied for human testing permission to the Japanese government’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. More specifically, to the ethics committee. For some reason, they spell the company name as Organtec. The blurb in the middle of the below image reads: “Organtec Co., Ltd. Ethics Committee for Academic Research Involving Human Subjects.” Note that it is translated from Japanese.
Update 1: More details here.
Update 2: Affiliated institutions can be seen here. It looks like this must be related to hair, since two of the named companies (Tokyo Memorial Clinic and Sato Beauty Clinic) specialize in treating hair loss.
They previously announced their aim to begin human trials for their hair multiplication technology in 2024. It looks like this will likely happen in 2025, assuming government permission is granted. Per the prior news from December 6 2024, OrganTech’s human clinical trials for the company’s next-generation teeth bioimplant will definitely begin in 2025. So I assume that permission for teeth has already been granted.
Update: December 6, 2024
OrganTech has become a member of the prestigious Japanese Business Federation Keidanren (described as the voice of big business in Japan). The Keidanren website has a page on OrganTech in their December 2024 new member introduction (they call the company “Organtec”).
In the description, they mention that human clinical trials for the company’s next-generation teeth bioimplant will begin this fiscal year. When it comes to hair, OrganTech is described as:
“The first in the world to develop first-generation hair regeneration by transplanting regenerated hair follicle primordia. They have also developed a pipeline that includes second-generation regenerated hair follicle primordia and third-generation regenerated hair follicles. The company will proceed sequentially with clinical development and commercialization.”
In a separate page, they include a message from Dr. Takashi Tsuji and also have two photos of OrganTech’s new laboratory.
Update: October 10, 2024
New CEO Yoshio Shimo
In a surprising turn of events, OrganTech has replaced its young CEO Takashi Kondo with Yoshio Shimo. And they have a new COO named Dr. Yoshitake Yamaguchi. The company did not as yet make any press release about this major change, but long time reader “Theo” let me know via e-mail.
Mr. Shimo was previously the CEO of Hino Motors (Japan), an important subsidiary of Toyota (Japan). Dr. Yamaguchi did make an announcement about his new position on Linkedin three days ago. He has a Phd in Physics and has worked for a range of companies over the past several decades. Often on a part-time basis.
Update: February 23, 2024
More great news. OrganTech (Japan) is entering the South Korean market. Their local partner OrganEcoTech will get exclusive rights to OrganTech’s artificial organ regenerative medicine technology, including hair growth. They also plan to enter the US regenerative medicine sector.
Update: February 20, 2024
OrganTech CEO Takashi Kondo Interview
A new interview with OrganTech CEO Dr. Takashi Kondo. Key quote:
In terms of hair regeneration, the future is just around the corner where people who suffer from thinning hair or alopecia will no longer have to worry about it.
He also says that they can increase the number of hairs from 200 to 20,000 via Dr. Tsuji’s autologous hair multiplication process. Hair and teeth regeneration remain their primary areas of focus. He also mentions the progress in artificial skin regeneration technology and and his desire to see a world without the need for animal testing.
The company currently only has six employees. Five researchers at RIKEN in Kobe; and one (himself, the CEO and person in charge of business and finance) in Tokyo. Per the news below from earlier this month, OrganTech will hire and additional six new scientists by summer.
They are being approached by many pharmaceutical and beauty industry companies for partnership opportunities. Ultimately, this will translate into faster fundraising, ecomomies of scale and a lower final cost of treatment.
Update: February 16, 2024
Reader “Theo” regularly e-mails me very unique info from Asia that I would never have found by myself. I could not get the second link below to translate properly, but I trust what “Theo” said. So I am pasting his words in the below three bullet points with minor grammar changes by me.
As always, Dr. Takashi Tsuji sounds very sincere. In the first link below, read his recollection of the two big tragedies at RIKEN. OrganTech seems very focused and is unlikely to repeat the past fundraising related mistakes from the Tsuji team.
- Dr. Takashi Tsuji gave an interview and presentation to a Tokyo University student group two months ago. They visited his very expensive lab and he explained to them his vision about OrganTech’s future. They got far more funding that they need, from several different companies. Their vision is to make OrganTech an off-shore company for groundbreaking research from different scientists who are looking for funding.
- Dr. Tsuji plans to create a consortium that could be called a “second RIKEN” by establishing companies for each business to socially implement regenerative medicine technology, with OrganTech at its core.
Two Part Interview and Presentation

https://note.com/utdiligent/n/n7fce80d6710f
- OrganTech is hiring 6 new scientists by the end of April 2024. After June, they will move to new offices and a research center in the Harumi neighborhood of Tokyo. It seems like they may start clinical trials around that time for both hair and teeth. Their artificial skin business is also advancing.

Update: June 29, 2023
OrganTech Wins Future Award 2023 for its Organ Regenerative Medicine Technology
Congratulations to Dr. Miho Ogawa of OrganTech for winning Japan’s prestigious “The Economist Future Award 2023“. Per my new Japanese correspondent (old ones were “nosyu” and “Fuji Maru“), this award is sponsored by the “Economist Future Awards 2023 Executive Committee” and supported by the renowned Mainichi Shimbun newspaper agency. There were 225 nominated companies, of whom 15 got awards spread across 5 categories. Dr. Ogawa only became CEO/Director of OrganTech in early 2023.
Make sure to read the detailed interview with Dr. Miho Ogawa that I also posted earlier this month. She started working at Dr. Takashi Tsuji’s lab in 2005 at the Tokyo University of Science when she was a student. Thereafter she joined Organ Technologies, which folded in October 2020 due to fundraising issues that were exacerbated by the Corona crisis.
Now she is back with OrganTech, and I am getting positive vibes yet again for Dr. Tsuji’s hair multiplication work finally reaching fruition. The prior issues with fundraising inexperience and surprise pandemic will surely not be repeated. Japan is home to one of the oldest populations in the world, and also home to one of the fastest clinical trial processes in the world. Especially when it comes to regenerative medicine and anti-aging treatments.
Make sure to keep checking OrganTech’s website for new developments. Per my prior updates, they are aiming to start hair regeneration related human clinical trials in 2024. And they want to offer their hair multiplication treatment in clinics in 2026. I assume they can move this fast due to their past decade of work combined with Japan’s favorable regulations. However, as most readers know, their original goal had been 2020, prior to the earlier mentioned disruptions.
Update: June 1, 2023
Japan: Global Hub for Hair and Tooth Regeneration
An interesting new interview with OrganTech’s confident representative director Dr. Miho Ogawa. It looks like the team is very serious about making Japan the global hub for hair and tooth generation. And they are keen to avoid repeating past fundraising and commercialization related mistakes.
The other representative director is Takashi Kondo (see his recent interview), who is in charge of business planning and fundraising. Ms. Ogawa is in charge of research and development and technology.
Lead scientist and OrganTech owner Dr. Takashi Tsuji remains fully involved of course. The company is scheduled to conduct clinical research within one to two years for practical application. With Japan’s fast track regulations, this treatment could still get to clinics in 2026 as was announced by Dr. Takashi Tsuji last year. Key quote:
“In the near future, this world-first, Japan-originated organ regenerative medicine management will shock the world and contribute to improving the QOL of many people.”
Update: February 11, 2023
OrganTech: New name for Organ Technologies
After ending its partnership with Riken and Dr. Takashi Tsuji in 2021, Organ Technologies is back. It is renaming itself to OrganTech, and this time the founder himself is Dr. Tsuji. A little confusing, but read the next paragraph. OrganTech plans to start hair regeneration related clinical trials in 2024. And yet again they have a new website. They are also getting funding from Kobayashi Pharmaceutical.
According to the latest press release, it seems like founder Dr. Tsuji will remain the team leader and OrganTech is still affiliated with RIKEN. However, Dr. Tsuji cannot be officially titled CEO, since RIKEN does not allow its top scientists to be CEOs of venture firms. This last point was e-mailed to me by a reader.
I previously mentioned how Dr. Tsuji took over Organ Technologies’ debt in 2021 in order to prevent patent loss. He also announced that they plan to offer their hair multiplication treatment in 2026. So this new development means they are on schedule. Note that Japan has favorable regulations in relation to clinical trial speed when it comes to regenerative medicine.
They are also very serious about fundraising this time. On March 6th 2023, they plan to present their technology on Tokyo Innovative Business Day. On OrganTech’s website, it says that the company’s purpose is to “create functional organs.” They they emphasize the two main areas of Dr. Tsuji’s past work:
“Technologies that can contribute to hair regenerative medicine and dental regenerative medicine.”
Also of interest, the following patents are assigned to Organ Technologies. These now belong to OrganTech.
Jan 5, 2020
I have mentioned many times that Dr. Takashi Tsuji and his hair loss treatment protocol holds the best short-term prospects for a hair loss cure. Mr. Tsuji is working in partnership with RIKEN, Organ Technologies and Kyocera. The treatment can come to market faster because 1) It is autologous in nature; and 2) Clinical trials in Japan get finished faster due to favorable government regulations.
All four of these Japan-based partners have their own sites (in Japanese and English). So it is hard to keep a track of new developments.
Organ Technologies and Takashi Tsuji
Organ Technologies has updated its website (Update: They replaced it yet again with a new one in 2023. See upper sections of this post for latest updates). A goldmine of information is available on the new site.
The hair regeneration page has a list of publications at the bottom. Apparently, the company has developed three generations of its technology over the years. Mostly via the work of Dr. Takashi Tsuji and RIKEN (in Kobe, Japan).
