Restoration of follicular β-catenin signaling by mesenchymal stem cells promotes hair growth in mice with androgenetic alopecia

hUCMSCs promoted hair regeneration in AGA model mice. This was found to be dependent on reducing DPCs apoptosis, thereby relieving the inhibitory effects of DPCs on the growth of HFSCs. The activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway was shown to play a crucial role in the promotion of hair growth by hUCMSCs in AGA mice.
