If I didn’t do such a cunning and undetectable comb over I might find this interesting.

The good news is, this may lead to a cure for baldness. The bad news is, that it may lead to a baldness pill...which could possibly haunt us with the same frequency as the Viagra/Cialis/Levitra commercials.

1. New drug approval takes 11 years, typically

2. Would be the first approved gene-based therapy —longer than 11 years, then, most likely

3. Companies would try to structure the treatment so that doses would be required forever

Still very interesting, of course

a mammalian development professor

For a moment I thought this said "mammarian development professor"...

I look at it as: "Less hair to comb, more face to wash."
I don't recall who said that first, but he was right.

There comes a point in a mans life when you stop praying for a cure for baldness, and start praying for something that would get rid of the hair starting to grow where no hair has any purpose. I'm there.
