minoxidil nanoparticles skin penetration epidermal layer receptor solution phospholipid liposomes ethanol–water admixture hair follicles confocal microscopy Rogaine nanoparticles skin absorption epidermis receptor solution liposomes ethanol-water mixture hair follicles confocal microscopy

Studysummary In this study, researchers found that in hairy guinea pig skin, minoxidil delivered via 40-nm nanoparticles had higher skin penetration than 130-nm nanoparticles, indicating nanoparticle size affects permeation.
