December 1975 in “PubMed” This study found that acid and alkaline phosphatases serve different functions in Beagle dog skin, with ALP primarily involved in growth processes and ACP in phospholipid breakdown.
March 2026 in “Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine” October 2025 in “Journal of the Endocrine Society” In this case report, an 80-year-old woman experienced elevated alkaline phosphatase levels due to the use of Viviscal hair supplements. Her levels returned to normal after discontinuing the supplement, highlighting the need for clinicians to consider supplements as potential causes of abnormal lab results.
April 2021 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that CD1a-restricted CD4+ T cells responsive to lysyl-phosphatidylglycerol were more frequent in the blood of atopic dermatitis patients, suggesting a potential role in the disease's Th2-mediated pathology.
April 2016 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” In this study, ALP knockdown significantly impaired the hair follicle-inducing capacity of human dermal papilla spheres, highlighting a critical role for ALP in hair follicle neogenesis.

July 2009 in “Biomolecules & therapeutics” This study found that combining MSM with MAP significantly enhanced hair growth in mice, comparable to or better than minoxidil, due to increased intradermal retention of MAP.
2 citations
,
May 2023 in “The Journal of Immunology” This animal study observed that treatment with the S1PR modulator NXC736 significantly reduced lesion area and CD8+ T cell infiltration in mice with alopecia areata, suggesting its potential as a promising therapy for the condition.
1 citations
,
January 2022 in “European Journal of Pharmacology” In this study, FMN was found to inhibit androgen receptor function and androgen-regulated gene expression in prostate cancer cells, suggesting potential as an antiandrogen therapy.

,
October 2021 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” November 2025 in “The Journal of Immunology” This study found that administering an S1PR 1&4 modulator reduced alopecia areata lesion size and decreased CD8+ T cell infiltration in mice, suggesting potential as a treatment for this condition.
July 2024 in “Journal of Integrative Plant Biology” This study found that soybean plants maintain root hair growth under phosphate deficiency by using two vacuolar Pi efflux transporters, GmVPE1 and GmVPE2, to remobilize stored Pi, with the process regulated by the GmRSL2 transcription factor.
This study found that S1PR1 signaling in mouse aortic endothelial cells varied by location and subtype, influencing inflammatory and lymphangiogenic gene expression through distinct molecular pathways.
This study found that targeting S1PR1 signaling in mouse aortic endothelial cells helps suppress inflammation-related gene expression while revealing diverse and spatially distinct endothelial cell subtypes.
This paper discusses various toxicological properties of diphenyl cresyl phosphate, highlighting its low acute toxicity, potential neurotoxicity linked to o-cresyl phosphate content, and the lack of data for inhalation exposure, but presents no new experimental findings.
