    Studysummary This study reported that squarticles, nanoparticle carriers made from sebum-derived lipids, significantly enhanced minoxidil delivery to hair follicles in vitro, increasing follicular uptake sevenfold and minimizing systemic absorption compared to a free control solution, while showing good skin tolerability.
