    Firstly, this wonder pill is for alopecia areata and not AGA. Secondly, this is more or less the same drug which was talked about in previous threads, and is basically an immunosuppressant which is used for rheumatoid arthritis and cancer treatments. Finally I just want to add as a suggestion, not to obtain sources from any type of news websites, because they are usually inaccurate in their headlines and present the same information over and over just to obtain more views.

    the 5 years timeline bullshit talk is the standard message which is used in such "hairloss breakthrough" headlines. the same bla bla as usual which pops up every three months.

    This article is crap. It reads like it was written by someone completely uninformed on all the relevant issues. The writer fails to distinguish between alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness) and just talks about the "disease" of alopecia. The quality of press coverage of these things outside of the hair loss community is really quite low, and in my opinion, completely unreliable. Notice how every time there is any new discovery related in any way to hair loss, we get sensationalist headlines along the lines of "cure for baldness discovered!"

    Meh, to be fair the quality of research from AGA sufferers isn't much better than the writers of the articles.

    This recent patent suggests that this class of drugs work on MPB too...

    The article is from the Daily Express newspaper. The Express is a downmarket imitation of the infamous Daily Mail(!), that fact-adverse and scientifically-incompetent rag, so yes it is crap. These two papers spew crap often, they push climate change denial, in the past they publicised the 'vaccines cause autism' scare, neither give a shit about writing accurate articles on science-related topics.
