870-900 / 1000+ results research DHEA and frontal fibrosing alopecia: molecular and physiopathological mechanisms
DHEA reduction may be linked to frontal fibrosing alopecia, but more research is needed.
research Microemulsions as a Surrogate Carrier for Dermal Drug Delivery
Microemulsions can effectively deliver drugs through the skin but require careful ingredient selection to avoid irritation.
research Squarticles as a nanocarrier for targeting minoxidil to hair follicles and dermal papilla cells
Squarticles, tiny particles made from sebum-derived lipids, can effectively deliver minoxidil, a hair growth drug, directly to hair follicles and skin cells, with less skin penetration and more tolerability.
