October 2022 in “Development” This study demonstrated that Wnt5a can serve as an orienting signal for mouse skin's planar cell polarity but its overexpression disrupts hair follicle orientation, which can be rescued by modifying Fzd6 levels.
June 2026 in “Food Science and Human Wellness” In this study, the high polarity fraction of Lanzhou Fat-Tailed Sheep tail fat showed significant antioxidant and wound healing properties in a mouse model, promoting faster wound closure and reducing inflammation by modulating cytokine levels and enhancing collagen production.
