    TLDR Rutin may help regrow hair by stabilizing β-catenin and blocking GSK3β.
    The study by Yanyan Zhang et al. demonstrates that Rutin, a natural compound, promotes hair follicle regeneration by stabilizing β-catenin through the inhibition of GSK3β. This action activates the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which is crucial for driving the hair cycle. The findings suggest that Rutin could be a potential therapeutic agent for hair loss by targeting this specific signaling pathway.
