Glossary Dickkopf-related protein 4

regulates Wnt signaling, affecting hair follicle development and cycling

Dickkopf-related protein 4 (Dkk4) is a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating the Wnt signaling pathway, which is important for cell growth, development, and differentiation. In the context of hair biology, Dkk4 can influence hair follicle development and cycling, and its dysregulation has been associated with conditions like alopecia, where hair loss occurs.

research Dickkopf-related Protein 2 Promotes Hair Growth by Upregulating the Wnt/β-catenin Signaling Pathway in Human Dermal Papilla Cells

6 citations , January 2024 in “Annals of Dermatology”

In this study, treatment with recombinant DKK2 was shown to significantly stimulate hair progenitor cell growth and enhance hair shaft elongation in ex vivo human hair follicle cultures by activating the Wnt/ẞ-catenin signaling pathway, suggesting a potential role for DKK2 in promoting hair growth.

research Partial Proteasome Inhibitors Induce Hair Follicle Growth by Stabilizing β-Catenin

3 citations , August 2013 in “Stem cells”

This study found that topical application of partial proteasomal inhibitors accelerates hair growth by stabilizing β-catenin and disrupting the hair cycle's normal balance of activation and quiescence.

research Wnt and Notch signaling pathway involved in wound healing by targeting c-Myc and Hes1 separately

113 citations , June 2015 in “Stem Cell Research & Therapy”

This study found that activation or inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin and Notch signaling pathways in rats can alter wound healing, possibly by affecting epidermal stem cell activity and keratinocyte behavior.

research Wnt signaling in skin organogenesis

72 citations , April 2008 in “Organogenesis”

This review discusses the roles of Wnt signaling in skin organogenesis and related processes but reports no new experimental results, highlighting areas for future research.

research Visible-to-Near IR Quantum Dot–Based Hypermulticolor High-Content Screening of Herbal Medicines for the Efficacy Monitoring of Hair Growth Promotion and Hair Loss Inhibition

14 citations , November 2012 in “SLAS discovery”

This study observed that certain herbal extracts may promote hair growth and inhibit hair loss in cell lines by affecting specific protein expressions similarly to minoxidil.

community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

140 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.

community Prevention of age-related beard graying in humans by the topical application of Eriodictyon angustifolium extract

5 upvotes 4 years ago

Topical application of Eriodictyon angustifolium extract can prevent and reverse age-related beard graying and darken gray hair by increasing melanin production. Sterubin, a component of the extract, also promotes hair pigmentation and protects cells from DNA damage.
