Let's focus on the FUNDAMENTALS, not the little details (Topicals)

Bryan:
What interests me far more is what accounts for the FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE between body hair follicles and scalp hair follicles which makes them respond to androgens in an OPPOSITE fashion.

I'm a bit more interested in the fundamental differences in the scalp hair follicles that are more susceptible to hair loss and the scalp hair follicles that are not. Meaning, the sides and back of the head. Body hair seems further apart in relationship to scalp hair (i.e. the characteristics are different).

What amazes me is that there's a follicle that ceases to produce hair right next to the one that will ALWAYS produce hair. If we can identify the differences between the two, then I'd say a cure wouldn't be too far away from that discovery. The general pattern of hair loss should be a clue (the horseshoe). Why hasn't anyone figured out the reason for the pattern? Has there ever been a test where a follicle on the top of the head was transplanted to the side of a balding person? Did it survive?
