    TLDR Cyclosporin and minoxidil promote hair growth.
    The study investigated the effects of cyclosporin, minoxidil, testosterone, estradiol, and corticosteroids on hair growth in nude mice. It was found that cyclosporin and minoxidil had hair growth-stimulating effects, while the roles of testosterone, estradiol, and corticosteroids were less clear. The research contributed to understanding the potential of these compounds in promoting hair growth, although the specific mechanisms and efficacy varied among the substances tested.
