I can't find the direct source but i'm sure someone on here has it, it's in one of the Gemstone press releases I believe. If you want just look the FDA law up, it takes up to 1 year for devices. This IS how long hydrogel would take since it does not contain any drugs. Maybe a little longer before it reaches actual clinical use, but nothing near 8-10 years. Let's just hope it actually works! I want an update.

I don't even think it's that people don't take it seriously. I think it's that people are led to believe that it's impossible, which is most likely untrue.

I mean, this is freakingly huge
Take this with a grain a salt. I remember reading about another gel that achieved hair regrowth but it was like very patchy spare hair growth and not your average hair growth. But I guess something is better than nothing.

take a look at this article
" In this study, using loss- and gain-of-function rodent fetalwoundmodels, we identified that fibromodulin (Fm) is essential for fetal-typescarlesswound healing. In particular, we found that loss of Fm can eliminate the ability of early-gestation fetal rodents to heal without scar. Meanwhile, administration of fibromodulin protein (FM) alone was capable of restoringscarlesshealingin late-gestation rat fetal wounds, which naturally heal with scar, as characterized by dermal appendage restoration and organized collagen architectures that were virtually indistinguishable from those in age-matched unwounded skin".
I think sunogel is prepping for the clinical trial.. however, no timeline was ever mentioned to me..

Why are you so concerned about sunogel? seems like Gemstone is on track for clinical trials, and that is great news.
Hey guys, check this out: http://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/health/Wild-silk-protein-helps-in-faster-scar-free-healing-of-wounds/article16737907.ece . Not sure about the source but it is interesting nonetheless. The protein fully regenerated full thickness wounds in rabbits with glands and hair growth. Seems like things are really starting to come together for scarless healing.
mjg,it's best to put some faith in as many people as we can, like the people in the article you linked. As long as there is a reason for believing they can accomplish what you're looking for. That's why I'm interested in sunogel, I want to put them on a list of potential future cures, but there's literally nothing concrete about them. You're bound to be disappointed if you think Gemstone or any one company can do it, because there will likely be numerous failures until it's done.
3 years away from human trials. The technology is not realizable yet though either which they don't directly
say in this article. I would say clinical application at your local cosmetic surgeon maybe 10-15 years? Maybe....

lol I guess that's the optimism of youth as you are truly a college kid. 10-15 years before clinical application (clinical as in at your doctor's office)

I have to say you are completely off man. 3d printing of simple tissues of skin, bone, and cartilage will happen in the near future. It will not take 10-15 years because FDA approval does not take that long for this particular procedure. We should see this within 5 years, and this isn't even including the hydrogels being marketed. All that matters is whichever one works and comes fastest. We will probably see much more advanced structures than skin 3d printed in a 10-15 year time frame.
