Research cited in this study

4 / 4 results

research Enhanced Skin Permeation and Controlled Release of Beta-Sitosterol Using Cubosomes Encrusted with Dissolving Microneedles for the Management of Alopecia

5 citations , April 2023 in “Pharmaceuticals”

This study found that cubosomes combined with dissolving microneedles enhanced transdermal penetration and hair growth efficacy of beta-sitosterol for treating alopecia.

research Topical Delivery of Atraric Acid Derived From Stereocaulon Japonicum With Enhanced Skin Permeation and Hair Regrowth Activity for Androgenic Alopecia

January 2023 in “Pharmaceutics”

In this study, researchers developed a new topical atraric acid formulation, AA-TF#15, which showed a significantly higher drug penetration and increased hair regrowth in mice compared to minoxidil and finasteride treatments, suggesting its potential effectiveness for treating scalp androgenic alopecia.

research A Combination Therapy for Androgenic Alopecia Based on Quercetin and Zinc/Copper Dual-Doped Mesoporous Silica Nanocomposite Microneedle Patch

1 citations , December 2022 in “Bioactive Materials”

In this study, researchers developed a nanocomposite microneedle patch containing copper/zinc dual-doped silica nanoparticles, which release substances to promote hair follicle regeneration by targeting various pathophysiological aspects of androgenic alopecia, presenting an effective anti-hair loss treatment strategy.

research Lignans and Neolignans: Plant Secondary Metabolites as a Reservoir of Biologically Active Substances

112 citations , May 2019 in “Pharmacological Research”

This review discusses the isolation, structure, and bioactivity of lignans and neolignans from 2016 to mid-2018, reporting no new clinical results but highlighting their potential protective properties against diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration.
