TLDR Wnt10b can help regenerate hair follicles.
The document from April 15, 2016, discussed the role of Wnt10b, a highly conserved secretory glycoprotein, in the cyclical regeneration of hair follicles. The researchers found that overexpression of Wnt10b, mediated by adenovirus, could induce cyclical regeneration of hair follicles, possibly through the classical Wnt signaling pathway. This study aimed to provide a deeper understanding of the expression characteristics of hair follicles induced by Wnt10b, elucidate its mechanism of action in the hair follicle cycle, and provide a theoretical basis for the development of drugs to treat hair follicle cycle-related diseases.
