research Penetration Profile of Microspheres in Follicular Targeting of Terminal Hair Follicles
Microspheres about 1.5 micrometers in size can best penetrate hair follicles, potentially reaching important stem cells.
research Impact of Hair Damage on the Penetration Profile of Coconut, Avocado, and Argan Oils into Caucasian Hair Fibers
Different oils affect hair flexibility and strength, with their impact varying on whether hair is virgin or bleached.
research Penetration profile and human cadaver skin distribution of finasteride from vesicular nanocarriers
Ethosomal carriers effectively deliver hair loss drug into skin.
research P62 Pre-clinical pharmacological and skin penetration profile of LDE255, a novel and specific Smoothened antagonist
LDE225 is a promising skin-applied treatment for basal cell carcinoma with good skin penetration and effectiveness.

5 / 250 resultscommunity Nanoxidil Is Probably Better Than Minoxidil. Big Pharma Is Why You’ve Never Heard Of It.
Nanoxidil may be more effective than Minoxidil for hair loss due to better follicle penetration, but it lacks widespread recognition and research because it's owned by a small company and classified as a cosmetic. The pharmaceutical system favors Minoxidil due to its established market presence and profitability, leaving Nanoxidil largely unstudied and unknown.
community Pyrilutamide vs enzalutamide. Same thing?( Especially for biochemists, farmacologists)
Researching whether pyri and enza, which are stereoisomers of each other, share the same features related to CNS penetration/GABA Inhibition; safety and efficacy when used topically at 0.5-1%; and cost comparison between the two treatments.
community FCE 28260: A Forgotten 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
FCE 28260 (PNU 156765), an under-explored 5α-reductase inhibitor, showcases promising results in research by Giudici et al., outperforming well-known treatments like Finasteride in reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Its superior efficacy, demonstrated through lower IC50 values in both natural and human recombinant enzyme studies, suggests it could offer more effective management of DHT-related conditions. Additionally, its lower molecular weight hints at better potential for topical application, potentially offering advantages in treating conditions such as androgenic alopecia. Despite its potential, it has not advanced in development, possibly due to financial limitations, leaving its therapeutic prospects and side effect profile largely unexplored.
community 23 y/o, 5 years on Fin probably stabilized everything, now starting tazarotene + minoxidil + dermarolling to try rebuilding 1-2cm of very minituarised hairline.
A 23-year-old has been using finasteride for 5 years to stabilize hair loss and is now adding minoxidil, tazarotene, and dermarolling to improve hairline density. They hope this new regimen will thicken existing hair and restore the hairline.
community Tretinoin vs. micro-needling: what increases sulfotransferase activity more?
Tretinoin and microneedling both enhance hair growth through different mechanisms, with microneedling being considered safe for long-term use. Optimal microneedling needle length varies, but 0.8 mm is suggested for hair growth, and a Dermastamp is recommended to avoid skin damage.
