This study examined the vasorelaxant effects of two similar alkaloids, chloroquine and cinchonine, in a model of smooth muscle contractions induced by phenylephrine. Results are not reported in the abstract.

This study found that combining hair follicle-derived smooth muscle cells with a natural biomaterial created vascular constructs with mechanical and functional properties similar to native arteries, suggesting potential for arterial implantation.

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

This study identified neuropilin-1 as the receptor for FOL-026 and showed that it stimulates angiogenesis and cell growth, suggesting potential for vascular repair and enhanced angiogenesis therapies.

This study found that magnesium deficiency in rats led to elevated diastolic blood pressure and altered vascular responses, although the mechanisms remain unclear.

In this study, researchers developed a method to efficiently derive contractile smooth muscle cells from human hair follicle stem cells using TGF-β1 and PDGF-BB, which may advance vascular tissue engineering.

This study found that testosterone modulates vascular cell behavior through direct actions that do not rely on its conversion to estradiol.

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

In this study, decellularized human amniotic membrane was found to promote wound healing and reduce scar formation in rats with full-thickness skin defects, compared to traditional clinical treatments.

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 study found that melatonin exposure promoted hair follicle fiber growth in Cashmere goat cultures, potentially influencing pathways related to the microvascular system and extracellular matrix.

In this study using rabbits, HA2 hydrogels made from cross-linked hyaluronic acid and polysaccharide promoted wound healing better than other treatments, reducing inflammation and scar formation.

This paper reviews the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress and the unfolded protein response in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome-related atherosclerosis, especially in vascular smooth muscle cells, but reports no clinical findings; intervention in these pathways is suggested as a potential therapeutic strategy.

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.

This study found that testosterone contributed to increased arterial stiffness and cardiovascular damage in female mice, linked with decreased estrogen receptor expression, and suggests implications for women with polycystic ovarian syndrome or those taking testosterone.

This study reported that exposure to melatonin promoted hair follicle fiber growth in an in vitro Cashmere goat model, potentially by influencing pathways related to the extracellular matrix and microvascular system.

In this study, melatonin exposure promoted hair follicle fiber growth in Cashmere goats, suggesting that it may mediate hair follicle development through long non-coding RNAs affecting vascular and extracellular pathways.

This study found that melatonin exposure promoted growth in Cashmere goat hair follicles in vitro and suggested that lncRNAs play a key role in regulating this process, particularly through pathways involving the microvascular system and extracellular matrix.

This study found that mesenchymal stem cells sourced from hair follicle outer root sheath showed higher differentiation efficiency and angiogenic potential for vascular graft applications compared to adipose-derived stem cells.

Alopecia totalis/universalis involves more intense immune activity and inflammation than patchy alopecia areata.

In this study, researchers developed a 3D-printed vascular model to analyze how different shear stresses influence cell behavior and promote cellular organization around neovessels, offering insights into tissue engineering for wound reconstruction.

This study developed a validated murine model of hypertrophic scar contraction, demonstrating similarities to human skin and observing graft contraction and tissue characteristics over time.

This article discusses various disorders of the hair erector muscle, compiling conditions that involve it passively or actively, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study observed that the active metabolite minoxidil sulfate promotes vascular relaxation by enhancing potassium permeability, which may inform understanding of minoxidil's antihypertensive and hair growth effects.

This study suggests that FGF-9 treatment may improve cardiac function by reducing vascular apoptosis and enhancing angiogenesis in infarcted hearts of both nondiabetic and diabetic mice.

In this study, the researchers explored how the loss of structural integrity in hair follicles due to reduced α-SMA expression in the vertex area may contribute to androgenetic alopecia.

This case report describes an 18-year-old male with a rare acquired smooth muscle hamartoma on his face, characterized by hyperpigmented plaques and increased hair growth, suggesting a histological overlap with folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma.

Long-term use of a certain medication can worsen erectile function in aged rats by damaging penile muscle cells.

Nitrendipine and nifedipine effectively block muscle contractions, while papaverine relaxes them and minoxidil needs high amounts to work.

In this study, high expression of S100A4 in glioblastoma was associated with worse patient survival and promoted tumor progression by enhancing pro-tumorigenic vascular functions.
