January 2019 in “Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces” This study found that incorporating a block copolymer significantly alters the size and morphology of niosome drug delivery systems made of non-ionic surfactants and cholesterol, affecting their stability.
June 2026 in “International Journal of Drug Delivery Technology” This study highlights the potential of polymeric micelles in enhancing the targeted delivery and efficacy of treatments for androgenetic alopecia, by offering improved retention on the scalp, extended release, and reduced systemic side effects compared to conventional therapies like minoxidil and finasteride.
This study observed that chitosan-decorated PS404-b-PAA63 nanoparticles may enhance skin retention and reduce permeation flux of finasteride, suggesting potential for improved transdermal delivery.
April 2011 in “HAL (Le Centre pour la Communication Scientifique Directe)” This study suggests that polymersomes decorated with chitosan improve the transdermal delivery of finasteride, providing an alternative drug delivery system with higher drug retention in the skin.
