research Cutaneous absorption of nanostructured chitin associated with natural synergistic molecules (Lutein)

10 citations , April 2008

This article explores the potential of chitin nanofibrils as a bioactive polymer for skin applications by examining their hydrophilic properties and effects on cell behavior, but presents no new experimental results.

research Cell-repellent polyampholyte for conformal coating on microstructures

June 2022 in “Scientific Reports”

This study found that prevelex coatings on microwell array devices enhanced the formation of uniform cell spheroids and enabled the development of hair follicles in tissue engineering applications.

research The role of tight junctions in skin barrier function and dermal absorption

156 citations , August 2016 in “Journal of controlled release”

This review summarizes current knowledge on tight junctions in mammalian skin and their role in drug delivery and interaction with other barrier components, but reports no new experimental results.

research Preparation and Evaluation of Curcumin Nanocrystals for Topical Administration: Cell Line Analysis and Histopathological Examination

April 2026 in “Journal of Pharmaceutical Innovation”

In this study, the researchers developed and optimized a curcumin nanocrystal gel to enhance skin permeability, reporting improved dissolution properties and antiproliferative effects on cell lines, suggesting it as a promising topical delivery system.

research Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy as a Tool for the Investigation of Skin Drug Delivery Systems and Diagnosis of Skin Disorders

4 citations , March 2013 in “InTech eBooks”

Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) is a useful tool for studying how drugs interact with skin and diagnosing skin disorders, despite some limitations.

community Opinions on best microneedling protocol? Some thoughts...

11 upvotes 3 years ago

Microneedling can enhance hair growth by improving minoxidil absorption and stimulating blood flow. Users discuss optimal needle depths, with some favoring shallow frequent needling for better absorption and others preferring deeper needling for stem cell activation.

community True hair loss Vs shedding cycle

2 upvotes 7 months ago

The user stabilized hair loss with oral finasteride, dutasteride, and topical minoxidil, and underwent a stem cell and PRP procedure. Recent increased hair shedding may be due to restarting dermarolling, affecting minoxidil absorption, or the waning effects of the stem cell treatment.

community Natural sweetener Stevia found to turbocharge male pattern baldness treatment: Mice given Stevia patch had 18 times better absorption of minoxidil and hair coverage of 67.5% in bald areas after just 35 days.

1741 upvotes 9 months ago

Stevia microneedles increased minoxidil absorption and hair growth in mice. The conversation humorously questions the applicability of these results to humans.

community Steam cells treatment research is promising

in Research/Science 48 upvotes 1 year ago

Stem cell treatment research shows promise in reversing hair loss in mice, but it's likely 10 years away and expensive. Current recommended treatments include minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants.

community If I put tretinoin on my face and take oral min what happens

in Minoxidil 6 upvotes 1 year ago

Tretinoin boosts the absorption of topical minoxidil but does not affect oral minoxidil. Tretinoin is beneficial for skincare but does not enhance hair growth when used as a face cream.

learn Stem Cell Factor

What is stem cell factor and why is it used in hair growth treatments? Stem cell factor is a signalling protein linked to hair colour in lab and mouse studies; it is not a proven hair-loss treatment in people.
Does stem cell factor help activate dormant hair follicles? Lab and mouse studies link stem cell factor to hair colour; it has not been shown to reactivate dormant hair follicles in people.
Are stem cell factor products safe for long-term scalp use? Long-term safety of stem cell factor scalp products has not been studied in people; the one human trial of injected stem cell factor reported skin reactions and lasting dark patches.
