research Direct Vasodilators and Sympatholytic Agents
Direct vasodilators and sympatholytic agents are still useful for certain conditions despite being less common due to side effects and newer drugs.
research Treatment strategies for alopecia
Some treatments work for common baldness, but there's less evidence for other hair loss types, and more research is needed.
research Biphasic Effects of Minoxidil on the Proliferation and Differentiation of Normal Human Keratinocytes
Minoxidil affects cell growth in two ways: low doses increase growth, while high doses slow it down and can be toxic.
research Development and characterization of minoxidil-loaded liposomal system for delivery to pilosebaceous units
Minoxidil-loaded liposomes effectively deliver to hair follicles, potentially improving hair growth and treating alopecia.
research Minoxidil increases 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 5α-reductase activity of cultured human dermal papilla cells from balding scalp
