Article said the therapy had no promise for androgenic hair loss, just AA. For AA people, that's pretty great, without knowing the systemic sides of the drug. But for those of us with typical MPB it is probably not the miracle we're after. Although there is overlap. I experience some AA type of loss and might benefit. Either way, when I see a breakthrough in the understanding of one form of hairloss, I still get excited because the pool of knowledge about mechanisms that are destroying the organ are getting deeper.
