DKK1-Targeting Cholesterol-Modified siRNA Implication in Hair Growth Regulation

    Dimitri Papukashvili, Cong Liu, Nino Rcheulishvili … Peng George Wang
    Studysummary This study found that DKK1-targeting siRNA, which may activate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, showed hair growth results in mice similar to those treated with the FDA-approved minoxidil, suggesting potential as an androgenetic alopecia therapy.
