Scientists have developed a new treatment for baldness.

The new treatment consists of a sugar gel that showed strong results in lab mice, promoting regrowth of thick, long fur in areas affected by testosterone-driven hair loss.

Researchers discovered this effect while studying how deoxyribose, a naturally occurring sugar in DNA, heals wounds in mice. During those trials, they observed faster fur regrowth around treated wounds. This led to a focused study in which male mice had fur removed from their backs and were treated daily with a deoxyribose-based gel. The gel triggered robust hair regrowth comparable to minoxidil, one of only two FDA-approved drugs for androgenic alopecia.

The researchers believe the sugar may increase blood flow to hair follicles, a known factor in stimulating growth. Their biodegradable, non-toxic gel outperformed a placebo and matched minoxidil’s 90% regrowth success rate in mice.

A combination of both treatments did not enhance results further. No testing has yet been done on female mice or humans. Current drugs like finasteride, which blocks testosterone conversion, can cause side effects and aren’t approved for women.

The sugar gel could offer a simpler and safer option, especially for cases where minoxidil or finasteride is ineffective or poorly tolerated. Photographic evidence showed visible differences over a 20-day trial period. Still, the mechanism behind the sugar gel’s effectiveness remains unclear. Researchers observed more blood vessels and skin cells near the application site, which could explain the growth.
