Story summary
  • Deoxyribose sugar may treat male pattern baldness, as a mouse study shows it stimulates blood vessel growth and hair regrowth similar to minoxidil.

  • The sugar is inexpensive and stable, making it a promising candidate for further studies.
  • This is early-stage research in which human results remain unproven.
