    GlossaryWnt5a (Wnt-5a)

    protein crucial for cell signaling in hair follicle development

    Wnt5a is a protein that plays a crucial role in cell signaling pathways, which are essential for various developmental processes in the body, including the growth and repair of tissues. In the context of hair biology, Wnt5a is involved in regulating hair follicle development and cycling, making it significant for understanding conditions like alopecia, where hair growth is disrupted.