I will add more to this post in the coming days, but wanted to start the discussion now. Please only post comments about Organ Technologies and the work of its partners in this post.
I am wondering if human trials has been finished for the 1. generation: DP rejuvenation treatment.
Otherwise SHISEIDO has a big advantage. I could not imagine that SHISEIDO has to do a 2year trial and Tsuji has only to do a little trial and then commercialize it.
I want an official update of Kyocera. They claimed in 2016 on their homepage that they commercialize in 2020. in November 2018 Tsuji said that they will cure baldness in 2020.
So we need an kyocera-Update!
It’s coming. Don’t worry. Just start saving up
bringing out a $300,000 treatment wouldnt be as a worthwhile for a company than a $5000 treatment that they can sell to the masses
Hopefully one of those will be available this year! Glad to hear they have other options and the prices could be much less the other treatments.
This looks very promising. A life without worrying about hair loss. Imagine!
Now this is EXCELLENT information from a company. These Japanese have tackled all 3 areas of its competitors. Sisheido better stop messing around or these guys will take them under. I still think it will be out of reach for common folk due to its price 300k but……if they announce completion of any of the three treatments they technically cured baldness. I’ll take a loan out to end this bs mpb once and for all.
Which of the three treatments do we think will be best for diffuse thinners?
Also, what is Organ Technologies relation to Tsuji?
On the page they mention that they continue R&D and anticipate clinical trials. Too bad thought they were undergoing trials in humans already. this still sounds like it’s sooo far away:/
Tsuji started human trials in 2019 per last update.
Has this been confirmed and do we know which of three technologies mentioed are undergoing trials?
No it has not been officially confirmed unfortunately
Hi Admin, first thank you for mentioning me, that’s kind. I knew you would make an article (or more articles) out of this new information as this company is our biggest hope and the by far most advanced in terms of time schedule and technology.
How do you know they started human trials already? Any official statement?
Anyhow I believe they started secret testing long time ago, probably in 2018. Those claims on the website are so strong and confident, they must know it works – otherwise it would be terribly embarrassing.
Hi Ben and GreedBlocksTheCure,
— Per this interview (I did not recheck the video today so please do so), human trials began in 2019:
https://www.hairlosscure2020.com/dr-tsujis-hair-loss-cure-in-2020-will-be-costly/
— Per page 2 of this interview after translation, human trials were scheduled to start in 2019:
https://project.nikkeibp.co.jp/behealth/atcl/feature/00003/061200009/?P=2
I would be surprised if they are behind schedule, since this is an autologous treatment.
I see now. They were doing clinical research at a university hospital during 2019. The clinical trials for product approval will begin after the results of the research are submitted.
@admin according to their last official post from 2018:
” Under the plan, we will begin manufacturing samples for preclinical testsinJuly2018 and we will conduct preclinical safety tests using animals.Weplan to complete the safety testingin 2018.If the results of the preclinical safety testsare successful, we will apply for clinical research to the Certified Special Committee or Certified Committee for Regenerative Medicine. After receiving approval fromthe Committee, we will present aprovisionalplan to the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare,and will shift towardimplementation of clinical research.The details of the clinical research will be announced before the initiation of theresearch. ”
But, there is no official announcement about any clinical trial.
Histogen made similar claims about time lines, FDA in The States average 17yrs for trials and market phase. Ill remain hopeful but expect the worst, 300k is ridiculous but perhaps there will be licensing and more affordable options of it does indeed make it to market
On Linkedin there are only 6 people who say in their profile that they are working for Organ Technologies.
Which means they have 6 employees looking for another job :-)
Linkedin is more for business professionals, not medical researchers.
They had 11 employees in mid-2018. Many Japanese professionals probably don’t care about LinkedIn.

Replicel has 4 employees Linkedin lol —

Unfortunately, I have to ask the question… Are these companies seeking investor money? Companies make beautiful claims when seeking investor money. What’s motivation for website claims without proof or an available product? Just tempering expectations a bit.
Photos. If these claims are legit (good chance they are), then I sincerely hope we see photos soon. That’ll be the moment. Let’s hope these companies have done it and they’re good, honest people.
Videos, not photos, should be the minimum standard of proof. My first question when I see before and after photos is often is it even the same person?
Even people in Africa have video phones now. There is just no excuse for not taking a video.
good, honest people!!… what’s that??…
It’s about money… good and honest it’s not part of the deal…
But we still hope for the best…
Histogen os the cute guys. Wait and see. Is near! Wait a bit longer and you will have full head of hairs!
They have funding from Kyocera, Mitsui, Itochu, RIKEN (Japanese government) and probably more.
Admin, forgive me for the skepticism. I’ve been lied to by the hair loss industry since I was 19, and the results have been particularly rough for me over the past 20 years…
I once knew a very reputable HT doctor who claimed a 70% growth rate with his brand new hair follicle generation process. He used that promise to get me to agree to another hair transplant surgery (my 4th) plus his new hair regeneration procedure to supplement. That said, he still wanted standard FUT to make a predictable and artistic hairline, but he was to fill in the crown with his new breakthrough procedure (I drove 9 hours each way to see him.. twice). I agreed to his plan, because I was desperate from previously failed FUT procedures, and the doctor knew it. Again, he had a great reputation for hairlines, so I trusted him on the FUT in the front and new hair regeneration process on the crown. It made sense. He took my money.
This doctor is a well-known name in the HT industry even to this very day. He presented a very lengthy and beautiful PowerPoint presentation at a national hair conference showing microscopic photos of new hair follicle formation through his breakthrough process. I now know that the point was to attract desperate people like me to his office.
Needless to say, the new procedure failed. The new follicles were a lie. I now have linear FUT scars on the sides of my head that have left me no other choice but to cover it with a wig every day, costing me thousands of hours, thousands of dollars, discrimination against me at work, and no personal relationships (since I refuse to impose my daily stress on anyone).
This doctor named that fake cure “autocloning”… plucked hairs plus Acell.
That’s enough venting for one day. I know the past doesn’t predict the future, and I visit this website with hope each week. I just also hope that my story might help give people’s optimism a healthy dose of caution and critical thinking. Doctors can pretty much claim whatever they want, and they tend to do so if it helps the money roll in.
I understand Slick, and hope things improve for you. I want to stop wearing a cap so often myself. Not to mention needing haircuts every 4 weeks due to various regions of the scalp misbehaving.
this guy got me too..back in 2009 …shaved my head, got smp…to cover my scars…after lasers to smooth and flatten the scars.. concealed my scars about 70 percent in 2015..this doctor charged me…for the test and never called me to see if the beard hairs grew.. the beard hairs never grew back either..there is a circle in my mustache..where he plucked them so hard…lol
First of all, Dr.Tsuji is not professor and scientist on some marginal university in some rural Thailand town. He is professor on one of the best universities in Japan. Japan is highly advanced country and Japanese are very hardworking people. So, don’t worry, he is not gonna lie if they failed to produce cure for MPB.
Don’t sugar coat it :-) You mean he is not from a university that used to be a truck stop.
That’s nonsense, Tokyo University is up there with the best universities of the world (https://cwur.org/2019-2020.php)
I think you may have misunderstood what I meant. I was not ridiculing Tokyo University but most of the others.
And I have been to Japan and it was awesome.
Dr.Tsuji is scientist with very big credibility and his team is working on many other organoids. Not just hair. In future all these treatments and innovations will bring very big positive things for japanese economy and health. Everyone who had visited Japan knows that they are very credible people.
if he fails then he commits suicide, is an old Japanese ritual \ use.
Hey Slick, sorry to hear about your experience. Hair loss industry is a giant scam. I personally like it when people vent on here. It’s good to hear it so others can learn andnot fall for ht and other scam doctors. Was this doctor Rahal? I know he is big on fut hairlines and known for impressive results but it’s all advertising. I hear other complaints from that Prasad guy who is pushing his advance prp. Haha dude screams scam. They all need to be called out. Not sure why so many forums block the names of these ht scammers. They need to be accountable for their actions for taking advantage of innocent mpb sufferers. Better off not getting an ht from a crook and go bald than have a failed one with scars and blowing thousands. So much for the fda tracking these guys down. It’s all about money ….always about money.
Thanks Mjones. I found a great micro pigmentation artist who is slowly helping me mask the scars with a buzz cut, so I’m hoping that’ll help me ditch the life-sucking wig and makeup routine. The SMP is subtle, unnoticeable, and effective. I do take some responsibility for bad choices and am always working on a “fix”. Moral to the story is NEVER get FUT scars. My life would’ve been far easier had the most recent scam not sold me on getting scars on the sides of my head which are very very hard to hide.
The doctor’s name I won’t say, but searching autocloning acell and plucked hair might get some results from good ole 2010. He was really onto something working with intercytex! LOL. The PowerPoint presentation really sold me on traveling to see him. Desperate people make bad decisions, and HT doctors take full advantage. You just have to keep moving forward and try to have a better plan.
Slick
Reading your story, I feel deep and honest empathy with you.
My personal struggle with mpb has also caused me to isolate myself, socially and relationship wise.
I also feel ridiculous lucky that I’ve been able to dodge several transplants – that I know would have been disastrous. The first one 20 years ago (when I was around 20) with a local doctor would have ruined me for life.
I was so close, so reading your story really hits home, because it could very well have been me.
