    February 2025 in “ Clinical Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology ”
    Peng Lin, Xu Zhao, Liangliang Shen … Miao Jiang
    Studysummary This study used Mendelian randomization to explore associations between 1400 blood metabolites and female-pattern hair loss, finding 23 metabolites and 4 metabolic ratios linked to the condition, while identifying fructose/mannose metabolism as a significant pathway.
