Finally, preliminary ex-vivo data propose that the peptide complex might trigger Wnt/-catenin signaling cascades, pathways recognized for their role in hair follicle morphogenesis-although confirmation in human scalp tissue remains limited
Aberrant methylation of DNA and proteins, which causes alterations in chromatin structure and gene expression, are a common feature of cancer cells
It upregulates genes involved in collagen synthesis (COL1A1, COL3A1, COL5A1), extracellular matrix remodeling (decorin, fibromodulin), and antioxidant defense (superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase) while simultaneously suppressing genes associated with inflammation (IL-6, TNF-alpha), fibrinogen production, and tissue destruction (several MMPs)
