research Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Promotes Aging-Associated Hair Graying in Mice
A certain signaling pathway in mice, when increased, causes hair to gray by depleting the cells that give hair its color.
research Spontaneous Tumor Regression in Keratoacanthomas Is Driven by Wnt/Retinoic Acid Signaling Cross-Talk
Skin tumor regression is helped by retinoic acid signaling blocking Wnt signaling.
research Small Molecule Wnt Pathway Modulators from Natural Sources: History, State of the Art and Perspectives
Natural small molecules can help treat diseases by activating or inhibiting the Wnt pathway.
research The Role of Smads in Skin Development
Smad-4 and Smad-7 are key in hair follicle development, with other Smads being less important.
research Suppression of Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling by EGF Receptor Is Required for Hair Follicle Development
Blocking Wnt/β-catenin signaling with EGF receptor is necessary for proper hair growth.

5 / 487 resultscommunity Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?
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 TWIST-1 and the cure: Is it really that easy?
TWIST-1 gene's role in hair loss and potential as a treatment target. Inhibiting TWIST-1 may prolong hair growth and reduce hair follicle sensitivity to DHT.
community A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications
The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
community HLT Megathread on HMI-115 (key takeaways in comments)
HMI-115, a newly discovered hair loss treatment that could potentially be effective for those with diffuse thinning and telogen effluvium. It is based on prolactin receptor antagonist signaling and has already undergone Phase I trials in women, with potential commercialization by 2027.
community The Real Cause Of Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.
