research Adverse Events in Isotretinoin Therapy: A Single-Arm Meta-Analysis
Isotretinoin therapy for acne can cause many reversible side effects, mainly mild skin conditions, and patient understanding of these effects can improve treatment adherence.
research Solid microneedle booster as an enhanced microneedling platform for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia
The study presents a solid microneedle booster (SMB) as an advanced microneedling platform for treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA). The SMB integrates spring-driven perpendicular stamping with simultaneous liquid dosing, improving microchannel reproducibility and early transport. Tests on porcine skin revealed that SMB achieved greater microchannel surface coverage and deeper penetration than a roller. It also enhanced early-phase permeation, accelerating hair regrowth when combined with minoxidil (MXD) in vivo. Histological analysis showed increased follicle enrichment in the SMB + MXD group. SMB provides a one-step, directionality-controlled microneedling method that enhances early transport and promotes follicular maturation, with potential for broader dermatologic applications.
research Gender Differences in Skin Aging and the Changing Profile of the Sex Hormones with Age
