    Jaeyoon Kim, Jae Young Shin, Yun Ho Choi … Nae Gyu Kang
    Studysummary In this study, researchers found that topical treatment with adenosine improved hair growth and thickness by significantly increasing hair density and thickness after four months in vivo, with results comparable to minoxidil, potentially due to adenosine's anti-androgenic effects.