Honestly, I truly hope there will be something that actually works within the next five years, so that people like you can finally find some healing and peace. I, with my NW3, will gladly get inline behind you, as you deserve this so much more.
Telly, Your comment is greatly appreciated. I’m pretty much max NW. That said, at your NW 3, it’s possible that FUE and some subtle SMP could help you. Regardless, it’s best to embrace it and clip your hair nice and short. Men look the strongest when thinning hair is clipped short. Embrace being a guy with too much testosterone! Women have told me they liked when guys clip hair short, because it makes them feel more girly by comparison.
Anyway, I WISH I could clip my hair very short and just move on. Unfortunately, FUT scars are long and embarrassing all around my head. I refuse to be a walking joke, so I cover them up (particularly at my job as an engineer, I speak in front of big crowds sometimes). We all have our issues to deal with. It’s certainly been humbling and isolating as you say.
Best wishes to you. I’m very glad you never got strip scars! Maybe you can buzz it short until we get the cure!
Sounds like you are speaking of the MD in North Carolina, but that seems odd considering his stellar reputation?
“live your life” Yes, I thought the same thing! He’s a hardworking MD that takes pride in conventional HT hairlines. You feel you can trust well-known industry leaders, right? I did.
But ask yourself, given that we have nothing better than finasteride and minox in 2020, what business does anyone have naming a 2010 procedure “autoCLONING”? What does that imply?? How does a doctor get away with such colossal BS and still keep a “stellar reputation”?? He claimed 70% success rate of new follicles in a written presentation… BS… No consequences
The whole point of the scam was to draw long-distance people like me, with no hope left, into his office where he could convince a scarred, max norwood guy that there’s still hope and that I should pay thousands for even more procedures. That’s the evil of the business. There was still money to be squeezed from me. I was desperate after failed hair transplants and being a high NW beyond any surgeon’s capabilities. He knew it. He used it.
Even the most reputable names in the industry have no problem running scams based on hope and hype. They’ll give you life-altering scars knowing full well they can’t really fix your hair. It’s all about the money.
Yeah that Dr in North Carolina talks a lot about innovation but I never see any real WOW factor results from prp or his transplants. The best fue I see are from Spain. Fue experts, and some good results from hassan wong, rahal and Konior. I see great ethical reviews from konior and great quick healing from his patients. Hopefully we will see cell based transplants this decade and remove the need to butcher our heads.
Mjones.. LOL… Hype brings clients from far and wide! They can claim almost any new, unprovable “developmental” breakthrough is working with no consequences (if it doesn’t work for YOU, then you’re a unique case). You only find out after you’ve paid. So what’s the latest snake oil? Exosomes?
I google Acell hair auto cloning and at least 10 doctors refer to it as autocloning or auto cloning on their sites….! Based on some paper about Acell. What a scam.
North Carolina
Hey Slick, you can say his name no problem, and sorry to hear about your bad experience :-(
Admin, Okay I’m done spamming your site with my scar-head origin story. It helped to share. Now I’ll stay relevant to the topics and hope for the best moving forward! If and when we see evidence of a breakthrough, I might just appreciate that a bit. Thanks.
No worries, I trust long time posters’ feedback. Were your scars largely from your earlier FUT, or from the most recent one?
Original scars in back of the head were from Dr. Shapiro in South Florida. He had big-time radio ads running the Miami-Fort Lauderdale metro area. I was 19 years old and showed him photos of my NW7 grandfather to see if that’d be enough hair to work with, and he told me the results would be “miraculous”… Had 3 surgeries over consecutive Spring Breaks. Result was sparse plugs and cratered scalp.
Many years later I was searching for any solution to fix hairline, add density, and ditch wig (buzz shorter). That’s when Dr. North Carolina had the plan of supplementing new FUT from sides of the head with his new “autocloning”. It made sense at the time, since Acell was supposed to make scars almost nonexistent (per the PowerPoint presentation) and I was desperate. The side-head FUT decision I blame more on myself, since I was then an adult. Regardless, I was lied to about autocloning and was flat-out told that it was working very well. I wanted to believe in a reputable doctor. Didn’t work out.
The scars on the side of the head make SMP masking much more difficult. It’s a highly noticeable location when facing people to talk. My hair is too thin to cover them without makeup. Sucks.
Anyway.. I’m ready for a real solution. Hopefully we see some results.
Hairclone received full funding!!!
We’re on course gents
Tsuji hairclone Tissuse and distant chance shiseido on the line up!
WOO!!
Assuming they do more than just follicle banking in the near future, it is good news.
https://twitter.com/Drgregwilliams/status/1213147107147866112
They hope to be able to offer treatment early next year, maybe earlier if things fall into place smoothly.
ive met with 4 of their clinical partners, 2 face to face. the other two via skype. i believe we will have other treatments that prove more robust soon before they launch. conincidentally, i am meeting with Cooley on Friday and will ask him about hair clone. however, he is really high on exosomes right now….so should make for an interesting meeting
Please post your experiences with exosomes on here, and say hi to Dr. Cooley from HLC2020 :-)
Ok, but that Tweet I linked to before from one of the UK doctors only mentioned follicle banking. Hopefully they can speed up the more important work.
Here it is:
We are extremely pleased and proud to announce that, in partnership with Newcastle University, we have received a significant grant from InnovateUK to help us develop our personalised regenerative cell therapy for androgenic alopecia and make it ready for clinical use

Only interesting for our children. I’m following this blog since I’m 23, back then I was hearing news about the „big players“ that were supposed to have a cure by now according to their timeline and I always thought to myself nice, I’ll just focus on studying, maintaining a good lifestyle and physique and by the time I finished university and found a job, I’ll finally enjoy life again having hair like most people around me. Hitting 28 soon and nothing has changed, not even speaking about available treatments but also potential treatments. The biggest innovation is follica, combining microneedling with probably minoxidil
@Red
I started to deal with baldness when you were born… believe me you are not in a bad spot…
I remember when I was 18 and started losing hair and they said a cure was within 5-10 years away. There was equal hype back then but it feels like they are maybe half way there since then. I’m turning 30…so at 42 maybe I’ll have hair lol. Who honestly cares at that point. At least I’ve been alright with buzzing my hair with a 0 and 1 since I was 19, not some guy messing with my hormones or butchering my scalp. So I’ve been fortunate there. Besides random comments and questions if I’m in the army or a neo-nazi, it’s alright.
For what is worth here is another article….
https://www.wraltechwire.com/2020/01/08/a-cure-for-baldness-durham-startup-says-yes-with-its-patented-led-light-technology/
Just interesting to read…
https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2020/jan/08/it-takes-a-thick-skin-to-rock-a-bald-head-meet-the-women-embracing-hair-loss
If that same north Carolina doctor is involved with hairclone then my excitement for that company is now gone. I really hope these researchers actually understand the stress we go through and that scamming us or providing false claims is not cool. My gut tells me that this treatment will provide sparse new hairs and nothing close to a cure. Prob best case prp results. Of course im pulling this out of my a%* but I just don’t trust that company. Failed intercytex researchers with a scammy ht doc already promoting autocloning. Doesn’t sit right especially when they asked the public to crowdfund them lol. Even follica didn’t have amazing results at least he didn’t put up a go fund me account lol.
Biologist find 5x increase in life span
For c elegan “applocable to humans”
Also sinclair has new interview saying their working on full tissue age reversing at Harvard with george churchs lab.
I will only trust anti-aging gurus when they regrow hair in tandem with aging reversal claims.
This is a lot bigger than hair. In fact I’d encourage anyone stressing about hair loss to dive into all of the exciting stuff going on with life extension and age reversal. It’s given me a genuine peace of mind.
Well hey It’s not easy becoming a chief scientist at Harvard… just hearing two of them saying their astounded by what they’ve discovered in the past 6 months is obviously note worthy.
These studies are totally correlated with yuva mitochondria take on the situation btw so I think it’s much more worth attention.
Not to sound elitist but you know it’s a big difference between these hair loss companies vs Harvard.
Can you post the link to Sinclair interview Egghead?
It’s on YouTube it’s recent sorry I’m too lazy / busy
Hello Gents,
Probably i’ve missed that but Tegardong this new technology: after new follicles will be cultivated in the lab and and send back to the doctor is it going to be good old regular transplantation? Similar to FUE procedure?
Tired of hearing about all the hairloss and age reversal break through’s. Nothing ever comes to fruition. Most just want the publicity.
Age reversal? It’s gonna take decades no need to be on the edge of your chair. Their doing clinicals in 2022 it’ll be alot longer than that until they can turn a 60 yo into a 20 yo body. Even ray kurzweil as aggressive as his exponential time lines are is 2040.
If libella succeeds this year starting next week dr. Bill Andrews work is being put to the test with controversial coverage. If they succeed then you’ll be hearing about this more than trump. That’s not likely to succeed though according to other scientist.
Admin,
I contacted Organ Technologies to ask some basic questions, and they responded. Here is their response:
“We are conducting research to provide patients with our technology as you have expected.
The method of recruiting clients and clinical trials or subjects are undecided now.
We hope to confirm our progress on our new HP new arrivals and media etc.
I am sorry to hear that you will respond to your expectations,
but I would be pleased if you can understand it.
We will encourage our employees to use words from you
and we will make every effort to realize it as soon as possible.”
Sorry for posting this on an “old” post (not even on the first page) but I wasn’t sure where to put it.
