no one can explain how hydrogel works, this is my,fear. anyway, this year if they test on animals, we have the pics of that test? i mean, if this is serious thing, they must upload the pictures of th...

Not about the hydrogel but interesting: and a better link:

I'll trying asking John Fini and Dr. Harmon again. Dr. Sun probably won't be able to update regularly because he's not there anymore and he'd be getting everything second hand. I don't really want to ...

So after some debating (due to the foolishness on the board), I've decide to let you guys know that I have talked to Dr. Sun. He told me that while he has moved on from JHU, they are planning to test ...

can we please turn this thread back to hydrogel instead of debating metaphysical systems. Completely agree. Does anyone have updates regarding the hydrogel? I haven't seen chuckstonchew post in a w...

Anyone have an update that's pertinent as to where the hydrogel stands regarding funding and Harmon's work with the JHU lawyers?

Okay, here's my prediction, and I won't even fucking write another goddamn thing on this thread until Feb. 2014: NOTHING WILL HAPPEN WITH THIS AND SCARRING IN HUMANS FOR ANOTHER 20 YEARS. NOTHING. IF...

Maldition, I respect your opinions, but they're just that. Nothing you say is backed up by any sort of evidence or reasoning. I'm sorry that you feel so cheated by the system and that a way to regener...

There are tons of hydrogels on the market for various applications but the specific one were talking about has its own "recipe" and is the only one that has achieved scar free healing in any mammal. A...

  i hate to burst the bubble on this fundraising initiative, but don't you think that if the scientists demonstrated that this hydrogel technique showed real promise there'd be like a world o...

chuckstonchew, I'm amazed by the progress you've made and definitely want to help any way I can with crowdfunding or anything else. Also, to whoever created the FB page, good work! indiegogo, kicks...

chuckstonchew, here's a link to a PDF document that goes over the parameters of the International Patent Cooperation Union. So, what I gather from it is that a group of countries agreed to form t...

Great find wentworthwhile. In looking over the documents section of the patent I noticed that it was filed on June 30th, 2011 and just a day ago a preliminary report was issued...My god, talk about a...

Hey, just wanted to let everyone know that I emailed Dr. Guoming Sun with Gerecht's lab and got a response. I think chuckstonchew had said he was let go before but it looks like he's back! Or at lea...

I'm in agreement with scarminator. No way it makes any sense for this to get suppressed. If the cosmetics industry could promise absolutely scar free procedures think about how many more people woul...

@mars123, there are actually several medically focused crowdfunding sites. Off the top of my head I know there is petridish.org. I had found two or three others earlier and posted them on this messa...

@maldition, I respect your opinion that the research concerning the hydrogel might be a scam and agree that any news when it comes to scar-free healing should be met with skepticism. However, Johns H...

Good find chuckstonchew! Maybe the hydrogel isn't the only hope for a solution in the near future. And that was in China so it will probably move quicker. @Maldition, on decorin I actually contact...

vladislav, I know SBIR is a government run program but my point was that venture capitalists fund companies, not university's conducting research. By setting up a company through SBIR, or other means...

trendycat, while I agree that Kickstarter has more exposure I don't think that's a reason to not try with indiegogo. For one thing even if you don't meet your goal you get something if you pick their...

trendycat, You can't use Kickstarter for things that are non-creative (music, film, art, technology etc.). Since this falls under medical research we wouldn't be allowed to do it on there. indiegogo...

seabs135, I totally agree that it's frustrating for people to ignore this thread but have to admit that the string of failures in recent years would be enough to make anyone pessimistic about anything...

You know what? I did until 6 years ago. In that very city. I still have friends and family there so I can make it back if need be. My mother-in-law got her PhD from Johns Hopkins so I know some pe...

Yup, that was me. And still want to do it if needed.

Very interesting, chuckstonchew. I was not aware that indiegogo allowed funding for medical research but that's great that it does! Most of the medical crowd funding sites are just getting started a...
