This is news from Dr. Cotsarles. Ofcourse, this was only done on mice and human skin samples but it seems like it helps to know about.

Yeah its interesting. Maybe the itch a lot of us get is related to this? So you need to activate beta-catenin downstream of WNT10A to try this approach. Also they went between human and mouse model so maybe its more legit than the typical mouse study that never translates to anything
Maybe men with male pattern baldness have hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia and dont even know it. Although I still think like 95 percent of men are vulnerable to DHT over time so hormones fit better than this rare 1-2 percent disease. Possible I guess it contributes somehow
