I thought this may be important and haven't seen this new study brought up. From my understanding on the subject there are around 5 or so Jak pathways and this new study shows STAT5 is what we specifically want to inhibit in regards to restoring hair. So the others we can ignore? If so this would help us know what we specifically need to target now for more effective results.

"Another tyrosine kinase inhibitor already in clinical use in the treatment of Bcr-Abl positive leukemia, imatinib, has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on the expression of the anti-apoptotic gene, Bcl-xL, which is a target gene of STAT5 (Horita et al. 2000)."
So imatinib be worth looking into? It is under 500 daltons which makes it likely easily absorbed topically. It is soluble in water, which makes forming a topical very easy, just dissolve in water, wait for binder/filler from tablet to settle and decant off the liquid. Maybe add some leucidal as a preservative, can get it very cheap from lotioncrafter. Imatinib one can order from alldaychemist. Maybe I'm wrong about something but thought this was worth bringing up for discussion.
