i read this on several news sites on german news papers. they found the actual cause for hairloss and are looking into a way to prevent/calculate the protein tgf-1 better.
until then we have to cope with hair systems and transplants

„Researchers at the University of California Riverside (UC Riverside) have identified a single protein that seems to control when hair follicles die. Armed with this new information, it might eventually be possible to reverse the process and stimulate hair regrowth.
TGF-beta has two opposite roles,” said Qixuan Wang, co-author of the study. “It helps activate some hair follicle cells to produce new life, and later, it helps orchestrate apoptosis, the process of cell death.”
The team found that these two opposing forces were regulated by the levels of the protein. With just the right amount of TGF-beta, cell division is activated, stimulating growth of the follicle. But if too much is present, it tips the cells into apoptosis, leading to loss of hair follicles and, as a result, baldness.“
