    GlossaryLipid Nanoparticles (lipid nano-carriers)

    tiny, fat-based carriers used to deliver drugs into cells

    Lipid Nanoparticles (LNPs) are tiny, spherical particles made from lipids, which are fat-like molecules. They are used to deliver drugs, including genetic material like mRNA, directly into cells. This technology is crucial in modern medicine, such as in the development of mRNA vaccines for COVID-19, because it protects the therapeutic material and ensures it reaches the target cells effectively.

      A 22-year-old male is not seeing hair regrowth after using minoxidil and finasteride for a year and additional treatments for three months. Suggestions include improving scalp absorption with sea salt and trying a lipid-based solution, microneedling, and possibly switching to dutasteride if no improvement after 1-2 years.

      community Hydrophobic Finasteride. Why don’t we have it?

      in Chat  7 upvotes 1 week ago
      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.
