Sh-Polypeptide 9 CG-VEGF hair follicle vascularization human hair follicle dermal papilla cells microvascular endothelial cells minoxidil tubulogenic potential VEGF bFGF β-catenin oxidative stress in vivo clinical trials Rogaine vascularization dermal papilla cells endothelial cells vascular endothelial growth factor basic fibroblast growth factor beta-catenin
Studysummary The study found that Sh-Polypeptide 9, a biomimetic peptide, enhances endothelial tubulogenesis and VEGF production more effectively than minoxidil, particularly at low concentrations, suggesting potential for hair follicle vascularization.
