The Wnt-Inhibitor Dkk4 Is Required for Primary Hair Follicle Induction and Patterning

    Houda Khatif, Hisham Bazzi
    Studysummary This study reported that Dkk4-knockout mice showed disrupted hair follicle patterning, suggesting a WNT-DKK axis may influence regional specificities in hair follicle induction related to androgenetic alopecia.
