research WNT Signaling in Disease
The WNT signaling pathway is important in many diseases and targeting it could offer new treatments.
research Targeting the Wnt Pathways for Therapies
Blocking the Wnt pathway could lead to new treatments for cancer and tissue repair but requires careful development to avoid side effects.
research Biology and Genetics of Hair
The document concludes that understanding the genes and pathways involved in hair growth is crucial for developing treatments for hair diseases.
research Skin Physiology in Microgravity: A 3-Month Stay Aboard ISS Induces Dermal Atrophy and Affects Cutaneous Muscle and Hair Follicles Cycling in Mice
A 3-month stay in space causes skin thinning, disrupts hair growth, and changes muscle-related genes in mice.
research Dietary Supplement Increases Anagen Hair Rate in Women With Telogen Effluvium: Results of a Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial
The dietary supplement helped increase hair growth in women with hair loss.
research Keratin Network Modifications Lead to the Mechanical Stiffening of the Hair Follicle Fiber
