research Oleic Acid Nanovesicles of Minoxidil for Enhanced Follicular Delivery
Oleic acid nanovesicles improve minoxidil absorption in hair follicles for alopecia treatment.
research Increased Levels of Prostaglandin-Like Material in Canine Blood During Arterial Hypotension Produced by Hydralazine, Dihydralazine, and Minoxidil
These drugs raise prostaglandin-like material in dog blood, possibly causing blood vessel widening.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research Skin Permeability and Transdermal Delivery Route of 50-nm Indomethacin-Loaded PLGA Nanoparticles
50-nm nanoparticles are better at penetrating skin and targeting hair follicles for drug delivery than 100-nm ones.
