Ciao, ho controllato qua e la' ed ho trovato un link molto interessante

Vi riporto il testo per chi se la cava con un po' d'inglese
While Rogaev said he doesn't "think this mutation is common," it's possible there are a number of variations of the gene that are found in the general population and may have differing effects on hair loss. "The polymorphisms of this gene are for future study, he said."
And a cure for baldness? Not impossible, Rogaev said. "I think one of the advances in this study is that it predicts very simple molecules might be used in the treatment of hair loss," he said.
Another expert agreed.
"It's too early to tell whether the gene plays a role in ordinary baldness," said Dr. George Cotsarelis, an associate professor of dermatology and director of the hair and scalp clinic at the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia.
"The gene itself is found in a small group of people," he noted. "Whether it is relevant to common baldness isn't clear." But the fact that the enzyme is produced by a gene found in normal hair follicles holds open the possibility that it might play a role in everyday baldness, Cotsarelis added.
"I view this as another piece of puzzle," he said. "It certainly is important for the families that have it, and to help us understand hair growth better. Whether it is applicable to normal hair loss just wasn't addressed in this paper."
Beh...si dice che si e' trovato una relazione fra la caduta dei capelli ed alcune anomalie che si notarano per alcuni gruppi di famiglie aventi problemi con una crescita anomale dei capelli...un esperto del settore dice, e' molto presto per dire che esiste una vera e propria relazione regolare con la caduta dei capelli, tuttavia si vede che esite qualcosa...
Secondo me siamo agli albori della cosa, pero' qualcosa c'e', un po' come dire al di la' del sistema solare ci sono altre forme di vita, dobbiamo trovarle...per questo c'e' l'enterprise di cui io sono il capitano, modestamente.
