I hear ya. But men get all the research anyway. Hey if this turns out to be a thing, great. I just have to think in the country with Hair Club For Men there’s been more than a little money thrown at pattern baldness so the comment that it was “under-researched” seemed pretty far-fetched.

I believe the commenter was being sarcastic, which is why “under-researched” was in quotes. They also followed it up with how they felt it was unlikely.

No the quotes were mine. The actual quote from the article was

If the deoxyribose gel also proves effective in humans, it could be used to treat alopecia or even stimulate hair, lash, and eyebrow regrowth following chemotherapy.

"This is a badly under-researched area, and hence new approaches are needed," argue the authors.
