Nothing new and not related to Androgenetic Alopecia but they are making progress testing cream vs. pill.

"Alopecia areata may cause spotty hair loss or complete loss of scalp hair, eyebrows, eyelashes and all other body hair."

So theyve managed to cure a condition that can result in not just complete loss of scalp hair but other body hair as well as opposed to just male and female pattern loss. In other words, they've managed to reverse not one but three hair loss conditions even more devastating and, until now, just as brutally difficult as Androgenetic Alopecia for scientists to solve: Alopecia Areata, Alopecia Totalis, and Alopecia Universalis. Everywhere a person should have hair, those test patients now have it. This was considered unthinkable ten years ago.

Three down, one to go?

I think it's just a matter of a few years before Androgenetic Alopecia is effectively treated with a topical cream or solution.
