The study reveals completely divergent pathological pathways by sex but doesn't explain what upstream factors drive males toward lipid/synaptic alterations while females develop robust neuroimmune signatures. This fundamental mechanistic gap underlies the entire sexual dimorphism phenomenon. Gap type: unexplained_observation Source paper: Phosphoproteomics uncovers a neuroimmune perspective on trigeminal neuralgia: sexually dimorphic regulatory networks linking calcium channels to the complement cascade.