Thanks Paul! Greg got a similar reply too. Other sources suggest they started trials last year. Hard to tell if Tsuji and Organ are on the same page and being transparent.
Well it’s basically neither a bad nor a good reply, and probably a standard generic text, copy and paste. I wonder how many enquiries they get, must be thousands a year.
It’s clear that they don’t want to give any promises and hold expectations down. There’s always a chance of failure – maybe the technique just doesn’t work in humans (mice it does).
What’s true is that the official statments (Tsuji Interviews, Organ Tech Website, RIKEN) are sometimes a little contradictory or confusing – the website for instance is pretty direct and audacious and claims a “global breakthrough”. Other statements are more cautious. The translations from Japanese to English also seem to be a little wooden at times.
No worries. Do you think we will learn anything significant in March?
Greg, did you follow up? I didn’t bother, as they didn’t really answer any of my questions, and I thought I’d just get a similar reply to the first one.
Nah, I didn’t. Although they usually do give updates in March. I think that they’re not telling us anything real about their work because those inquiries can come form anyone. Only months ago they were giving lectures and interviews about their treatment so I wouldn’t take what they said as super crucial – they could just be avoiding disclosing anything of importance.
Very interesting. I guess that this treatment is for people who are completely bald and not in the process of balding? Unless you could do multiple surgeries but with the price that seems unrealistic.
From the information their website, they claim that it doesn’t matter at what stage you are – they have the treatments to fix it.
meaning even If I’m only a norwood 2-3 it can restore me back to a 0 forever? I’m confused how they would be able to do this with out multiple surgeries if I am certainly gonna lose more hair
I don’t think it’s multiple surgeries but then just doing multiple procedures with your follicles in the lab.
But how will they stop the rest of the hair from falling out?
I think their “first generation” procedure dies that – I think it’s similar to Shiseido’s procedure or what hairclone is trying to do – it DHT-proofs the hairs that you have. And the second gen. treatment clones hairs and fills up places in which you don’t have any. Check out their site – all this info is on there.
Whats the difference between what riken is researching and what jhewitt is?
Oh that’s awesome. you really think this is it? I can’t wait to not worry about this anymore.
They definitely claim to so some amazing stuff. I guess we’ll find out this year with trail results – but yeah. A lot of people – both on this blog and other blogs and other places as well refer to tsuji as one of the “imminent cures” that are being developed. And while there’s no tangible proof to back that up yet, there is a very good amount of evidence.
Only downside is the price during the first few years. Then it should drop to be somewhat affordable but still pricey. But it’ll spark competition – like TissUse who’s already playing ball – and others and create variety so you might be able to get a very similar treatment that’s in a much different price range.
When do you think we will get news about it? in 4-6 months?
Tsuji or TissUse? TissUse should be starting their trial in late January – so any day now. For tsuji, nobody really knows when they’ll do an update but they usually give an update in March so there’s a good chance they will this March as well.
I assume TissUse will have another delay… unfortunately
Jon Knight had problems with the company which should do the trials. As we are in end of January and the trial haven’t started I think we can forget TissUse for the next months
Time to buy stock in riken?
Corregidme si me equivoco, pero todo esto no fue noticia en 2018?Según lo que había leído en articulos de tricologos, los resultados en humanos habían sido malos y aseguran que todavía es una utopía la clonación capilar.
Ojalá no sea así. En qué os basais para esperar buenas noticias este año?
But how will the business model thrive if they’re charging $250K plus? They’ll have a decent amount of customers initially then it will fizzle out shortly afterwards and won’t sustain. However, this does cause a healthy pressure on other hair regenerative biotech companies to pick up the pace.
All relatively new technologies and innovations are very expensive.
This treatment will be very expensive, because it will give long time real solution based on science and technology from leading worldwide institute (RIKEN).
And this is the closest that we can get for hair cloning in near future. All other treatments are part-time solutions or only lab based dreams so far.
Hopefully, they got a chance to test the treatment and improve the technology last 2 years.
Bryan Bryan Bryan ♂️
Time to update GT20029. Much much more promise than the company listed above.
I already updated the Kintor post in the GT20029 section. Please try to post in that subject’s related post.
Thanks admin for the update but I don’t want to get my hopes up anymore. I don’t care if this cost so much money as long as it comes out to the market, I hope this isn’t a cruel joke. Bryan bro if you read this, do you think Dr tsuji hair cloning is better than stemsons therapeutics ? and do you believe that Dr tsuji will be able to release his technology to the public in 2026 ? And if this will be 250k plus what if one just needs to fill in one’s temples? That’s only like 1000k hair grafts generally speaking,so will 1000k hair grafts really be 70k dollars ? If so people have spent way more money on a Lexus than getting there looks back a good hair line does amazing thing’s to one’s physical appearance. Confidence is a key component in life.
After clinical trials we will know which technology is better. Until then we must wait.
OrganTech got their first funding and if they get their second funding in March, then they will firstly get to clinical trials in 2024. It will be game changing and it will open doors for other organ regenerations, because hair follicle in his nature is very complex organ.
Stemson is working with iPSCs and they are still many years away from clinical trials, because USA laws are different than Japanese.
@ Bryan your right! Thanks for the information.
Well what a nice surprise. Tsuji is back, with a vengeance. Nice find, admin.
Just a few short years away, hair cloning (Stemson, Tsuji, Fukuda, Hairclone, TissUse, Stemore) was seen as THE future solution. Today we are not much further – but trials are announced so here’s that. Eventually it will happen.
This approach is very complex: you need to serve 2 clients: patients and clinics. It’s more of a tech-business than a pharmacological business. So those ventures must deliver high-tech and know-how to thousands of clinics. Absolutely possible, but I wouldn’t underestimate the size of this endeavor. Traditional hair-transplants might be gone forever in 10 years.
But the bigger threat for cell-therapies is that traditional interventions (pills, injections, topicals) gained a lot of traction in recent months and seemingly offer full solutions for hair loss and are much easier to apply for the patient himself and also from a suppliers perspective. Pelage, Amplifica, HopeMed, Kintor, Olix – every single one of them could solve hair loss. No transplants needed.
If cell-therapies want a market-share, they need to move quickly. Ask yourself: would you rather take HMI-115 or go to a transplant-clinic?
A lot of competition in the market, that’s good for us.
Pills, injections, topicals will have limited success and you need to repeat treatment over and over again.
That would be so great if a company like Hopemed could cure bald scalps without a transplant, but I am reminded by some dermatologists that once the hair follicle gets too small, there is no coming back. Do you agree? Is there any science saying differently for human hair?
The stem-cell-reservoir is always there. Many studies showed that if certain signalling-pathways are activated the follicles fully recover – they are just dormant by definition.
This approach is done by Pelage (directly stem cell) and Amplifica (signalling pathways).
HopeMed also showed full regrowth (in previously fully bald areas) in the studies – but that mechanism is a little different (prolactin).
Androgen receptor targeted therapies (Olix, Finasteride or Kintor) are not very effective in that.
Thanks Ben. You seem to know a lot. I appreciate your reply and taking the time out to do so.
Man I hope your right!
The best news of the year without a doubt, although with Tsuji we must be cautious given his history. Reading your comments, I have to agree with Bryan. All of us who suffer from alopecia, once did not have this problem in our minds and I consider that a solution based on pills, topicals or injections from time to time would not solve our psychological problem of not worrying about baldness forever (although I understand your reflection Ben, that this path would be more affordable in economic terms). And as a final comment, I have read studies that explain how DHT affects the dermal papilla, opening small pores through which the stem cells escape, turning into skin cells, so in a person who has never been medicated against alopecia, and have a large area of baldness, it is impossible for me to make new hair sprout, without a definitive solution such as hair cloning.
the more the merrier but maybe all these companies will be too late , because im beginning to think that verteporfin might be the real deal, Dr Baghoutis small trial so far has shown that hair follicles regenerate, he was able to achieve 100% regeneration plus wound healing after extracting a single follicle. We need more hair transplant doctora doing experiments with verteporfin to see if they can replicate these results on a larger set of follicles. While i think hair cloning will be the permanent cure, this could be an interim treatment to have essentiallly an unlimited supply of donor extractions. Admin, you should follow Dr Baghouti i can post a link to his thread if anyone is interested.
I was never keen on just one surgeon testing. Hope it can be replicated. Also, please post about that in the below thread:
https://www.hairlosscure2020.com/verteporfin-week-in-the-hair-loss-world/
thanks will do!
Once they show a legit nw6 to nw1 then I’ll get excited…..I know how this all pans out….I hope tsuji shows us a real hair cloning solution…
I don’t need a NW6 to NW1, just infinite hair, rest will be done somehow, even if it has to be done in severel sessions
We need as many hair multiplication approaches to be commercialised as soon as possilbe: that will bring prices down. There has been speculation that Tsuji’s method may initally retail as high as 300K dollars: well, we will see. It has to be proved to work and be safe first. But anything like that will obviously be out of the question for the great majority of people. All new technologies are expensive to start with: it takes the magic of competition and the market to bring down prices and make it accessible to the mass of people. I’m now wearing hair systems (I no longer have enough hair for a transplant). I live in hope that in ten years or so I can get bio hair back. It will come: just a question of time.
I think this will be the first real cure, and it will be available in only 3 short years. Fukuda will be probably as fast. When you think of it, it’s even more than a cure: you could have more hair than you had as a 16-year-old: denser, lower hairline, etc. An endless supply.
