May 2026 in “Drug Delivery and Translational Research” The study investigates dual-drug nanostructured lipid carriers containing spironolactone and 2-deoxy-D-ribose for targeted delivery to hair follicles in treating androgenetic alopecia. This approach aims to enhance treatment efficacy by improving drug delivery directly to affected areas, highlighting the potential of nanocarrier-based systems to provide a more effective solution for hair loss. Specific details on study size or outcomes are not provided.
