Summary We have known for over 30 years that minoxidil stimulates hair growth, yet our understanding of its mechanism of action on the hair follicle is very limited. In animal studies, topical minoxidil shortens telogen, causing premature entry of resting hair follicles into anagen, and it probabl...
Minoxidil has been reported to stimulate the production of vascular endothelial growth factor, a possible promoter of hair growth, in cultured dermal papilla cells. The mechanism of production of vascular endothelial growth factor remains unclear, however. We hypothesize that adenosine serves as a ...
Minoxidil’s mechanism of action for hair loss is not fully understood, it is thought to work by activating both extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and Akt and by preventing cell death by increasing the ratio of a protein called BCl-2/Bax. ...

(vascular endothelial cells), which is the proven hair growth mechanism of minoxidil.32There have been numerous clinical tests with 1–5% minoxidil on both male and female patterned hair loss patients in many countries, and its safety and efficacy have been established. However, this does not ...
Whilst minoxidil encourages hair growth and hair loss stabilisation, the exact molecular mechanism operating in the cells that result in hair growth from Minoxidil is not known. Some experts believe that minoxidil dilates the blood vessels around hair follicles, increasing the nutrient supply and encou...
How does minoxidil work (mechanism of action)? Minoxidil helps to relax blood vessels in your body. This allows blood to flow more easily through the vessels, which lowers blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure is important to prevent problems with your heart or kidneys and to decrease the ris...
Mechanism of action Minoxidil is thought to promote the survival of human dermal papillary cells (DPCs) or hair cells by activating both extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and Akt and by preventing cell death by increasing the ratio of BCl-2/Bax. Minoxidil may stimulate the growth of ...
