Hair growth disorders often carry a major psychological burden. Therefore, more effective human hair growth±modulatory agents urgently need to be developed. Here, we used the hypertrichosis-inducing immunosuppressant, Cyclosporine A (CsA), as a lead compound to identify new hair growth±promoting molecular targets.
