October 2022 in “Experimental Dermatology” New technologies show promise for better hair regeneration and treatments.
January 2008 in “The Year book of dermatology” After skin injury, adult mice can grow new hair follicles, and this process can be increased or stopped by manipulating Wnt signals.
May 2007 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Hair can regrow in adult mice's skin after injury, and this process can be boosted by increasing Wnt7a, a protein. This could potentially help treat baldness and change our understanding of hair growth.