It’s pretty clear though that it will be expensive and there will be only limited numbers of patients. At least in the beginning. Having two strong contenders is crucial therefore.
The third in the game, Stemson, is a bit of a letdown. They are soon entering their 6th (!) year of existence. They started with following statements:
„Our new protocol described today overcomes key technological challenges that kept our discovery from real-world use“
„Now we have a robust, highly controlled method for generating natural-looking hair that grows through the skin using an unlimited source of human iPSC-derived dermal papilla cells. This is a critical breakthrough in the development of cell-based hair-loss therapies and the regenerative medicine field.”
So they had the tech already in 2019? What have they done since?
It’s certainly not an easy task, but still a major disappointment. I hope they come up with some big announcements soon, or they are the next failure.
And I interviewed Dr. Terskikh in 2017 and covered his earlier work in 2015!
Exactly lol people don’t realise that Terskikh has been in the game longer and only now talking about clinical trials. But I do agree I feel like 2026-2028 are going to be special years.
I would have to double-check, but if I remember correctly Terskikh‘s first papers regarding hair research are from 2011. Let that sink in.
I’m not so convinced yet. We know Dr. Tsuji got it to work in mice (so did Stemson Therapeutics) but now from mice jumping to humans? With the pre-clinicals it seems that going from mice to a bigger mammal (and one with more similar skin to humans) is the barometer to see if a therapy is likely to work. Did Dr. Tsuji do that and I am just not aware? I was happy that Epibiotech succeeded in their pig studies but am not happy that they didn’t allow for longer periods of time to see if the hairs were able to cycle and regrow. Unfortunately that is a process that takes years of patience. I hope they will try again with this approach. The thing I’m worried about is Dr. Tsuji might succeed in growing hairs in people but then the hairs will fail to cycle continually in them.
So there starting human trials next year maybe the following year? Do you think we will be notified if and when Dr tsuji starts human trials? Do you think Dr tsuji is really going to do this for 2026?
The end of hair loss will happen one day, that I don’t doubt, but when…who knows? Ask ChatGPT before it takes your job. Obviously it’s just plain speculative at this point. Maybe in our lifetime, maybe not? I’m hopeful that one of these players with a card in the game will crack the riddle…eventually. Soonish would be better (I’m not getting any younger). In the meantime, it’s oral Min for dinner, quickly followed by a topical Fin nightcap and a sneaky Niz chaser. Nite.
What do you think about HMI-115?
Marconi, to the best of my knowledge it’s effectively the cure. Will cost around 80K usd however.
I always wonder where people always get this extreme price estimates from? There was never any offical mention regarding the price… Some antibody treatments can be this expensive but that doesn’t mean this one has to be that high. I was treated with antibody injections a few years ago and the injection price was much, much cheaper for example, only time will tell how expensive it will be.
No offense, how do you know it will effective?
Leon Edwards.
What a stupid comment. The treatment isn‘t out for years to come, yet random users on the internet know the price.
Ludicrous.
From a partners WSJ article whose url containing “moving-regenerative-medicine-forward-in-japan” is no longer available:
“If a regenerated hair follicle primordium created with the method is transplanted to the scalp, it will enable people suffering from male-pattern alopecia to regrow their hair. For this as well, we will start a clinical trial during 2024.”
OrganTech got the reward for best start-up in the APAC region in 2023 by StartUp City.
https://www.startupcity.com/organtech
Sooooooo, The company just changed its name…. fantastic…(where’s that damn eyeroll emoticon when. U need it…)
I couldn‘t find the statement for 6 clinical trials in the link (but Japanese translations are always horrendous).
Is there further info on that? I see that it includes the teeth regeneration too, but that would make it 2 then…maybe they pursue several methods like Fukuda does too.
Theo just emailed me and I think he meant hiring 6 scientists, not trials. Thanks for the great Pelage news too btw. Will update that post.
I wanted to post in the Lowry-article but it seemed old and inactive to me, so here‘s Pelage Pharma news from their website:
„Pelage Pharmaceuticals Announces $16.75M Series A Financing led by GV to Revolutionize Regenerative Medicine for Hair Loss
Pioneers novel approach to restore the body’s natural ability to grow hair by reactivating dormant hair follicle stem cells.“
„Early Phase I clinical data shows statistically significant stem cell activation in the hair follicles after one week of treatment with PP405“
We already knew about the very potent financing round which was finalized last June, but the second statement is definitely the big news: they already started phase 1 trials.
This is excellent news mwhahaha
Of the 3 companies that were active in curing baldness or hair cloning (Fukuda, Tsuji and Stemson), Organtech is definitely the one that gave me the least confidence, their communications are always encouraging and short and promising deadlines, always using the word regeneration but without providing concrete data and always resorting to financial contributions which makes me think that it is only pure marketing not to say that it is something else… But on the other hand it is what we have left, I hope I am wrong or else wait and accept Stemson’s deadlines and wait for an alternative in that time.
i dont want to burst anyone‘s bubble here but a lot of big pharma is suffering in terms of growth and revenue targets at the moment.
If there was a slightest hope that this would be a cure: they would have paid billions of billions already.
If i dont see a big name behind, i dont believe anything.
My dear Mr. Egghead, I get your pessimism, but let‘s stick to the truth.
OrganTech has a signed a strategic alliance and investment plan with Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals in 2023. Same applies to Fukuda and Rohto Pharma.
The above stated cooperation with „OrganEcoTech“ (stock exchange listed) is also very likely tied to a financial investment. Mr. Kondo is doing his job: stable finances as opposed to their prior venture.
Most endeavors in the area are well funded and also backed by big pharma (eg AbbVie) like Stemson, HopeMed, Kintor, Pelage, Amplifica, Technoderma.
Please don’t spread wrong information, that doesn’t benefit anybody.
I honestly wish that people who are broken/overly pessimistic just give up. Leave the page and focus on other things.
I think it’s an up and down of emotions. People that are overly pessimistic one week turn up here hopeful the next (raises hand). And I get it, especially since (as we all know) being skeptical and not getting our hopes up is a very smart thing when the majority (nearly all) of the start ups in this field fail or end up being snake oil. There is hope and then results turn out terrible or the funding dries up or the timeline gets extended by a decade. So many setbacks. Just the nature of the industry.
That said, we do need to stick to the facts. And remind ourselves that it doesn’t define us unless we let it. Some of the greatest inventors/authors (and so on) in history have been bald. We need to focus on bettering ourselves (mind and body) and when a cure comes (if it comes) it comes. Live our lives, basically. Don’t put it on hold waiting for a cure.
Wise words in these past few posts and important true to try and keep a balanced perspective, but much easier said than done. Not everyone is able to rise above vanity and one’s appearance is something many want the ability to control, I’ve always thought of vitiligo as a comparable disease to AGA, and whilst everything you’ve said could equally be given as advice there it would seem more hollow no?
Well, my perspective is unique I guess. I have several major long term illnesses. I’ve been near death multiple times. So while I’d rather not be bald, I got bigger issues. Not that I’m any better than anyone else – I wine about these failed trials more than anyone, probably (or I’m close to first place). I just end up taking a deep breath (sometimes post rant) and reminding myself there is more to life. It’s a roller coaster. I’m far from perfect. Just gotta keep trying and keep reminding myself it doesn’t define me – my lack of hair or these illnesses. It’s not easy.
Fair enough, we’re all in this together I guess and have to try and cope and keep perspective the best way we know how. Here’s to many years of health to you!
It’s normal to have ups and downs. We’re human. You’re right that we’re all in it together though. All on the same team. I get negative sometimes too.
Thanks for the health wishes. Back at you!
And James, you are right… everything influences life, for those of us who suffer from alopecia at a very young age it is something that affects you psychologically but I had a transplant and with medication, thank God I am happy and I live my life happily but always I have the worry and fear of going through the same thing again and I would like to live in peace knowing that there is a cure, but it is true that life is beautiful and that we must enjoy it
Definitely impacts all of us. I never mean to downplay it. The struggle is real.
I assume that your comment refers directly to my Yoyo, I simply express what I feel and my perspective and always with respect towards others because this problem affects all readers of this page. You are right, at this moment I am pessimistic but realistic, I am not like you who thinks that an 80-year-old person with androgenetic alopecia who began to experience hair loss at 18 and 25 was completely bald, now at 80 years old he will receive an injection and he will recover his hair as if it were grass that grows on the ground because according to you, under his bald skin there are still all his follicles… You continue living in your world of light and color but I am going to continue commenting on what want just like you do.
Alvaro my amigo lol. I have never said that life is full of colour and light. But this page is dedicated for discoveries and discussions on hair loss, I don’t see you commenting anything useful on the page except “this is at least 10 years away” “another failed start up”. Just like Marc’s comments, that don’t move us anywhere. I want to see something different, something that’s more productive. If you regurgitate the same boring statements over and over again, it gets tiring to read. So if it affects you that much just leave it be. I’m not saying everything is butterflies and rainbows but at least I comment on updates and new start ups and provide something new for the community. You just say the say the same thing but with a remix.
And plus Alvaro I was commentating based on what Amplifica and Pelage were saying on their SCIENTIFIC STUDIES. No offence at all but I’d rather listen to their point of view than a random commenter on a hair loss blog.
