just watched a BBC news clip, Claims that a new wonder medication is being lisenced as we speak to block prostaglandin D synthase (PDG2). PDG2 Is apparently present in any area's of the scalp that have less or no hair. If the proteine can be removed then the hair will return.
Of course DHT caused by testosterone causes the hair folicle to become sensitive and thus the balding. However with the PDG2 protein out of the equitation this will not result in balding.
By the sounds of it. This is all very recent news. Made from very closely guarded research. Until recently.
The problem is, The medication is only now being developed.
However read this online report, It states PDG2 blocking formula is currently on the market as Asthma medications.
I havn't had time to research any further. However will be doing so in the near future.
For now, Anyone know what Asthma medications in specific it is that blocks the PDG2 protein??
Anyone who wants to read the report can look it up on BBC's webpage or PM me. (I can't post links as a new member)
Or switch over to BBC World news. They repeat these things for days usually.
Theres a link the the research publications in that news story as well.
