research Minoxidil Activates β-Catenin Pathway in Human Dermal Papilla Cells: A Possible Explanation for Its Anagen Prolongation Effect

88 citations , February 2011 in “Journal of Dermatological Science”

This study found that topical minoxidil modestly extended the anagen phase in mice by activating β-catenin activity in dermal papilla cells.

research Human Hair Follicles Contain Two Forms of ATP-Sensitive Potassium Channels, Only One Sensitive to Minoxidil

102 citations , February 2008 in “The FASEB Journal”

This study found that human hair follicles express ATP-sensitive potassium channels, suggesting that minoxidil acts on these channels and that drugs targeting them may treat hair disorders.

research Murine Vibrissae Cultured in Serum-Free Medium Reinitiate Anagen

13 citations , August 2007 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

Mouse hair can regrow in a special lab setup without serum.

research Effect of Minoxidil on Proliferation and Apoptosis in Dermal Papilla Cells of Human Hair Follicle

149 citations , March 2004 in “Journal of Dermatological Science”

This study found that minoxidil stimulates hair follicle growth by promoting dermal papilla cell survival and activating ERK and Akt pathways, which leads to increased proliferation and reduced cell death.

research Cyclical Changes in Rat Vibrissa Follicles Maintained In Vitro

34 citations , December 2000 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study observed that rat vibrissa hair follicles cultured in vitro showed morphological changes suggesting cyclical activity but remained blocked in the pro-anagen stage.

research Differences in Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Volume Are Due to Extracellular Matrix Volume and Cell Number: Implications for the Control of Hair Follicle Size and Androgen Responses

231 citations , December 1999 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that the volume of a hair follicle's dermal papilla is strongly correlated with its size, primarily due to the number of cells it contains and the volume of extracellular matrix.

research Finasteride in the Treatment of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia

581 citations , October 1998 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology”

In male pattern hair loss, this study found that finasteride 1 mg daily significantly slowed hair loss and increased hair growth over two years compared to placebo.

research Minoxidil Upregulates the Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Human Hair Dermal Papilla Cells

192 citations , March 1998 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

This study found that minoxidil significantly increases VEGF mRNA and protein expression in dermal papilla cells, suggesting a role in enhancing hair follicle vascularization in androgenetic alopecia.

research In the Absence of Streptomycin, Minoxidil Potentiates the Mitogenic Effects of Fetal Calf Serum, Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1, and Platelet-Derived Growth Factor on NIH 3T3 Fibroblasts in a K+ Channel-Dependent Fashion

32 citations , August 1996 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

research 13-Cis-Retinoic Acid Affects Sheath-Shaft Interactions of Equine Hair Follicles In Vitro

30 citations , February 1996 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

research Transfection of Rat Dermal Papilla Cells with a Gene Encoding a Temperature-Sensitive Polyomavirus Large T Antigen Generates Cell Lines Retaining a Differentiated Phenotype

25 citations , July 1994 in “Journal of Cell Science”

This study found that polyomavirus large T-immortalized rat dermal papilla cells retain hair-inductive ability and provide a viable model for studying hair growth and cytokine expression.

research Rat Hair Follicle Growth In Vitro

58 citations , December 1992 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

In this study, insulin-like growth factor-1 did not impact hair follicle elongation in rat pelage hair follicles, while transforming growth factor-beta 1 inhibited both elongation and thymidine uptake.

research Potassium Channel Conductance: A Mechanism Affecting Hair Growth Both In Vitro and In Vivo

82 citations , March 1992 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

research Human Hair Growth In Vitro

385 citations , November 1990 in “Journal of Cell Science”

This study successfully grew and maintained human hair follicles in vitro, noting that TGF-β1 negatively affects growth, while EGF replicates hair-removal effects seen in animals.

research Minoxidil Sulfate Is the Active Metabolite That Stimulates Hair Follicles

166 citations , November 1990 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

Minoxidil sulfate stimulates hair growth.

research Hypertrichosis Due to Minoxidil
