research Self-assembled polymeric nanocarriers for the targeted delivery of retinoic acid to the hair follicle
The new micelle formulation delivers acne treatment more effectively and safely than current gels.
research Ablative Fractional Resurfacing in Topical Drug Delivery: An Update and Outlook
Ablative fractional resurfacing could improve how well topical drugs penetrate the skin, but more research is needed to fine-tune the method.
research Management of Hirsutism
Antiandrogens, particularly flutamide and CPA, are most effective for treating hirsutism, with long-term use needed for best results.
research Enzymatic and non-enzymatic sulfation mechanisms in the biological actions of minoxidil
Minoxidil needs activation to work, and minoxidil sulfate helps with hair growth and blood pressure.
research Advances in nucleoside monophosphate prodrugs as anti-HCV agents
New treatments for Hepatitis C show promise but need more research to confirm their safety and effectiveness for clinical use.
research Comparison of artificial sebum with human and hamster sebum samples

Selective non-steroidal inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 1 can help treat DHT-related disorders.
research Preparation and characterization of dutasteride-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers coated with stearic acid-chitosan oligomer for topical delivery
The new dutasteride formula can be applied to the skin, may promote hair growth, and has fewer side effects.
research Recent studies on the delivery of hydrophilic drugs in nanoparticulate systems
Nanoparticulate systems improve drug delivery by controlling release, protecting drugs, changing absorption and distribution, and concentrating drugs in targeted areas.
research Polymeric nanoparticles-embedded organogel for roxithromycin delivery to hair follicles
Scientists created a gel with nanoparticles to deliver medicine to hair follicles effectively.

research Review of Fluconazole Properties and Analytical Methods for Its Determination
Fluconazole is an effective antifungal medication with potential side effects and lacks official analytical methods for its determination.
research Realising the therapeutic potential of neuroactive steroid modulators of the GABAA receptor
Neuroactive steroids show promise for treating mental and neurological disorders by targeting GABA_A receptors.
research Minoxidil Skin Delivery from Nanoemulsion Formulations Containing Eucalyptol or Oleic Acid: Enhanced Diffusivity and Follicular Targeting
Eucalyptol and oleic acid in nanoemulsions improve minoxidil delivery to hair follicles, potentially enhancing hair loss treatment.
research Anti-MRSA malleable liposomes carrying chloramphenicol for ameliorating hair follicle targeting
DA liposomes with chloramphenicol effectively target hair follicles and combat MRSA with minimal skin toxicity.
research Xenobiotica-metabolizing enzymes in the skin of rat, mouse, pig, guinea pig, man, and in human skin models
Different species and human skin models vary in their skin enzyme activities, with pig skin and some models closely matching human skin, useful for safety assessments and understanding the skin's protective roles.
research Positive lymphocyte transformation test in a patient with allergic contact dermatitis of the scalp after short-term use of topical minoxidil solution
Patient had scalp allergy from minoxidil; test helped identify cause and suggest alternative treatments.
research Topical ALA-Photodynamic Therapy for Acne Can Induce Apoptosis of Sebocytes and Down-regulate Their TLR-2 and TLR-4 Expression
ALA-photodynamic therapy helps reduce acne by causing acne cell death and lowering certain skin protein levels.
research Development of a Two-Dimensional Model for Predicting Transdermal Permeation with the Follicular Pathway: Demonstration with a Caffeine Study
