Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway keratin hydrolyzed egg yolk lecithin fish collagen peptide β-catenin nuclear translocation Wnt signaling β-catenin

TLDR Certain nutrients like keratin, egg yolk, and fish collagen may help pets regrow hair.

The study highlights the importance of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in hair regeneration for pets, specifically canines and cats. It identifies keratin hydrolyzed, egg yolk lecithin, and fish collagen peptide as nutrients that promote β-catenin nuclear translocation and enhance the expression of target genes in skin cell lines. These findings suggest that these nutrients could be beneficial in promoting hair regeneration and addressing hair loss in pets, which is crucial for their overall health and appearance.
