I might as well wear a pig costume and go to my vet.
this article contain information about regeneration technology for scars and burn wound , but i cant't figure what is the way of regenerative ( stem cells !!) , can any one explain that ?!!
Hi,
i dont have acne but problems with multiple smaller scars.
I watch this thread for a while.
One thing to keep an eye on happens here in germany at the "Kinderspital Zurich". Its a hospital for children with burn wounds and they are now testing scarfree full thickness skin replacement. The aim is to replace the skin without scars.+
I already contacted them and they are already testing it on humans.
Well thabk tou lapis lazuli. You build up my confidence. In persob i tell you it looks really bad. I once again read that massaging would stimulate collagen growth. What about that? And oh are you a lady that you find my acne scar attractive? Kidding. 
I've seen that picture of your scar and to me it doesn't look bad. A lot of women like "battle scars" like that.
It adds character. But if it really bothers you you shouldn't waste your time with rose hip oil as I think it's not something which will help. What could help is to let it heal with a healing accelerator which is what is around nowadays where you have substances that dermatologists can use to speed up healing. It is a fact that the faster wounds heal the less scarring there is. So that's in my opinion your best bet. To go to a surgeon once you've got the money and talk to them about that. But like I said it doesn't look bad to me. Maybe over time you'll feel differently about your scar and lose the desire to have it changed.
Im getting impatient with the progress of dextran hydrogel
Read between the lines. They ran the experiment, they didn't get the results they hoped for so they are running it again and that's why it is taking so long. I doubt that the hydrogel is going to be the miracle some people think it is.
Hiddycheeks, its not what you, or someone else thinks it is, or subjectively frames it to be, using their belief... It is not about authority. It is what parallel process is scientifically expected after using testable methodology... It got complete regeneration, and this was tested against a control that behaves the same in all tissues. This highlights quite clearly there is a parallel process going on, this is scientific expectancy.
Baseless assumptions. The DEX/AE HG research was said to be at its "halfway" point in February. And it is not the only ongoing research, the Lab has at least half a dozen concurrent projects that have been submitted throughout 2014, and most likely several more: http://web1.johnshopkins.edu/gerecht/publication/
Even if they have completed the protocol, it is highly unlikely that the results would be published already. Peer reviewed papers take time to be published, for example, one of Geretch Lab's most recent papers (titled "Hypoxia-inducible hydrogels") was submitted for review in March 13 (when the DEX/AE research was still in its "midpoint") and was not published until June 9. If it was submitted in March, that means that research concluded (at least) a few months earlier, so it's ridiculous to expect that something that was "halfway" done four months ago would already be published. Having your research accepted and published is a process that involves several experts, each one with different commitments.
Of course, if anyone is too impatient, he/she could try contacting the investor: https://www.facebook.com/george.davis.3152?ref=ts&fref=ts&refid=12
PD- On a related note, the DEX/AE Hydrogel's success depends on its ability to accelerate angiogenesis and the Lab's latest paper discusses using Hydrogels to promote angiogenesis in cancer tumor models. Despite being a spin-off, that remains within the same line of research.
Recell (Avita medical) is available in Europe, Australia and Japan, but still not in USA, FDA has a lot of bureaucracy and hurdles this is why the hydrogel tests are taking so long. Even for veterinary purposes will take time.
We are on the same boat here, this cure is gonna be our salvation

That is true. However, ReCell's use of skin samples and cell harvesting make the process more complicated for them. I believe that ReCell was originally treated as an experimental drug/minimally invasive procedure and remember reading something about it entering Phase III trials. It was not until recently (April 2014) that it was reclassified as a Class III device and received its Investigational Device Exemption.
The DEX/AE HG is likely going to be classified as a Class II device (we have seen the team say so), and that would mean a shorter path for approval. No Class III premarket approval or Phase I/III trials would be needed, only a detailed safety trial and the relevant special controls (labeling, performance standards, etc.)
I write it again because no one seemed to pay attention:
In Switzerland there is also a project going on about scar free healing. At the "Kinderspital Zurich" they seem to have invented a skin replacement with all functions of the normal skin. They write that it should heal without scars.
I contacted them and they already test it on childs and in about 1 year they will test it on adults (Though i dont understand why you test something on childs first. But atleast they are already testing it on humans, what is a big step)
Look at this page:
That project will lead to excellent skin grafts. Functionally better than anything available now. However, they still have to deal with regenerating new skin appendages: http://io9.com/breakthrough-could-lead-to-functional-artificial-skin-1512390126
I did see it when you first posted it. I'll take another look at it.

waiting desperately for the results as most are here. this could be a real cure, or it could be a flop. i'm not getting my hopes up, but lets wait for the results and analyze them carefully. it could be better than any other treatment out there. might beat subcision, skin grafts, dermabrasion, needling, lasers, peels etc. they are creating a cellular matrix that recruits cells to reform the structure faster. this is 2nd generation medicine. treating the cause not the symptom. might not be 100% complete scar free generation but it could be a big step forward for people suffering with scars.
FYI, Gemstone (the startup that is funding the DEX/AE HG trials) just announced that one of Gerecht Lab's alumni has joined their Technical Team. His name is Matt Davenport and he is a chemical and biomolecular engineer. In April, Gemstone announced that they would be hiring engineers this summer and it seems that they are accomplishing that goal.
The fact that they are hiring is a good sing. It's CEO, George Davis, has noted that their current research is based on the DEX/AE HG (as their foundation technology) and they would not be hiring staff if the trials were flopping.
