June 2026 in “Advanced Healthcare Materials” This study introduces a taurine-based active pharmaceutical ingredient ionic liquid (CTIL) as a novel treatment for androgenic alopecia (AGA). CTIL is synthesized through a one-step method and functions both as a delivery carrier and a therapeutic agent. It effectively penetrates the skin barrier, targeting hair follicles to deliver antioxidants and modulate the perifollicular microenvironment by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS). In vitro studies show that CTIL's hydrogen-bond network structure enhances its penetration and accumulation in hair follicles. In an AGA animal model, CTIL reduced ROS, alleviated oxidative damage and inflammation, inhibited hair follicle miniaturization, and promoted hair regrowth. This research highlights the potential of bioactive ionic liquids in treating AGA by integrating delivery and therapeutic functions.

October 2024 in “Artificial Cells Nanomedicine and Biotechnology” The study investigated the use of Lens culinaris L. total extract (LCTE) for synthesizing silver nanoparticles (LC-AgNPs) and evaluated their anticancer and antimicrobial properties. The LC-AgNPs, characterized as spherical with an average size of 19.22 nm, demonstrated potent cytotoxic activity against MCF-7, HCT-116, and HepG2 cancer cell lines, with IC50 values of 0.37, 0.35, and 0.1 µg/mL, respectively. They induced apoptosis and affected cell cycle phases differently across the cell lines. Additionally, LC-AgNPs showed strong antimicrobial activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii. Molecular docking identified Kaempferol-3-O-robinoside-7-O-rhamnoside and Quercetin-3-D-xyloside as key constituents inhibiting Bcl-2 and IspC cancer targets when combined with the nanoparticles.
