    TLDR Minoxidil nanoliposomes boost hair growth and reduce scalp bacteria better than regular minoxidil.
    This study investigated the effects of minoxidil nanoliposomes (MXD-NLs) on hair growth and scalp disinfection in mice, comparing them to free minoxidil (MXD). Over 15 days, MXD-NLs and free MXD were applied to shaved mouse hair, and their impact on hair growth and scalp bacteria was measured. The MXD-NLs group showed significantly higher hair growth (0.65±0.1 cm) compared to the free MXD group (0.53±0.2 cm). Additionally, MXD-NLs demonstrated a superior disinfectant effect, reducing scalp bacteria more effectively (p=0.0456). These findings suggest that MXD-NLs offer enhanced hair growth stimulation and scalp disinfection compared to free MXD, presenting a promising new formulation for alopecia treatment.
