Abstract
A method for inducing or stimulating new hair growth, increasing hair growth or preventing hair regression in a mammalian subject in need of or desirous of such treatment is provided that comprises administering to the subject a pharmaceutically or cosmeceutically effective amount of a composition comprising vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a VEGF receptor agonist, a prodrug form of the foregoing or a salt form thereof in a non-covalent association complex with a positively-charged backbone having a plurality of attached efficiency groups.

A method for inducing or stimulating new hair growth, increasing hair growth or preventing hair regression in a mammalian subject in need of or desirous of such treatment, comprising administering to the subject a pharmaceutically or cosmeceutically effective amount of a composition comprising vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a VEGF receptor agonist, a prodrug form of the foregoing or a salt form thereof in a non-covalent association complex with a positively-charged backbone having a plurality of attached efficiency groups.
A composition comprising a pharmaceutically or cosmeceutically acceptable carrier and an effective amount of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a VEGF receptor agonist, a prodrug form of the foregoing or a salt form thereof in a non-covalent association complex with a positively-charged backbone having a plurality of attached efficiency groups, the amount being effective for inducing or stimulating new hair growth, increasing hair growth or preventing hair regression in a mammalian subject.
The use of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a VEGF receptor agonist, a prodrug form of the foregoing or a salt form thereof in non-covalent association with a complex of a positively-charged backbone having a plurality of attached efficiency groups in the preparation of a medicament for topical application to stimulate new hair growth, increase hair growth or prevent hair regression in a mammalian subject
A kit for inducing or stimulating new hair growth, increasing hair growth or preventing hair regression in a mammalian subject, the kit comprising a composition and a container, the composition comprising a pharmaceutically or cosmeceutically acceptable carrier and an effective amount of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a VEGF receptor agonist, a prodrug form of the foregoing or a salt form thereof in non-covalent association with a complex of a positively-charged backbone having a plurality of attached efficiency groups.