You know that I really appreciate your contributions and your work in searching for new updates on the Yoyo page friend, and as you know I only usually comment on the publications of Fukuda, Tsuji or Stemson, because their approach personally seems like the definitive cure to me, but I admit that new medications surely have the potential to become a cure for many types of people. I understand that people who only provide negative and skeptical comments about all the new advances bother you, but in my case, I prefer the advances in hair cloning over a solution based on medications, understand that I get angry and feel disappointed when for years I have We have been reading all of Fukuda’s studies and research and when we thought that in the end he was going to take the step to clinical trials, it was not what we expected…, just that. You know I appreciate your comments too.
Biopsies of 80 year old scalp skin do in fact show intact miniaturized hair follicles in the presence of AGA. The issue is whether the reduced arrector pili muscle is an irreversible impediment to full regrowth. I’m beginning to think it is, but if not, a full-ish head of hair on an 80 year old whose been bald since 25 is not out of the question at all.
Well then, sign me up! ;-)
guys, we didnt born pessimistic. Lets not forget that we all want the cure. It is just soo much damn history. i remember the show 99 and introducing finestirade. we all thought at that moment, hairloss would be a thing of the past and i was 14!!!!
well look at me now with NW5 and stil wandering here.
so u tell me shouldnt we deserve a bit of pessimism? and also someone working in pharma. i dont believe any these news unless big pharma signs official deal. because i know they have bilions of billions just want to have a cure… money is no object to them
Big pharma companies don’t want to cure nothing, they just want us to keep on buying medicine for the rest of our life.
If every disease out there would be cure they wouldn’t make any more profit, sounds evil? well guess what … we are evil, my only hope is ET.
Not sure why everyone is so pessimistic here. Tsuji literally said he will start trials in 2024 and from what it seems like, he’ll be able to stick to it. Stemson is going to start clinical trials at the start of 2026. At the very least, we’ll know if we’re close very soon.
Somebody speak Japanese? I would love to understand what the CEO Miho Ogawa is saying…Admin you have some excellent connections to the land of the rising sun!
https://shigototecho.jp/backnumber/ogawa_miho/
Thanks Ben. I turned on the video captions and transcript settings, but both are in Japanse with no English option.
So I messaged Theo (not sure if he knows Japanese) and old friend Fuji Maru. The latter has sadly been inactive since October 2023:
http://hairlosscure100.blog.fc2.com/
Reply from Theo, who says that the below is at least a 90% accurate translation (he put some time into going through the audio and is not a native Japanese speaker):
”
Usually speaks about her life like researcher.
Key notes:
– She became interested in regenerative medicine when she was in highschool and when she saw the Dolly the sheep.
– At that time in Japan there very little research centers/labs for regenerative medicine, and there was one at University of Tsukuba, and she decide to continue her education there, but first year she failed to get at the university.
– Next year Dr. Takashi Tsuji opened his lab and after graduating from University of Tsukuba she worked in Dr. Takashi Tsuji lab.
– In 2012 they present to the world first groundbreaking research in mice for the first time and after that they started searching efficient methods using human imitation
– At the beginning they had problems when they put the seed in the skin automaticaly skin will heal very fast and the hair can not came out from the skin, but after hard work they solved all those problems.
– They proved the safety and effectivness of the whole concept, got all papers and documents for clinical trials and started to recruit people for clinical trials.
– Organ Technologies back then was goverment funded and goverment was responsible for getting funds for clinical trials and with the spread of coronavirus goverment stopped whole project and they failed to get funding. At that time Miho Ogawa received rumors that classes will be stopped, people will get fired ( I didn’t get that part about what she is meaning, about the lab, university, company or)
– She was one that activate the idea again to restart/rebrand the company and had deep conversation with Dr. Tsuji how to move on again.
– Takashi Kondo speaks about how Dr. Takashi Tsuji ides and technology are highly original and that when he was introduced to him by Miho Ogawa, he felt that there is very strong competative edge there.
– Takashi Kondo speaks about his experience in business, venture capital, raising funds and how much he learned over the past years working in this field.
– Miho Ogawa spoked about how Takashi Kondo is very creative, smart and innovative business planner.
– The interviewer is saying that both of them (Ogawa and Kondo) are writing new page in medicine today and asked Ogawa what is her current job.
– Miho Ogawa explained that her current job is to create something that never existed on this world.
“
And Fuji sent me the following:
1) The reason for Organ Technologies’ bankruptcy was that it was unable to raise funds due to the new coronavirus.
2) The company went bankrupt just before the recruitment of subjects.
3) Aim for inexpensive regenerative medicine that anyone can receive.
4) A new technology involves inserting threads into the hair follicle and using the threads as channels to create pores.
Thanks for both translations from Theo and Fuji, excellent work.
Seems like a lot of general blabla and some marketing shenanigans to hype up the company, I‘m fine with that.
Fuji‘s points are very interesting though. „The company went bankrupt just before recruitment of subjects“ is probably the *single most ironic event* in the search for a cure over the past decades. Imagine they would have pulled through just a few more months with a positive result. I am very confident we all would have access to the tech by now…it’s actually laughable.
The term „inexpensive“ in point 3 is a very welcomed change in the rhetoric compared to prior statements.
Btw. threads are being used now by all cloning companies, they obviously all came to the same conclusion.
This is something new potentially.

Jumping back to Pelage for a second…………has the statement below from the Pelage website been removed or am I looking in the wrong place? “Early Phase I clinical data shows statistically significant stem cell activation in the hair follicles after one week of treatment with PP405.”

February 2024 Takashi Kondo interview.
https://www.kenja.tv/president/detke26zb.html
Per “Theo” — They are preparing to establish OrganTech in the USA stock/investment market soon.
New update from OrganTech CEO Takashi Kondo on Linkedin today:
https://www.linkedin.com/posts/takashi-kondo-6b6526111_we-raised-43m-us-dollars-fund-through-private-activity-7186545856114778112-qcM0
New patent approved:
https://chizai-watch.com/p/2024105540
“The present invention relates to a culture medium for efficiently growing epithelial cells that can be used to produce regenerated hair follicle primordia.”
The culture medium comprising a basal medium and at least one of the following (1) to (3):
(1) At least one bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) inhibitor;
(2) At least one fibroblast growth factor; and
(3) Sonic hedgehog (SHH) or an SHH agonist.
Getting a new CEO for a company makes me think that I really wish Elon would focus on hair loss for us. He’s consistently successful in his ventures (besides maybe twitter) due to the way he operates his companies and has battled hair loss. Just wish he would focus on a cure for us regular folk.
Odd. This post is on the front page, but there’s no new update mentioned. A glitch?
Sorry, I forgot to change the date (in blue font) in the new update at the top!
Ah ok. Gotcha!
We’re late 2024. Any signs showing they will be reading in 2026 for the clinics ?
Geez how long is this gonna take Tsuji. Like forever, it’s been 10 years since I‘ve heard of them for the first time, result: nothing.
They probably lost another year just because of mismanagement of Kondo, who announced the start of trials in Q2 2024.
All things considered, this is a business disaster, even if the science is solid.
At one point it will be very difficult to collect venture capital with the history of OrganTech.
I think Stemson is the only contender in this area to be taken serious.
Stemson and Fukuda for me.
Fukuda and Tsuji are en par for me – great scientists, great labs, great research and integrity. But the business-side is just ridiculously bad.
Stemson is different, they are lead by an entrepreneur (Hamilton) and hence are well funded (so far). Plus they realized that they need the existing surgeons to be partners and therefore develop their tech to be compatible. This is crucial for success and guarantees quick rollout.
Not sure if you’ve heard but Stemson are cooked. They literally laid off all of their staff. Tsuji is still the front runner in the hair regeneration space.
Agree to disagree.
And they didn’t let go of „literally all staff“, it was literally half of it. Which is to be expected when the product is mature. Because: there’s nothing to develop anymore. Now it‘s only legal work and financing, which is hard enough.
At one point a CRO will take over the trials – this will only be moderated and overseen by Stemson.
No RL, that’s not what it is lol. When a company is preparing for clinical trials they don’t require the same number of members in their team. Stemson are LITERALLY going into clinical trials in 2026 and are still attending conferences. Where did you get this information from lol, why do so many people (in general) speak with such extreme confidence about subject matters they’re not properly aware of? https://www.nikkei.com/article/DGXZQOSG16AZ50W4A810C2000000/ does this look like they’re “cooked”?
I told you so :)
I hate that you were right :/ I always like to be right.
This stuff is taking forever .
I need hope for my NW 7 and limited donor.
I can’t wait 20+ years for this.
Maybe this is a good thing. Not a dig at Kondo, but he seemed somewhat inexperienced when it came to being a C-suite exec. Hopefully Mr. Shimo & Dr. Yamaguchi’s experience can aid bringing the product to the market. I don’t know about you all but this makes me feel optimistic about OrganTech!
Lmao so they actually have a lab now, maybe the ball will finally get rolling.
They had a lab at Riken for many years, then at another location as Organ Technologies, and now here as Organ Tech.
The holy grail. I really hope this works out. Absolute game changer.
Been following Tsuji and his companies for a good 10 years now.
Let me tell you Rick, they didn’t change the game. And chances are low, that they ever will.
There’s always something in the way: a change of executives, lack of money, Corona,…always something! Just waiting for the next obstacle.
A company which claims to have a finished product with huge potential, which has favorable legal fameworks, superior prerequisites in terms of partners (Kyocera jeez) and a massive headstart overall…hasn’t even started one human trial?
