research Hair follicle stem cell proliferation, Akt and Wnt signaling activation in TPA-induced hair regeneration 30 citations , February 2017 in “Histochemistry and Cell Biology” TPA promotes hair growth by increasing stem cell activity and activating specific cell signals.
research Simultaneous effects of tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS) on local hair growth promotion and systemic absorption of topically applied minoxidil in a mouse model 18 citations , October 2005 in “International Journal of Pharmaceutics” Adding a small amount of TPGS to minoxidil can help hair growth, but too much TPGS reduces this effect and increases minoxidil in the blood.
