Question

why has no one truly solved male pattern baldness (particularly as the commercial incentives must be huge)

In: Other

Answer 1

1. It’s historically been considered a cosmetic issue by the medical and scientific communities and therefore not a priority like fatal or disabling diseases.

2. The commercial value is not as lucrative as you would think.

3. We have some ideas on how to functionally cure it (hair follicle cloning), but they are beyond our current scientific capabilities.
