Minoxidil is a blood pressure drug, it's a vasodilator. a side-effect was hair growth.A solution has never been found but quite recently Harvard scientists reported a breakthrough in GAS6 that encodes hair growth. They found that the stress hormone corticosterone causes hair follicle stem cells to stay in an extended resting phase, without regenerating tissue. The stress signal was first received by dermal cells surrounding the hair follicle, preventing them from releasing Gas6, a molecule that activates stem cells. When researchers added back GAS6, stem cells could regenerate hair even under stress. So hopefully one day there could be new drugs on the way.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite22" alt="(y)" title="Thumbs up    (y)" loading="lazy" data-shortname="(y)" /></blockquote>
