March 2022 in “Molecules” The study demonstrates that adenosine promotes hair growth in cultured human dermal papilla cells (hDPCs) by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway through cAMP-mediated modulation of GSK3β activity. This activation enhances cell viability, mitochondrial function, and the expression of growth factors like bFGF, FGF7, and IGF-1, which are crucial for hair follicle growth. The effects are mediated through adenosine A2A and A2B receptors, suggesting that adenosine could be a potential therapeutic agent for treating hair loss.
