    6. How is this even possible that there is no cure till now

    Development and Evaluation of a Niosome-Integrated Microneedle System for Targeted Follicular Delivery of Ketoconazole in Alopecia Therapy

    The study explores a novel niosome-integrated microneedle system designed for the targeted delivery of ketoconazole to hair follicles, with the goal of improving alopecia therapy. This method combines the advantages of niosomes, which enhance drug stability, with microneedles, which allow for precise delivery. The system aims to increase the effectiveness of ketoconazole in treating androgenic alopecia by ensuring better penetration and sustained release of the drug directly to the affected area, potentially offering a more effective treatment option.
