February 2023 in “British Journal of Pharmacology” This study found that ISX9 may activate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and holds potential as a therapeutic agent for treating alopecia.
July 2025 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study developed a potent Wnt surrogate with high specificity for the Fzd7 receptor in mice, promoting full hair follicle regeneration and robust hair growth, suggesting potential applications in tissue development and targeted regeneration.
This study identified ISX9 as a novel agonist of the Wnt/β‐catenin pathway, which promoted hair regrowth in mice and may offer a therapeutic approach for alopecia.
