    stimulates cell growth and development through Wnt signaling

    A Wnt pathway activator is a substance or molecule that stimulates the Wnt signaling pathway, a crucial cell communication system involved in regulating cell growth, development, and differentiation. This pathway plays a significant role in hair follicle development and regeneration, making Wnt activators potential therapeutic agents for conditions like alopecia (hair loss).

      community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

      in Research/Science  138 upvotes 9 months 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.