Come on. Forget about it. It’s a joke.
You’ve hit the nail on the head Ben.
They didn’t even mention something about date and timeframe, it is a very disappointing and worrying update. Admin, could you find a way to get some more solid info regarding timeframe from them?
I agree with my colleagues, the only thing this company has shown so far over the years is to sell smoke! They are more interested in selling smoke and false promises rather than the scientific objective, which is to help those of us who have a problem. I can also set up a laboratory tomorrow and say that in 2025 I am going to carry out hair cloning trials and increase the value of my company when I am really not doing anything (:
My gut feeling is that Tsuji is not driven by personal fortune. In a couple of his interviews, he was very keen to make Japan the global hub for regenerative medicine.
Can we get an update from these guys? It seems with Stemson down, this is the only hope. But seems weak.
Dr. Takashi Tsuji presented here in November:
https://shun-convention.jp/jschr2024/program.html
“Hair Regenerative Medicine Advances”
Thank you admin, do you think there’s any chance this ever comes to market?
Also thank you for all the work you’ve done to keep us updated.
We have been waiting for over 10 years. Hope this time it works out and they can take Japan’s shortcut trial route.
Are they still planning on releasing this treatment in 3 generations? With the trials for gen 1 to begin in H1 2025?
Looks like I just had to wait a few days for an answer. Great to hear.
Admin this is HUGE NEWS no? I’m so happy. Maybe that’s what drew Stemson to a close as this was in the pipeline?
I have learnt to not get overexcited anymore :-(
Tsuji previously wanted to bring his cure into the market in 2020, but bad financial planning caused a postponement in trials. Would have made me (HLC2020) seem like the biggest genius ever if it had worked out!
Having said that, this is very encouraging. Especially since favorable Japanese regulations will likely lead to speedier trials compared to the US.
And I always liked the fact that Tsuji seemed to care more about Japan (including medical tourism) than about himself. And that he does not have a finance-oriented background, jumping from one new venture to another.
That’s fair admin.
Reading it though means they have the technology and systems to do it (unlike Stemson) but they just want to see if it’s safe for humans?
Also admin can this be for teeth or is it confirmed for hair?
They already said teeth was good to go for trials (see my Dec 6, 2024 update). So this new application has to be for hair in all likelihood.
It’s this great news following a horrrible news last week, seems like the stemson shutdown made it more exciting for them. I’m happy to also hear that Japanese trials are quicker than the US. How many years does clinical trials usually last in Japan?
Regardless once news comes out that some people in the trials successfully grew hair the world would be talking about it and would help to hurry the process as well as have big investors trying to get a piece of the fortune. I myself would not mind at all traveling to Japan for a cure.
This could be why Stemson shut down too. Maybe news through the grapevine.
Sorry, but this is really stupid.
Stemson shut down because a Japanese start-up applied for a possible permission of a trial next year?
That’s absurd. There’s probably many reasons, but this ain’t.
This is encouraging news, but like you Admin I’ve learnt to hold my breath. I had faith in only a few biotech companies when it came to hair loss and Stemson was one of them, and they surprisingly couldn’t deliver. Let’s see what the future holds (and be hopeful).
Admin this is great news. Obviously we shouldn’t get over excited. But after what happened to Stemson few days ago, we all needed an update like this. Lets hope this application is for hair therapy and not for the teeth. Thank you for keeping us updated.
I‘ll believe it when I see it.
It’s a good sign, but that doesn’t mean they will definitely start human trials, or when.
Good news:) Thank You Admin for your work.
Oh man I how hope this is it. It’s time, honestly. Fingers crossed.
Added another link at the end of the first paragraph in the latest update. Could not find the words “hair”, “tooth”, or “teeth” in the translated document. Theo told me the following about the content:
“Human subjects will be men and women. The entire research/study will be supervised by an outside body (scientists, doctors, employees from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare). The document is currently in effect. In other words, everything will be 100% transparent and we will know how hair/tooth regeneration technology works on humans. All human subjects involved in the trial must be healthy and sign a document that they will be part of the study of their own will.”
Added a second update. Looks like the application has to be related to hair (or both hair and teeth).
As per usual, excellent work Admin. I was wondering if you’d be able to interview the CEO of OrganTech sometime next year (I know it’s difficult to grab a hold of them). Thanks!
Wow great news! if it works it shouldn’t take long to know…we should know before the end of 2025 if it’s able to regenerate hair.
If it works than investors around the world will see the potential no doubt. The name stemson is no longer but the blue print (the patent) whoever owns that alexey terskikh, Geoff or whoever can still go off and create another company and start again and maybe recruit the same people. It’s not the end road! Most of the people on here are coming into this with a negative look. And honestly your comments are not worth a read. I comment this because I’ve been dealing with hair loss since 2015 and I want cure like most and this is something I’m passionate about! Take care!
Hello admin! In hairlosstalk forum they discuss to create a fund for hair loss cure. They refer your name for the advisory board. What do you think about that? I think it’s time to do something practical for this issue and I think it’s a pretty good idea.
Yoda was bald- we would need millions of dollars or we won’t get anywhere.
Who the F is this guy?
lol
A byproduct of Kathleen Kennedy?
Will we have to use finasteride to protect new hairs from dht lol?
Hi Admin,
Could you tell me whether Dr. Tsuji’s technology will work for women?
Thank you.
Hi Cheveux, see my December 19, 2024 comment (the one with a quotation in there).
Hi Admin, what is the most realistic timeline for the hair cloning/stem cell therapy being commercially available? Thank you. Like how many years away do you reckon are we away?
Thank you very much Admin for your reply.
I’m pleased to hear about a future clinical study in men and women.
For the record, I wasn’t too sure about women because in your comment of 6 February 2024 (4:38 PM) it says “from male-pattern alopecia”, hence my doubt.
Admin and Theo thank you guys for posting this wonderful news. I pray That Dr. Tsuji’s work becomes a real solution for balding people. I hope nothing bad happens to where he has to shut down like Stemson Therapeutics. Admin may I ask for your humble opinion on Dr. Tsuji’s work if it can be made commercially to the masses! Admin thank you for your time and help.
Edit: Admin removed all the ALL CAPS letters and corrected the grammar.
Best news of the year Admin! let’s hope they move on the hair multiplication trial quickly this year and are granted permission soon!
Admin, based on the nature of this therapy I think we should know if it works or not relatively in a short period of time. After the initiation of the trials within 6-8 months we should know whether the treatment grew hair or not. Would you agree with my take? Thanks.
I tend to agree with you BUT, my thing is when are they actually going to proceed with the human trials. They said 2025, let’s hope they actually follow through with it finally.
It is the first time that they officially applied for human clinical trials. If the Japanese health ministry approves their application, I see no reason why they shouldn’t start Asap.
I hope so Eko.
It’s true, it’s always the same… I have been noticing intense hair loss for months, and the only solution I have been able to do is to alternate finasteride with dutasteride every day… Let’s at least hope that Shiseido or Hairclone, will help us. allow me to use your technique.
Hi all,
Does anyone know if the trials will be for the DP injection or the follicle primordium?
Thanks.
https://www.nikkei.com/article/DGXZQOSG28BMU0Y5A120C2000000/
Hey admin, please see the above link. OrganTech is starting their human clinical trial for their dental implants within February. Since this trial is already approved and they are starting, their application in December should definitely be in regards to hair regeneration.
Thanks Eko, Theo also just e-mailed me the following links:
https://www.nikkei.com/article/DGXZQOSG28BMU0Y5A120C2000000/
https://www.organ-tech.jp/assets/250129-pressrelease.pdf
I gotta say that’s a very good sign – obviously they are recruiting patients for the teeth project so that’s serious. I hope they follow
up with hair soon after, it would be revolutionary.
By the way: there’s a second startup from Japan which pursues teeth regeneration called Toregem Pharma. They use antibodies, Tsuji is cell-based.
https://toregem.co.jp/en/home_en
Very interesting developments – and probably only the first steps before crucial organs are reproduced.
Do we know the date of their appilcation in regards to hair regeneration?
Hey Jan,
They applied for human clinical trials regarding their hair therapy on 18th of December. Once or if they get the approval, they can initiate the trials. Also, if anyone wants keep up to date regarding organtech, they have an X account from which they share updates. That is how I found out they started their dental trials.
The interesting question is when did they get the approval for teeth trial?
This way we can estimate how many months will pass now for the beginning of the hair trial.
Also, could you send their X account? I didn’t find it.
Copy and paste the following to the search tab on X: 株式会社オーガンテック
First account, its profile picture is OrganTech logo
Why not just paste it Eko :-)
https://x.com/fk8LyxCcJc76389
They did pick a strange account name full of letters and numbers. Hope legit.
Ahah, I tried copying it, but it didn’t let me. Anyway, thanks!
Hi Admin
I have high hopes on OrganTech. When you mentioned that there can be an increase from 200 hairs to 20,000 from your post on 2/20/24, does that mean that is the total possible hair increase or from one session?
Hi Jim, it is from the interview link that is in the post. The exact quote from the now-ex CEO does not elaborate beyond:
“200 hairs can be increased to 20,000”.
Admin what about people with zero donor hair?
Hi Admin, I’m a bit confused. Is Tsuji developing a method where you’d receive an injection at a clinic to stimulate hair growth, or is it a procedure where hair is grown externally and then transplanted by a hair transplant surgeon?
