    regulates cell growth and differentiation, crucial for hair regeneration

    The Wnt signaling pathway is a complex network of proteins that play a crucial role in regulating cell growth, development, and differentiation. It is particularly important in the context of hair growth and regeneration, as it influences the activity of hair follicle stem cells. Dysregulation of this pathway can lead to conditions like alopecia or other hair growth disorders.
