Say what?

A research team from Yeditepe University in Turkey recently announced that they will be launching a hair growth cream within the next two months. The team is headed by Prof. Fikrettin Sahin, head of the Department of Genetics and Bioengineering at Yeditepe University. The news was made public last Friday during a press conference that was held at Yeditepe University. The product reportedly contains molecular derivatives of stem cells taken from newborn foreskins.

Say what?

For those new to the subject, that might sound a little strange. This is actually not the first time that foreskins have been used as the source of a hair growth product. Histogen has been using fibroblast cells from newborn foreskins for some years now. As funny as it may seem, these cells are targeted for a few specific reasons: 1) The foreskin tissue will otherwise be discarded if not used for scientific practice and there is a continual supply of them . 2) Any type of stem cell in a newborn baby is highly potent because there is still a lot of growing and generation to be done in the tissue and organs of a baby.

A video on a Turkish website showed the presentation from Yeditepe University President Bedrettin Dalan and Prof. Fikrettin Sahin (this video has since been taken down). In the video, Dalan’s opening speech is followed by a slideshow presentation from Prof. Sahin which includes some results photos starting at the 5:00 min mark. I was happy to see that there were several news cameras on sight to capture the event, it seems like substantial news for the university. The end of the video shows a glimpse of what the product looks like. I want one.

These results look great. Realistic and substantial. They are even similar to the excellent results we saw in a female Histogen patient.
Another case showing good realistic results. Yes, there is a styling difference in the pictures, but I do notice a coverage improvement especially at the crown area.
