TLDR Understanding WNT signaling proteins can help predict and treat certain types of hair loss.

The study explored the role of agonists and antagonists of the WNT signaling pathway in patients with androgenic alopecia and alopecia areata. It concluded that understanding the morphogenic proteins of the WNT signaling pathway could help identify personal risks of disease progression and inform targeted therapy approaches. Additionally, it suggested that this knowledge could lead to the development and implementation of updated diagnostic screening methods in dermatological practice. The study emphasized the prognostic significance of WNT signaling proteins in these types of alopecia.

community Does melatonin dissolve in isopropyl alcohol

in Technology 6 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses making a topical melatonin solution for hair loss treatment, questioning if isopropyl alcohol can dissolve melatonin.
