November 2017 in “Journal of Cellular Physiology” This review discusses the role of Wnt/β‐catenin signaling in stem and cancer stem cell maintenance and its involvement in the development and regeneration of various organs, but reports no new experimental results.
November 2024 in “Genomics” This study found that exogenous melatonin enhances the development of secondary hair follicles in Cashmere goats by promoting miRNA-mRNA interactions, specifically via the chi-let-7d-5p/WNT2 axis, which suggests a mechanism for melatonin's effects on hair growth involving microRNA regulation.
