A new study by Yale University has found a potentially revolutionary new treatment for the rare "whole baldness" condition known as alopecia universalis. Read about it here.
Yale scientists conducted an eight-month off-label trial of the FDA-approved arthritis drug tofacitinib citrate on a 25-year old male alopecia universalis patient. The patient, who had no hair on his scalp, face or body when the trial began, grew a full head of hair, as well as eyebrows, eyelashes and other body hair. No noticeable side effects were reported during the study.
