    Studysummary This study observed that stimulating the cholinergic system via muscarinic receptors in dermal papilla cells and other hair-related tissues promoted hair growth, with mechanisms involving the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathways in cell cultures and increased hair shaft elongation in mouse vibrissae treated with bethanechol.
