June 2021 in “Nutrients” Fisetin in fruits and vegetables helps hair growth in mice.
June 2026 in “Discover Nano” Lipid-based nanoparticles present a promising approach for treating alopecia by enhancing drug delivery to hair follicles, improving therapeutic efficacy, and reducing side effects. These nanocarriers, including solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs), improve drug penetration and retention, offering advantages like controlled release and minimized systemic exposure. Studies demonstrate their effectiveness in promoting hair growth with agents like minoxidil and ginsenoside Rg3, particularly in animal models. Despite challenges in formulation stability and regulatory approval, lipid nanocarriers could provide more effective and non-invasive solutions for hair loss, with ongoing research needed to validate their safety and efficacy.
