and the appearance is very important, why the scientist don`t develop a cure for hair loss to improve the quality of life of men?

It's amazing isn't it? We can put people on the moon, clone organs and grow them in a lab, develop vaccines for polio and lots of other diseases, but we still can't get hair to grow on a bald head.
I think there are a few things going on here:
1. Pattern baldness is found only in humans and a few other primates. This makes it very hard to do animal studies that can be extrapolated to humans.
2. Baldness is considered to be "just cosmetic." Men with baldness get little sympathy and are supposed to just accept it. Baldness research doesn't attract all sorts of grants and government money the way things like cancer and AIDS do. -
But if Cancer and AIDS get so much more attention than MPB, then why is there no cure for Cancer or for AIDS?
Actually if you think about, MPB treatments are the one's that are trumping Cancer and AIDS treatments. Look what's ahead with Histogen and ACell. Very promising stuff.
As of now, Cancer, AIDS, and MPB, are all on the same boat: All science has done is suppress Cancer/AIDS, and halt hair loss, unless you get a hair transplant or are very lucky to regrow hair with Fin/Minox. But isn't it the same with Cancer and AIDS? If you get lucky, you can beat it.
Where you do have a good point is, if government was more involved in a MPB cure, this forum would have not even exist because every one would have had hair on their head. This is considering how far scientists are in the hair loss field with the little to no help there is for this field.
Plus, like some one else mentioned in this forum, "Cures are bad for business". They probably wanna milk us out for as long as possible before they go to the next phase of hair treatment, which is most likely not even a cure, just another treatment to spend money on.Comment

Because they're difficult problems with no easy solutions. That cancer and AIDS have no cure despite all the money thrown at them so far in no way demonstrates that something like MPB, which has had far less money thrown at it, has any easier a solution.
Actually, cancer at least has some effective treatments, which is more than one can say for MPB, so it isn't really the case that the latter is "trumping" the former. The very best treatment for MPB available now simply slows down its progress, and that's it.Actually if you think about, MPB treatments are the one's that are trumping Cancer and AIDS treatments
Or maybe they're dead ends. Nobody really knows yet.Look what's ahead with Histogen and ACell. Very promising stuff.
You can't possibly know that. If all the money and attention ever thrown into cancer and AIDS research had instead been devoted to hair loss there's no guarantee that a "cure" for the latter would have been found by now. For all we know, regrowing hair lost to MPB may be no more possible than bringing a dead person back to life is.Where you do have a good point is, if government was more involved in a MPB cure, this forum would have not even exist because every one would have had hair on their head.
False statements don't become any less false through repetition.Plus, like some one else mentioned in this forum, "Cures are bad for business".Comment
