Foxy-5, a Wnt5a peptide mimetic, is primarily used in cancer research and therapy due to its role in regulating cell migration and metastasis. It has shown potential in inhibiting the spread of cancer cells, particularly in breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers, by mimicking the activity of the Wnt5a protein, which is involved in controlling cellular movements. Researchers are exploring its application in developing treatments to prevent cancer metastasis, offering a promising avenue for targeted cancer therapies. Additionally, it is being studied for its effects on tissue regeneration and wound healing, leveraging its ability to modulate cell behavior and signaling pathways.
