Did UCLA Just Cure Baldness?
How much are the alternatives, like finasteride or follicle implants? It will probably need to be somehow competitive with those

Finasteride is pennies a day, but doesn't do 1 percent of what this new drug might.

Let's not forget that Finasteride has horrific side effects for men and can induce permanent / major sexual dysfunctions and drops in libido.

I gave finasteride (and dutasteride) a try in my 20s. It didn't work, but I'm lucky that I didn't end up suffering any of those side effects you mention. I was definitely reckless in taking it without really considering the negative possibilities.
