16 citations
,
July 1994 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” This study found that minoxidil sulfate and pinacidil did not activate K channel currents in hair follicles, suggesting their effect on hair growth might occur through other mechanisms like increased blood flow.
January 2004 in “Kölner Universitäts PublikationsServer (Universität zu Köln)” This study suggests that CD151-integrin complexes inhibit epithelial cell migration, and that disruption of these complexes enhances migration, regulated by Rho GTPase activation differences on distinct laminins.
7 citations
,
October 2015 in “Experimental dermatology” This study found that topical MR blockers alongside glucocorticoids may limit glucocorticoid-induced skin atrophy, suggesting MR's significant role in skin-related endocrinology.
2 citations
,
January 2006 in “PubMed” This study found that topical application of carpronium chloride led to arteriolar vasodilation and increased blood flow in rat mesenteric arterioles, without affecting systemic blood pressure.
May 2026 in “Discover Oncology” This review discusses the role of LGR4 in tumors, highlighting its involvement in cancer progression, metastasis, and chemotherapy resistance, as well as its regulatory effects on tumor stem cell self-renewal and stem cell characteristics, based on multiple recent studies.
12 citations
,
February 2010 in “Tetrahedron Letters” This article describes the synthesis of novel polyamine-modified minoxidil analogs and conjugates to potentially enhance minoxidil's biological activity, selectivity, and water solubility, but reports no new biological results.

January 2023 in “Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences” This study found that intrauterine administration of botulinum toxin A improved endometrial environment and receptivity in a murine model of thin endometrium through mechanisms involving IGFBP3 and osteopontin.
April 2010 in “The Journal of Urology” Human prostate cells produce more WISP1/CCN4 when there's not enough oxygen.
April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study suggests that caveolin-1 may be a potential target for treating psoriasis, as its downregulation was linked to psoriasis markers that improved with soluble caveolin scaffolding domain peptide treatment.
February 2026 in “Oncology Reviews” This review highlights the promising clinical outcomes of sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT), an antibody-drug conjugate for breast cancer that targets TROP2, demonstrating improved response rates and progression-free survival, with manageable safety concerns including primarily mild-to-moderate nausea and alopecia.
7 citations

May 1995 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”
May 2026 in “BMC Medicine” This study found that ACOD1 deficiency in dermal papilla cells promotes mitochondrial dysfunction and contributes to cellular senescence in androgenetic alopecia, suggesting ACOD1 as a potential therapeutic target and 4-octyl itaconate as a promising treatment option for AGA.
475 citations
,
October 2006 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences” This study suggests that folliculin, mutated in Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome, and its partner FNIP1 may play a role in energy and nutrient sensing through the AMPK and mTOR pathways.
21 citations
,
September 2001 in “Graefes Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology” This study found that minoxidil inhibited lens epithelial cell migration, proliferation, and collagen secretion in vitro, suggesting it may help prevent postoperative capsular opacification.
December 2021 in “Figshare” This study found that downregulation of BBS7 in periodontal ligament cells was associated with reduced Sonic hedgehog signaling, which plays a crucial role in maintaining PDL homeostasis.
16 citations
,
May 2000 in “Endocrinology” This study identified a new gene, mrp4, in mice, which suggests it may have a unique role in the growth and development of hair follicles in the ears and tails.
29 citations

October 2021 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” In this research, investigators used in vitro models to study the Merkel cell-neurite complex and reported that mechanical stimulation, similar to gentle touch, can induce molecular changes that are potentially relevant to hair growth, thus contributing to the understanding of its underlying mechanisms.
29 citations
,
July 2014 in “PloS one” In this study, Meis1 was found to regulate epidermal homeostasis and act as a proto-oncogenic factor in skin tissues, with differences in expression patterns between normal and tumor cells.
January 2026 in “Nanoscale Advances” In this study, a biocompatible zinc oxide nanocomposite loaded with the anticancer drug 9-Br-Nos demonstrated effective drug delivery and cytotoxicity against lung cancer cells in vitro, while also proving non-toxic to healthy cells, suggesting its potential for targeted lung cancer treatment.
