Newcastle Resources Ltd. is pleased to announce that it has entered
into a share exchange agreement (the "TrichoScience Agreement"),
dated October 29, 2010, with TrichoScience Innovations Inc. ("TrichoScience")
and certain accepting shareholders of TrichoScience (the "Accepting
Shareholders") which represent a minimum of 55% of the issued and
outstanding shares of TrichoScience.
The Company concurrently entered into a share
exchange agreement (the "583885 Agreement"), dated October 29, 2010,
with 583885 B.C. Ltd. ("583885") and the shareholders of 583885 (the
"583885 Shareholders") including its principal shareholder David
Hall.
TrichoScience Innovations Inc. is a life sciences company that has
developed RepliCel(TM), a natural hair cell replication technology
that has the potential to become the world's first non-surgical,
permanent solution for androgenetic alopecia and general hair loss
in both men and women. Patents for the TrichoScience technology have
now been issued by the European Union and Australia and are pending
in other major international jurisdictions.
The RepliCel(TM) procedure has been developed over the past nine
years by the company's recognized research scientists and medical
experts - specialists in the fields of hair growth, hair biology and
dermatology.
RepliCel(TM) is based on autologous cell implantation technology
that replicates a patient's hair cells from their own healthy hair
follicles and, when reintroduced into areas of hair loss, initiates
natural hair regeneration.
583885 is a private consulting company controlled and managed by
David Hall which is currently providing management consulting
services to TrichoScience.
About Trichoscience
New Hair from Replicated Cells
TrichoScience Innovations has developed and patented a non-surgical
hair cell restoration procedure based on the clinical replication of
hair root cells and their re-introduction into areas of hair loss.
The treatment has the potential to become a safe and effective
non-surgical treatment for pattern baldness and other forms of hair
loss in both men and women.
Developed by Renowned Specialists
The TrichoScience procedure was developed over the past ten years by
recognized research scientists and medical experts specializing in
the fields of hair growth, hair biology and dermatology. Visit our
Medical Team page for more information.
Clinical Trials
The TrichoScience proprietary hair cell replication procedure has
shown promising results in laboratory test models. Based on these
results, the TrichoScience team has started development of a human
clinical trial program. The team is on track to start in Europe on
their first-in-human research protocol in the second half of 2010.
Note: TrichoScience is not recruiting subjects for the trial program
and cannot accept volunteers by email or through other
communications. Study recruitment is conducted by an independent
party and their contact details cannot be provided by TrichoScience.
Procedure
Although the TrichoScience procedure employs leading edge science in
cell replication, the mechanics of the procedure are relatively
simple.
About 10-20 healthy hair follicles are extracted from the back of a
patient’s scalp. Certain cells from these follicles are then
isolated and replicated in a laboratory through the TrichoScience
proprietary hair cell replication procedure.
The replicated cells
are then injected back into the patient’s bald scalp. Laboratory
models have shown that when these types of cells are injected back
into the skin; they rejuvenate damaged hair follicles and induce the
formation of new hair follicles.
While long-term research on this technology is still under
development, it is expected that these injections will have a long-
lasting effect on hair growth.
