Astressin-B
Does anyone think the new drug called astressin-B has any possible benefits to regrow hair? I am surprised no one has asked any question about the new finding made last month. Researchers claim that mice grew hair when injected with the drug astressin-B, how far is this true and how long would it take for the treatment to be available.
Thanks
Actually, we did write about this last month.
Quick recap — researchers discovered that a compound (astressin-B) that blocks the action of a stress hormone called corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) was able to regrow hair in genetically altered mice. There isn’t enough information available to discuss anything beyond what was published. It is all hopeful, but the FDA process will take years before safety and effectiveness is proven in humans.
