research Ultrasonic Hollow Microneedle Array (USHM) for Androgenetic Alopecia Treatment through Modulating the Expression of Hair-Growth-Associated Genes
Ultrasonic microneedles improve hair regrowth treatment effectiveness without side effects.
research Self-Amplifying RNA Approach for Protein Replacement Therapy
Self-amplifying RNA could be a better option for protein replacement therapy with lower doses and lasting effects, but delivering it into cells is still challenging.
research Dual-phase release finasteride-loaded microspheres for androgenetic alopecia treatment: rapid intervention and sustained control of dihydrotestosterone
A new finasteride treatment may quickly and effectively promote hair regrowth.
research Need for a Standardized Translational Drug Development Platform: Lessons Learned from the Repurposing of Drugs for COVID-19
A standardized drug development platform is essential for efficient and effective drug repurposing, especially during pandemics.
research Hair regrowth boosting via minoxidil cubosomes: Formulation development, in vivo hair regrowth evaluation, histopathological examination and confocal laser microscopy imaging
A new version of minoxidil, a hair loss treatment, was made using nanotechnology. This version, called minoxidil cubosomes, works better and causes fewer skin reactions than the old version. It also penetrates and stays in the skin better, promoting hair regrowth. It's safe and could be a good alternative to current treatments.
research Regulatory, Ethical, and Safety Considerations of Exosome‐Based Therapies in Dermatology
Exosome-based therapies in dermatology show promise but face challenges in standardization, regulation, and safety.
research Provenge is Talk of GU Malignancies Congress
Provenge extends prostate cancer survival by about 4 months.
research LB789 Novel IFNγ aptamer TAGX-0003 protected hair follicles from immune privilege collapse and reversed Alopecia Areata like phenotype in humanized mouse model
TAGX-0003 protected hair follicles and reversed alopecia areata in a mouse model.
research Two‐photon microscopy for intracutaneous imaging of stem cell activity in mice
Two-photon microscopy effectively tracks live stem cell activity in mouse skin with minimal harm and clear images.
research Quantification of biotin in plasma samples by column switching liquid chromatography – tandem mass spectrometry
The document describes a way to measure biotin in blood to prevent wrong test results in hormone level testing.
research Remote loading of minoxidil in nano-reservoirs leads to polymorphism and controlled release
research Optimisation of microstructured biodegradable finasteride formulation for depot parenteral application
Improved finasteride formula allows slow, sustained release and better absorption for patients.
research Clinical Snippets
Increased pigmentation may protect skin from UVB, new targets for skin disease treatments were identified, sunscreen ingredients don't affect hormones, TNF-α inhibitors may help diabetic wounds, and certain treatments could prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss.
research 532P Analyses of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) with mirvetuximab soravtansine (MIRV) versus standard chemotherapy in the randomized phase III FORWARD I study in ovarian cancer (GOG 3011)
Mirvetuximab soravtansine improves quality of life and reduces symptoms more than standard chemotherapy in ovarian cancer patients.
research Microsponges-mediated targeted topical delivery of rosemary oil for hair growth promotion: optimization and in-vivo studies
Microsponges with rosemary oil significantly improve hair growth compared to regular rosemary oil and minoxidil.
research A umbilical cord blood-derived exosome product simulates hair growth through laminin V and collagen XVII: an ex vivo study
Limelight (CB-EVs) safely promotes hair growth.
research Patent Evaluation: Δ-4,6-Steroids as Potent 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New steroids were patented as effective for treating acne, hair loss, and other conditions related to hormones.
research Exosome-based Therapies for Androgenetic Alopecia: Mechanisms, MicroRNAs, and Clinical Prospects
Exosome therapy could be a promising new way to treat hair loss.
research Therapeutic Potential of Secretome from Hypoxic-Mesenchymal Stem Cell (SH-MSC) in Regulating PDGF and IL-1β Gene Expression in Fluconazole-Related Alopecia
SH-MSCs can improve hair growth by balancing gene expressions in fluconazole-related hair loss.
research Microemulsions as Carriers for Therapeutic Molecules
Microemulsions could improve how drugs are delivered and absorbed in the body.
research Single‐Cell RNA Sequencing Highlights a Contribution of Human Amniotic Mesenchymal Stem Cells‐Derived Exosomes to Androgenetic Alopecia
