    peptide treatment promoting hair regrowth by modulating signaling pathways

    FOL-005 is a peptide-based treatment developed for hair loss, specifically targeting conditions like androgenetic alopecia. It works by modulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which is crucial for hair follicle development and growth, thereby promoting hair regrowth and reducing hair thinning.
