A few months ago, I saw on tv an evening news segment that showed a current
study to see if baldness can be reversed by medication.  It seems
there was a medicine (for internal use) that hadn't been too successful in
treating some malady.  However, researchers found out (by accident, I think)
that when applied externally, it promoted significant hair growth.  It had
been tested on monkeys, and now has attracted a large number of human
volunteers who suffer from baldness.  It seems to be working well so far in
the early studies.  

Are there any net users from the medical community that could shed some more
light on this current study?
