Transplanted hair receding years after HT.

You know I think it's sort of a three-fold dilemma. First, there's just not enough research done especially in genetic dispostions and even gene therapy. It's so complex that doctors in general just don't have the clinical information to really understand MPB and how to control or manipulate the genes to either regress hairloss or stop it altogethor.

Second, there has not been enough demand from patients to substantiate the research and even the area of specialization to support a licensed physician's liveliehood and practice. In other words, there's just no money in it until we can change the insurance industry to include treating hairloss in one's health insurance policy both medicinally and surgically.

That in effect would open up this field however that leads to the third point. There's far more money in HT surgery than there is in hairloss medications.

Present day however there is far far more reserach being done than there was in the past 50 years and we keep reading its closer and closer...
