September 2022 in “Biomolecules” This study found that specific gene upregulations and mutations in hidradenitis suppurativa skin support the role of inflammation, altered epithelial differentiation, and metabolism dysregulation in the disease's pathogenesis.
November 2025 in “Frontiers in Pharmacology” In this study, XZYFD, a Traditional Chinese Medicine formulation, was found to improve androgenetic alopecia in a testosterone-induced mouse model by promoting hair regrowth, restoring follicular morphology, and modulating androgen metabolism, MAPK signaling, and lipid metabolism pathways, suggesting potential benefits for patients with metabolic dysfunction.

August 2018 in “Journal of Lipid Research” This study observed that partial autotaxin deficiency in mice protects against diet-induced obesity and systemic insulin resistance, suggesting the ATX-LPA pathway negatively affects skeletal muscle insulin signaling and mitochondrial function during obesity.
This study found that arginine deficiency in androgenetic alopecia patients is linked to increased oxidative stress and impaired hair follicle regeneration, with targeted arginine supplementation showing promise as a therapeutic strategy.
June 2023 in “Frontiers in Genetics” This study suggests that the curly hair phenotype in Mangalitza pigs may involve complex gene interactions related to calcium signaling and lipid metabolism, rather than changes in TRPM2 or CYP4F3 expression.
