Research cited in this study

7 / 7 results

research Do Nanoparticles Have a Future in Dermal Drug Delivery?

87 citations , September 2016 in “Journal of Controlled Release”

Nanoparticles can improve drug delivery to hair follicles but struggle to penetrate deeper skin layers.

research Hair Follicles as a Target Structure for Nanoparticles

59 citations , July 2015 in “Journal of innovative optical health sciences/Journal of innovation in optical health science”

This review examines the potential of nanoparticles for localized drug delivery via hair follicles but reports no new clinical results, with the authors noting a lack of commercial development despite research progress.

research Epidermal Development in Mammals: Key Regulators, Signals from Beneath, and Stem Cells

83 citations , May 2013 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences”

This review explores embryonic epidermal development and discusses key molecular regulators and roles of the sub-epidermal mesenchyme, but reports no new experimental results.

research Selective Follicular Targeting by Modification of the Particle Sizes

263 citations , February 2011 in “Journal of Controlled Release”

This study found that medium-sized particles (643 and 646 nm) penetrated deeper into porcine hair follicles in vitro than smaller or larger particles, suggesting size-selective targeting within follicular sites.

research Imaging of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticle Penetration in Human Skin In Vitro and In Vivo

264 citations , January 2008 in “Journal of biomedical optics”

This study found that ZnO nanoparticles in topical skin products do not penetrate beyond the outer skin layers in humans, suggesting minimal safety concerns for subdermal absorption.

research Scratching the Surface of Skin Development

788 citations , February 2007 in “Nature”

This review explores how adult skin epithelia preserve stem cell populations for hair follicle regeneration and wound healing, but reports no new experimental results.

research 40nm, But Not 750 or 1,500nm, Nanoparticles Enter Epidermal CD1a+ Cells After Transcutaneous Application on Human Skin

323 citations , April 2006 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study found that 40 nm nanoparticles can effectively penetrate into hair follicles and epidermal Langerhans cells in human skin samples, potentially enabling efficient transcutaneous vaccine delivery.
