title: Bad Hair Day: Testosterone and Wnts.
abstract: Androgens have an important role in normal skin physiology, as well as in the pathogenesis of many skin conditions, such as acne vulgaris, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia. Kretzchumar et al. (2015) investigate the relationship between androgen receptor (AR) signaling and β-catenin/Wnt signaling pathways in murine hair follicles.
