5 / 956 resultsresearch Moisture sorption/desorption of protein fibres
Internal lipids in keratin fibers, like wool and hair, reduce water absorption and release.
research Lipid loses and barrier function modifications of the brown‐to‐white hair transition
White hair has less lipid content and absorbs water differently than brown hair.
research Activated carbon fiber derived from the seed hair fibers of Metaplexis japonica: Novel efficient adsorbent for methylene blue
Activated carbon fibers from Metaplexis japonica seed hair are highly effective for removing the dye methylene blue from water.
research Exogenous and endogenous lipids of human hair
Removing external lipids from hair reduces moisture and increases strength, while removing internal lipids decreases water permeability.
research Advances in Chitosan-Based Nanoparticles for Drug Delivery
Chitosan, a natural substance, can be used to create tiny particles that effectively deliver various types of drugs, but more work is needed to improve stability and control of drug release.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Solution vehicle used by compounding pharmacy
The user is using 0.1% dutasteride, 1% minoxidil with 2% procapil and 0.005% caffeine in the morning, and 1% minoxidil with 2% procapil and 0.01% tretinoin at night. They are concerned about the solution vehicle's effectiveness in preventing systemic absorption and ensuring the products stay around the hair follicles.
community Topical finasteride in liposomal formulation
Topical finasteride in a liposomal formulation reduces systemic absorption compared to ethanol solutions. The user is seeking sources for such products, noting that popular options like morr-f are not liposomal.
community How the fuck do people cover their scalp with only 1 ml for topicals?
The user struggles to cover their entire scalp with 1 ml of RU58841 while using dutasteride and oral minoxidil for hair loss. Suggestions include using a syringe for precise application, applying twice daily, and considering the use of more than 1 ml to ensure full coverage.
community People call companies stupid for making very high concentration Topical Fin solutions but I think they overlook the fact that the actual absorption rate of finasteride varies greatly
The conversation discusses how the absorption rate of topical finasteride varies and is not equivalent to its oral form, with only a small percentage reaching the scalp. It also mentions that minoxidil in high concentrations is used topically because only a small amount is absorbed.
community Minoxidil Response Bottlenecks: Why Sulfation and Transport Matter (And Where Tretinoin Fits In)
Minoxidil's effectiveness is limited by the need for sulfation and proper transport to hair follicles, with tretinoin potentially enhancing its effects by promoting enzyme activity and keratinocyte differentiation. Tretinoin may improve minoxidil's response by boosting the expression of necessary enzymes and transporters.