Good comment:
”
I take a slightly different view. IF we could get hair cloning to work, it would be absolutely amazing. Hair transplants aren’t that invasive; you don’t need general anesthesia and people usually heal in ~3 days. And it’s much cheaper now than it’s ever been.
But the issue is the If. People don’t appreciate how complex hair is. The actual strand isn’t important, what’s important is getting all the complex, layered, sophisticated structures that create, maintain, and support hair to grow and work. And all of those are impregnated with intricate networks of tiny capillaries and nerves. The simplified diagrams you see of a hair follicle bulb are a lie. This is what it actually looks like. All those little cell clusters, glands, layers, etc. are all important and the hair won’t grow without them. It’s not just one kind of cell. There are many different kinds of cells, like epithelial cells, dermal papilla cells, myocytes, etc. Obviously we can’t create these structures manually, we need to rely on techniques like tissue engineering or using specialized substrates and then trying to induce your scalp to create these structures around the new papillae. But all of these so far have had limited success.
And then there’s timing. Hair growth requires precise chemical signals given at certain times. Small hormonal differences can cause follicles to die. Male pattern baldness is caused by very small hormonal shifts (remember, normal DHT levels are measured in just nanograms per deciliter!)
And then there’s the immune response. Believe it or not, merely the fact that the cells come from your own body is not at all a guarantee that your immune system won’t attack them. Quite the contrary. Your immune system has mechanisms to e.g. hunt down and destroy cancer cells even though they’re technically your own cells. If your immune system senses that things are even slightly wrong, it will not hesitate the attack and destroy the new cells.
And that brings us to cancer. To get cells to clone, you might need to bypass (or cause to be bypassed) the cellular mechanisms that limit pathological division. But this has the side effect sometimes of causing cells to go cancerous. Oops.
People look at dolly the sheep and think we must surely have the tech for all of this by now. But it’s MUCH easier to clone a sheep than to clone a single hair follicle! Because with a sheep, all you have to do is just clone one cell – the fertilized egg cell (zygote).
I’m not an expert on any of this by any means but from what I know, I feel like it’s very far away. Maybe 10, 20 years away.”
Jan, who is that comment from and can you post a link to the source?
Admin it is a comment of a random dude from reddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/tressless/comments/1icb570/unpopular_opinion_hair_cloning_kind_of_sucks_as_a/
Every big discovery in the history of mankind was once seen as science fiction.
Until it wasn‘t. Fission. Electricity. Automobiles. Planes. Antibiotics. Artificial intelligence. And so on.
Spot on, Ben. Couldn’t have said it better myself. All we can do is be optimistic at this stage.
I wish there was a dislike button on this page, I always want to dislike Jan’s comments :(
You always provide valuable insights indeed.
Not always, but majority, and thank you.
Hey admin, Organtech just shared a presesntation regarding to their tooth treatment, Tsuji also presents just wanted to share the link;
https://youtu.be/1l1LSIhOarE?si=fpKGWQx7bDQb7coe
Thanks! It is their official YouTube channnel. Hope to see more videos soon.
https://m.youtube.com/@OrganTech
Hello Admin,
I’m sending you this message to get a little more clarification on Organtech’s clinical trial application. Indeed,
at the risk of being pessimistic, I have the impression that the clinical trial requested by Organtech concerns tooth regeneration rather than hair regeneration.
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but here’s why I think this way.
First, as you mentioned in the discussion threads, nothing indicates that the clinical trial application will be for hair regeneration. No keywords “hair,” “hairs,” or “teeth” are mentioned.
Second, the company’s YouTube channel only discusses teeth. Don’t you find that strange? Dr. Takashi Tsuji worked on hair regeneration for several years, but today the first video the company is publishing is for teeth.
Third, Organtech’s website doesn’t mention the clinical trial application at all. In principle, when you apply for a clinical trial, one of the first things you do is communicate, but nothing :(
Finally, one last point: funding:
Let’s assume I’m wrong and that, as you said above in the discussion threads, the clinical trial concerns hair and teeth. Is this funding feasible? I don’t think it would cost too much money.
Here’s what I deduce today. It’s clear that Organtech has applied for a clinical trial on humans, but no one knows if it’s for tooth regeneration, hair regeneration, or both. To make matters worse, the video published on YouTube (even though it’s interesting) doesn’t reassure me because it gives the impression that they’re prioritizing tooth regeneration over hair regeneration.
Once again, admin, this is just my feeling. I could very well be wrong (and I hope I am).
If I remember correctly, they’ve been given the green light for tooth regeneration trials and made an application for hair regeneration trials in December.
HairDAO met with their former CEO, who said that he expects trials for hair regeneration to begin by the end of 2025 or 2026.
Hello Hair,
The Clinic in which tooth regeneration trial is conducted is called Tohoku center. This institution is not named among one of the institutions in the December trial application. If the application was regarding to the tooth, this institution should have been in the application.
Name of the institution in the application such as SATO Clinic are specialized in hair treatments. Thats why i believe there is a good chance that this application is about hair regeneration.
Also since tooth clinical trial have already started. They must have applied and approved much before.
RL, may i ask how and when HairDAO met the CEO. Do you maybe have a link so we can check too. Thanks.
Hi Eko,
You can join HairDAO’s discord, the invite link can be found on their Twitter account.
Once you’ve joined you can check the cloning channel for updates, news, insights…etc
IIRC, this meeting took place 10 months ago, info is on the cloning channel of the discord server.
Thank you for the info!
Eko, keep us posted please on any news. Thanks.
Hello,
I would like to thank you for answering my questions. I sincerely hope that this clinical trial will be conclusive.
Hello Admin,
Please see the following link;
https://acibademhairtransplant.com/tsuji-hair-restoration-will-it-thrive-post-transplant/
First I thought there was a good chance that this article was a scam. But Acibadem Hair Transplant is a reputable hospital clinic in Turkey (I personally know people who received HT there)
It is a long article but to summarize it says Dr.Tsuji method has been offered in selected clinics for some time. It says that it is only offered to a limited number of patients and is still in clinical stage. They even posted comments of some patients who have received it. (Which were all positive)
My thinking is maybe they silently already started human clinical trials (best-case scenerio)
Maybe we can ask and try to verify this with OrganTech. Please check it and let me know what you think. Thanks!
I was going to do some research, but then read this quote:
“At Tsuji Hair Clinic, our mission is to help individuals regain their confidence and achieve natural-looking hair restoration results,” says Dr. Hiroji Tsuji, the pioneer behind the Tsuji method.”
Why are they calling Takashi Tsuji as Hiroji Tsuji? Also, I do not think that OrganTech is going to call the clinic Tsuji Hair Clinic. Are you sure this is not an AI created article?
I e-mailed OrganTech but they never answer my emails. They say in the article that the technique was developed in Riken by Dr. Takashi Tsuji. Article step by step explains the treatment. I know Turkish and just e mailed also to the author of the article. Let’s see if they answer. Again if it was any other website I would be sure it was a scam. But this Acibadem is a very well known hospital in Turkey, not only for HT but for many other treatments.
Many sites are adding AI generated articles to boost Google rankings. At least they should have corrected the “Hiroji Tsuji” and “Hiroshi Tsuji” mistakes (they use those names in 4 places), and figure out what to call the “Tsuji Hair Clinic” :-)
There are many other mistakes. e.g., It says “Located in the heart of [City Name]”! They even forgot to replace “city name”.
Please do not email the author these mistakes. Then he will correct them and make it sound like a legitimate article.
Hahaha to the below quote!
Did they pull that off of Alan Bauman’s website with his “At Home PRP”?
Hey admin, i asked this link to the organtech via X. They released an official statement on their website about it. The link for the statement;
https://www.organ-tech.jp/assets/250417-notice-ja.pdf
Thanks! AI generated unchecked articles are everywhere nowadays.
I knew it was fake the moment I saw Tsuji and iPSC together.
Tsuji’s approach to hair regeneration is via DP if I’m not mistaken.
Hair Loss Cure via Twist Inhibition? Convo w/ Claire Higgins Hairy Matters Ep. 9
They mentioned about Organ tech in this podcast
OrganTech is attending a symposium on 18th of April in which they will be talking about their hair regeneration treatment. They shared this information on their official X account.
Nothing new regarding hair, but they have a new channel:
https://youtu.be/1l1LSIhOarE?si=XnXLuDRUWwvfvjAW
This one‘s about their teeth project. Good to see them going forward.
Good lookout Eko.
I can’t find them on twitter could you link it please?
https://x.com/fk8LyxCcJc76389
Thank you my man.
Our company’s Kimie Toyoshima will be giving an oral presentation at Symposium 21 of the 68th General Meeting and Academic Conference of the Japanese Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery The presentation will be entitled “Prospects for Hair Follicle Regenerative Medicine Research” and will talk about hair follicle regenerative medicine using the organ primordium method, which OrganTech is promoting and developing based on the biology of hair follicles ️ Please come and join us on Friday, April 18th
– From OrganTech’s Twitter, translated from Japanese to English. Nice to see a mention of hair after it’s been teeth, teeth, and teeth from them in the last few months!
At least they officially told that they are preparing for the trials. :)
True.
Hello,
Do you have any news about organtech’s presentation at the Symposium 21 conference?
I think some people, including myself, were unable to attend.
It would be nice if you could give us a brief report, please?
Perhaps “Theo” could bless us with some info. He always knows something about OrganTech before anyone else does.
