This article claim there is a link between BDNC and baldness. I kind of felt that is far fetched and may provoke edit war if inserted on the front page. I however, feel it may be worth analysis by some medical oriented wikipedian [1]

It would be nice to know or have links to BDNF suppliers, or more detailed information on the manufacturing process. Current prices vary but 220 dollars US for 10 micrograms makes therputic applications of this protein prohibitively expensive. Also, from a chemistry standpoint BDNF is too complicated to synthesize. Other routes must be found to synthesize this high molecular weight protein. Why arent more people proposing this as an interim solution to neurocognitive theraputics in the abscence of stem cell therapy?
