imagine there would be a medication that basically could cure hairloss once and for all:
and now imagine they knew about this cure since 2008 but didnt push through with it because only male would profit..
how many baldcels commited suicide since 2008? how many lifes could have been saved?
now imagine how many baldcels commited suicide since 2008, bayer has blood on its hands
This is the best available model for human male pattern baldness. Stumptailed macaques have androgenetic alopecia like humans. They go bald when they hit puberty, and finasteride prevents this. All treatments that have been tested on both humans and macaques have similar efficacy in both, so that's a very good sign that this drug will work in humans too. What makes this treatment so promising is the amount of hair that the macaques regrew in this trial, and the quality of that hair. No other treatment has come close to growing this much hair in stumptailed macaques. Not even the combination of finasteride and minoxidil could come close. Additionally, the results last longer than other treatments. The macaques were injected subcutaneously with the antibody once every two weeks for 28 weeks, after which they had nearly full regrowth. Even after 4 years without treatment the macaques were still well above baseline. Other trials measure hair weight or the number of vellus hairs regrown. These measurements on the graphs below represent "thick terminal hairs", and you can see by the trichoscope image that miniaturized hairs returned to full thickness. Additionally, results did not plateau during the treatment period, so if treatment were continued for longer than 6 months they very likely would have had even more regrowth.

The antibody was developed by Bioinvent, and licensed to Bayer in 2008. They conducted a phase I trial. During the preclinical work for this trial it was noticed that the drug increased hair growth in mice. Bayer, however, was not interested in pursuing a drug for male pattern baldness. They had begun an initiative to focus on women's health issues.

HMI-115 PRLR antibody: The Most Promising Treatment Ever
Edit: This comes up over and over again so I'm pinning it to the top. These are quotes from two studies explaining why your prolactin levels have nothing to do with hair loss. dopamine, known as an inhibitor of PRL pituitary secretions, has no effect on PRL or PRL-R expression in human HFs...
