Guys world wide can soon rejoice
« on: September 01, 2012, 11:22:51 am »
They are already talking with pharmaceutical firms about making the product, which would work by stopping the effects of a single guilty enzyme.

US-based dermatologists announced earlier this year that they had found that an enzyme, called prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), instructed follicles to stop producing hair.

They identified it by screening 250 genes implicated in hair loss.

George Cotsarelis, head of dermatology at Pennsylvania University, said the one responsible for levels of PGD2 played “the major role”.

He said he was now talking with several drugs firms about creating the anti-baldness product.

Sounds great, but does this enzyme do anything else? Could there be side effects?

Side effects include spending excess time in front of mirrors, delusions of acceptable appearance, and continuing degeneration of brain function.

And here I thought it was going to be some kind of pill to inhibit sperm production. Or something else sex-related.

Me, too.  I would be so motherfucking happy if they made a male version of The Pill.  I'd eat those motherfuckers like candy.

I think it just prevents hair from being lost, not having them regrow.
I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

Why only guys, TC? Women lose their hair too you know. And it's not that uncommon either.
