    TLDR Quercetin-loaded nanoparticles protect human hair from UV-B damage.
    The study evaluated the protective effects of quercetin-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) on human hair against UV-B radiation. Quercetin, known for its antioxidant properties, was encapsulated in SLNs to improve its effectiveness. Various formulations were tested, and the optimal one significantly reduced hair damage, maintaining lower roughness and protein loss even after prolonged UV-B exposure. FTIR analysis confirmed that the optimized SLN formulation effectively prevented structural changes in hair proteins and lipids, suggesting its potential as an effective ingredient in hair care products to prevent sun-induced hair damage.

      The group buy for CB-03-01, a topical anti-androgen for hair loss, was postponed and refunded due to issues with the product's form and solubility. The product, also known as Breezula, is an alternative to finasteride with fewer side effects, but its official release is delayed until 2021.

      community Polydopamine Synergizes with Quercetin Nanosystem to Reshape the Perifollicular Microenvironment for Accelerating Hair Regrowth in Androgenetic Alopecia.

      in Research/Science  13 upvotes 7 months ago
      A quercetin-encapsulated and polydopamine-integrated nanosystem (PDA@QLipo) shows promise for treating androgenetic alopecia by reshaping the perifollicular microenvironment, outperforming minoxidil in hair regeneration. The nanosystem promotes cell proliferation, hair follicle renewal, and recovery by scavenging reactive oxygen species and enhancing neovascularity.
