There are 2 pages to this link and I wasn't too excited until I clicked on the 2nd page and saw who the researchers are.

Re: New Intercytex report on a graft model for hair development
I hope that it does work. I noticed that Intercytex updated their website again. They gave a re-cap on their products and where things stand as of the end of 2007. When trials are going on, the news is always good until they unexpectedly bomb out.

The amount of hair that you lose in the shower is not a good indication of hair loss. Some people shed more hair than others. The problem of hair loss has to do with regrowth. If you are not growing back the hair that you lost, then eventually noticeable thinning will take place. People's hairlines ...
