In this study, minoxidil sulfate was found to relax norepinephrine-induced contractions in rabbit mesenteric arteries, possibly by acting as a K+ channel agonist, but it did not relax K+-induced contractions.

This study suggests that the action of minoxidil in stimulating hair growth likely occurs at the follicular dermal papilla, though it does not induce new follicle formation.

This article reviews various types of alopecia, their diagnostic features, and patterns, but presents no new clinical findings; the authors discuss multiple mechanisms and classification challenges.

This review suggests that blocking the ATP-sensitive potassium (K ATP) channel, particularly the Kir6.1/SUR2B subtype, may prove effective in treating migraines, with preclinical data supporting this approach; however, human studies are absent, and potential side effects could complicate clinical use.

This article reviews the therapeutic potential of potassium channel openers for various conditions related to metabolic distress but does not report new clinical results; it emphasizes the need for further research.

Cromakalim relaxes various blood vessels, while minoxidil sulphate is more selective; they likely act on different potassium channels.

Diazoxide, minoxidil sulphate, and cromakalim relax rat blood vessels by opening K+ channels, with some differences in their actions.

This review discusses current knowledge about the TRPV3 ion channel's role in skin functions and diseases, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for pain and itch, though suitable ligands are limited.

This review discusses the pharmacological properties and therapeutic potential of K+ channel opening compounds, noting their prospective use in treating cardiovascular and respiratory conditions, but reports no new results.

This study found that the opioid system, particularly via the delta opioid receptor, broadly regulates cutaneous mechanosensation, including touch, and suggests targeting this receptor could alleviate injury-induced mechanical hypersensitivity.

This editorial reviews the roles and therapeutic potential of inward rectifying K+ channels in various physiological processes, highlighting their importance in health and disease but provides no new experimental results.

This review examines compounds that activate IK1 channels, highlighting their potential for developing Kir channel agonists and addressing safety concerns, but does not report new experimental findings.

This study found that acid regulation of the TRPV3 channel can inhibit its function from outside the cell while facilitating it from inside, providing insights into skin barrier and disorder mechanisms related to tissue acidosis.

This review summarizes a 15-year collaboration on the role of synaptic-like vesicles in mechanosensory nerve terminals and suggests potential therapeutic implications for conditions like hypertension and muscle spasticity.

This study found that TRPV3 activation in human sebocytes inhibits lipid synthesis and triggers proinflammatory cytokine expression, suggesting a role in the pathogenesis of dry skin-associated inflammatory dermatoses.

This review discusses the development and potential therapeutic applications of adenosine receptor agonists and positive allosteric modulators, noting that while many clinical trials have been unsuccessful, initial results for new compounds are promising.

In this study, researchers explored whether minoxidil, a common treatment for androgenetic alopecia, may have estrogenic activity and found preliminary evidence suggesting it could act as a partial agonist of Estrogen Receptor α (ERα).

This review discusses the therapeutic potential of potassium channel openers for various conditions, but notes that their clinical role is not yet fully established.

This study found that a thyroid hormone receptor ẞ subtype-selective thyromimetic was effective in promoting hair growth in mouse and monkey models when applied topically.

This study found that minoxidil prevents long-term serotonergic toxicity induced by MDMA in rats, primarily by opening mitochondrial KATP channels and involving Akt and MAP kinases in its neuroprotective mechanism.

This review discusses the functions and potential therapeutic targeting of TRP ion channels in the skin, noting their involvement in both physiological processes and various pathological conditions, but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that deleting Stim1 and Stim2 in mature T regulatory cells disrupts Ca 2+ signaling, preventing their differentiation and leading to severe autoimmune disorders in mice.

This study suggests that in mice, plasmalogens may enhance hair growth by activating TRPC4 channels, which increases calcium influx and subsequently stimulates AMPK in hair follicles.

In this study, aleglitazar and its metabolite M6 were evaluated for safety in non-clinical settings, revealing organ-targeting effects common to PPAR agonists but no significant tumor increase in rat carcinogenicity studies, supporting progression to Phase 3 clinical trials.

This study found that multiple ion channel modulators, used here at clinical concentrations, increased intracellular calcium release in prostate and breast cancer cell lines.

This study found that inhibiting the TRPV3 channel may significantly promote hair growth and suggests a potential therapeutic approach for hair loss and related skin diseases.

This study found that the medication dyclonine has a potent inhibitory effect on the TRPV3 channel, effectively rescuing cell death and alleviating pruritus symptoms in a mouse model with gain-of-function TRPV3 mutations, suggesting potential for treating skin inflammation.

This study identified heterozygous mutations in the ABCC9 gene as the genetic basis of Cantú syndrome, suggesting the syndrome as a new member of potassium channelopathies.

This study identified a subtype of itch-sensing neurons in mice, which express Ret and somatostatin, and found that their ablation reduces scratching induced by certain pruritogens.

This study described specific skin and hair follicle abnormalities in three Japanese patients with Cantu syndrome, which may relate to the regulation role of SUR2 in hair follicle growth.
