Summary:
- Researchers have discovered a potential new treatment for baldness that involves a common sugar compound called alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG).
- AKG was found to stimulate the growth of hair follicles in laboratory experiments, suggesting it could be used to promote hair regrowth in people experiencing hair loss.
- The study provides hope for a new, non-invasive approach to treating baldness, which affects millions of people worldwide, especially as they age.
