Scientists successfully use arthritis drug to regrow completely bald man's hair
The 25-year-old unnamed patient suffered from near total head and body hairlessness due to the disease alopecia universalis
Yale researchers administered the rheumatoid arthritis drug tofacitinib citrate
The study was a near total success with the patient growing the first scalp and facial hair he'd had in seven years
Yale scientists have successfully used an arthritis medication to fully regrow the head and body hair of a almost totally hairless 25-year-old man.
Researchers administered the drug tofacitinib citrate to the unnamed patient, who suffered from the autoimmune baldness disease alopecia universalis.
Within eight months, the man had regrown scalp and facial hair he'd not had in seven years.
'The results are exactly what we hoped for,' said Brett A. King, M.D., senior author of the paper, published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology. 'This is a huge step forward in the treatment of patients with this condition.'
