research Penetration of Drugs Through Skin: A Complex Rate-Controlling Membrane
The skin is a complex barrier for drug penetration, but understanding its structure and interactions can improve drug delivery methods.
research Nanocarrier Systems for Transdermal Drug Delivery
Nanocarriers could improve how drugs are delivered through the skin but require more research to overcome challenges and ensure safety.
research In Vivo Penetration of Bare and Lipid-Coated Silica Nanoparticles Across the Human Stratum Corneum
Lipid-coated silica nanoparticles penetrate human skin more deeply than bare silica nanoparticles.
research Follicular Penetration of Caffeine from Topically Applied Nanoemulsion Formulations Containing Penetration Enhancers: In Vitro Human Skin Studies
Nanoemulsion creams with certain enhancers can greatly increase caffeine delivery through skin.
research Chitosan Microparticles for Sustaining the Topical Delivery of Minoxidil Sulphate
Chitosan microparticles improve minoxidil sulphate delivery, potentially reducing daily applications.

5 / 25 resultscommunity How does hair loss and recovery work?
Hair loss varies due to genetic sensitivity to DHT and other factors. Treatments discussed include finasteride, minoxidil, RU58841, and microneedling.
community Meta analysis of minoxidil only vs 5AR inhibitors
Oral dutasteride is the most effective for hair regrowth, followed by oral finasteride and minoxidil. Topical finasteride combined with minoxidil is recommended for those avoiding systemic DHT reduction.
community Bloodwork reports just came in
A 21-year-old male suffering from male pattern baldness is using topical finasteride and minoxidil, and oral minoxidil. His bloodwork shows normal DHT levels and slightly high testosterone, leading to discussions about the role of DHT sensitivity in hair loss, the potential impact of finasteride on his DHT levels, and the suggestion to proceed with oral finasteride due to his high testosterone.
community A systematic bro-science review of DHT, 5AR, neurosteroids, sexual health and 5AR inhibitors
Hair loss treatments, specifically 5AR inhibitors, can impact neurosteroids and sexual health. The effects of topical fin/dut on tissue-specific DHT levels are unclear.
community Story time! The Great Unbalding (PP405)
PP405 is a promising new hair loss treatment that may reactivate dormant hair follicles without side effects. It could surpass traditional treatments like minoxidil and finasteride if successful in further trials.
