In Vitro Permeation of Drugs Into Porcine Hair Follicles: Is It Quantitatively Equivalent to Permeation Into Human Hair Follicles?

    Yakov Frum, Gillian M. Eccleston, Victor M. Meidan
    Studysummary This study found that porcine skin serves as a reliable model for studying drug absorption into human hair follicles, showing a strong correlation in follicular drug absorption between porcine and human skin.
