NEJM article showing restored pigment to hair color

How do we restore our youthful hair color as we get older?

Currently a variety of hair dyes are used.  In this recent New England Journal of Medicine case report, a therapy for cancer as a side effect restored pigment to patients' hair. 

Many new therapies arise from treating other conditions.  Perhaps in the future we will be able to restore color to our hair.
