Earlier this year, scientists stumbled upon a potential new treatment for hereditary-patterned baldness, the most common cause of hair loss in both men and women worldwide. It all started with research on a sugar that naturally occurs in the body and helps form DNA: the ‘deoxyribose‘ part of deoxyribonucleic acid.
