    TLDR New liposomal formulations may improve delivery of treatments to hair follicles, potentially helping with hair loss.
    The document discusses the development of novel liposomal formulations aimed at improving the topical delivery of active agents directly to hair follicles and sebaceous glands, which could be beneficial for treating skin diseases like hair loss. The research focused on both small and large molecules, using minoxidil, a known hair growth stimulator, as the small molecule example, and plasmid DNA encoded with interleukin-1 receptor antagonist protein (IL-1ra) as the large molecule example. This suggests a shift in the scientific community towards recognizing follicular transport as a viable pathway for the delivery of topical treatments.

      Hair loss treatments, specifically the use of finasteride, microneedling and potentially oral minoxidil. People discussed their experiences with finasteride, its effects on sexual behaviors, as well as potential solutions such as tadalafil or using other growth factor signal peptides for hope in curing male pattern baldness.

      Topical minoxidil being a difficult product to apply, with users considering finasteride, RU58841, and oral minoxidil as alternative treatments for diffuse thinning hair. Other advice includes shaving the head in the first 3 months of using minoxidil and finding ways to apply it without saturating the hair.
