    GlossaryWnt expression

    activity of genes crucial for cell signaling and hair growth

    Wnt expression refers to the activity of a group of genes known as Wnt genes, which produce proteins that play a crucial role in cell signaling pathways. These pathways are essential for regulating cell growth, development, and differentiation, including the growth of hair follicles. In the context of hair biology, proper Wnt expression is necessary for the normal cycling and regeneration of hair.
