Glossary Secreted Frizzled-Related Protein 2

regulates cell signaling pathways affecting hair follicle development

Secreted Frizzled-Related Protein 2 (SFRP2) is a protein that plays a role in regulating cell signaling pathways, particularly the Wnt signaling pathway, which is crucial for cell growth, differentiation, and development. In the context of hair biology, SFRP2 can influence hair follicle development and cycling, potentially impacting conditions like alopecia.

research Secreted Frizzled‐Related Protein 2 ( SFRP2 ) Induces Follistatin‐Like 1 ( FSTL1 ) to Regulate Dihydrotestosterone ( DHT )‐Induced Dermal Papilla Cell Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Senescence

September 2026 in “Aging Cell”

This study found that knocking down SFRP2 in an AGA model improved hair regeneration and reduced cellular dysfunction, suggesting that targeting the SFRP2-FSTL1 axis could be a promising therapeutic strategy for androgenetic alopecia.

community Why isn't anyone using Way-316606? If it works then it grows a full head of hair back on most people

in Treatment 134 upvotes 1 year ago

Way-316606 is considered a potential hair loss treatment but is avoided due to safety concerns and lack of research. Minoxidil and Finasteride are preferred as established treatments.

community Another blow to the cursed baldness

in Research/Science 91 upvotes 11 months ago

A South Korean company, Therazyne, has developed a promising hair loss treatment using a WNT chain surrogate that binds to Frizzled 7, with human follicle testing expected soon. Current treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are not seen as cures, and while optimism exists for future solutions like PP405, approval processes are lengthy.

community IGFBP‐rP1 is a potential therapeutic target in androgenic alopecia

in Research/Science 13 upvotes 1 year ago

IGFBP‐rP1 shows potential for treating androgenic alopecia by influencing hair cycle transitions. Increasing IGF-1 levels may have similar effects to Minoxidil and 5-AR inhibitors in reducing hair loss.
