I think this was less about male pattern baldness, and more on the mechanism of acute alopecia. I used to get steroid shots in my scalp as the only real treatment. The thinking at the time, was that it was suppressing my immune system. This is saying it may have been something other than that. Is my read.

Combined with the FDA just approving an alopecia drug, exciting time for folks with this. I'm less worried about having passed it to my daughters, now.
