January 2020 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science” This study found that applying a combination of pyridine‐2, 4‐dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester and resveratrol significantly increased hair density in Caucasian women after 1.5 months, potentially due to their synergistic effect on the HIF‐1α pathway.
September 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that stabilizing HIF1A in balding hair follicle cells shifted their metabolism towards glycolysis, reducing oxidative stress and potentially promoting hair growth.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” In this study, researchers found that stabilizing the protein HIF1A in hair follicles promotes glycolysis over oxidative phosphorylation, potentially reducing oxidative stress and supporting hair growth.

December 2017 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” This study found that millimolar concentrations of minoxidil in the skin induced VEGF production through HIF-1 stabilization by inhibiting PHD-2, implying a molecular mechanism for hair growth promotion.
