research Hyperbranched Glycerol-Based Core-Amphiphilic Branched Shell Nanotransporters for Dermal Drug Delivery
New nanocarriers improve skin drug delivery with low toxicity at certain concentrations.
research Core-Shell Nanocarriers Based on PEGylated Hydrophobic Hyperbranched Polyesters
The new nanocarriers improve how well water-insoluble drugs dissolve and allow for controlled drug release.
research Comparing the Delivery to the Hair Bulb of Two Fluorescent Molecules of Distinct Hydrophilicities by Different Nanoparticles and a Serum Formulation
Serum formulations were better at delivering molecules to the hair bulb than nanoparticles.
research Stem Cells as a Target for the Delivery of Active Molecules to Skin by Topical Administration
Topical treatments can deliver active molecules to skin stem cells, potentially helping treat skin and hair disorders, including skin cancers and hair loss.
research High-Resolution Structures of Mutants Affecting Access to the Ligand-Binding Cavity of Human Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D Synthase

Hair loss treatments, specifically Minoxidil and the tap method; Finasteride was also discussed but not recommended due to its side effects. Price and other information were requested.
community Hydrophobic Finasteride. Why don’t we have it?
The conversation discusses the potential benefits of creating a hydrophobic version of finasteride to reduce systemic side effects while maintaining scalp health. It compares this idea to fluridil, which is designed to be hydrophobic and has less systemic absorption.
community Why is dutasteride's volume of distribution so much bigger than finasteride? Is it more lipophilic and crosses barriers better?
Dutasteride has a larger volume of distribution than finasteride due to its lipophilic nature, allowing it to concentrate in hydrophobic areas and making it difficult to excrete. A user experiencing hair loss has been using oral finasteride for 10 months with minimal regrowth and is considering switching to dutasteride or adding oral minoxidil.
community Topical Finasteride that doesn’t go systematic is the cure
Topical finasteride that doesn't penetrate the skin could potentially treat hair loss without side effects. Current challenges include finding a formulation that remains on the scalp without increasing blood levels.
community Pyrilutamide Update Number Two
How Pyrilutamide, a hair loss treatment, has improved texture and regrowth of hair without any side effects for users, who are encouraged to post progress photos.
