    TLDR Wnt10b overexpression can regenerate hair follicles, possibly helping treat hair loss and alopecia.
    The study found that overexpression of Wnt10b can induce hair follicle regeneration in mice through the Wnt/ß-catenin signaling pathway. The induced hair follicles expressed structure markers and could cycle normally into catagen. The study provides insights into the regulation of hair follicle cycling and potential therapeutic targets for hair follicle-related diseases. Wnt10b may be a potential target for hair loss treatment and alopecia.

      in Research/Science  51 upvotes 1 month ago
      Topical sodium valproate may promote hair growth by inhibiting GSK3β, allowing beta-catenin to proliferate, but it has potential side effects and requires more research. The conversation also mentions skepticism about a product called Vdphlo1, which includes sodium valproate and other ingredients.
