October 2005 in “European journal of pharmaceutics and biopharmaceutics” This study found that polymers significantly improved the chemical and microbial stability of steroid hormones in liposome formulations over eight weeks, with finasteride showing the highest diffusion rate.
39 citations
,
November 2013 in “European journal of pharmaceutics and biopharmaceutics” This study found that massaging the skin significantly increases follicular penetration of liposomes in an ex vivo setting, while occlusion only enhanced penetration for rigid liposomes.
