DAMMIT!!!
I thought this was going to be a THE cure for normal DHT-based Male-Pattern Baldness.
-But NOooOOOOooo!!! :(
Okay, okay, okay; it’s no less impressive that the patient in question, who had both Plaque-Psoriasis and (just like our old .000001%-er pal John D. Rockefeller) Total Hair-Loss on his entire body, -was cured of Both conditions by the drug-wizardry cooked up by Yale’s scientists.
Not only that but so far…
So if assaults by freeze-dried saw palmetto berries and the butt-kickers at The Salk Institute weren’t enough, Angela Christiano and her team have come up with a few new tweaks to the standard method for regrowing those stubborn hair cells.
Normally, a patch of hair-cells called Dermal Papillae are extracted from a skin-patch and then if all goes well, duplicated in a lab.
However most of the time, this process doesn’t go well for reasons we don’t yet completely understand.
But in Angela’s new twist, instead of just laying the cells out flat…
Now if they could just use the discovery to make some fancy topical pomade.
-Because through their experiments, the team at UPenn discovered not only the elevated presence of this protein under areas of skin that are bald,
But that if they applied it to a normally-hairy area, that area eventually went bald, too.
It wasn’t some odd outlier-type of baldness either…

Sorry Ladies.
Your love affair with George Clooney, LL Cool J., and Captain Jean-Luc Picard is now at an unfortunate end.
Scientists at NYU, Yale and others have hornswaggled some near-Jesus-grade research on a pre-discovered, pre-studied, and now increasingly sexy protein called WNT,
-which will heretofore be referred to as -WANT!- by all the sexy laydeez.
Why? -W(a)NT! looks to pack a 1-2 punch for both hair color and growth Re-Gen…

Chalk up another awesome discovery in science to what?
Intent? -Nah. Too easy. Too straightforward. Makes us humans look [way too much] like we know what we’re doing.
ACCIDENTS FTW!!!
Those rockstar-bada**es at The Salk Institute have done it again!
The best part?…
Our friends over at Hair Loss Buddy report on a Hair-Regrowth Contest held in England over the course of 1 year.
The winner of the contest was someone taking freeze-dried Saw Palmetto Berries.
And as only HLB seems to do, he takes it to the next level with another supplement even more powerful than Saw Palmetto used for the same purpose….
