December 2025 in “Molecular Pharmaceutics” In this study, researchers developed a coamorphous form of tadalafil and finasteride, showing improved solubility and dissolution in vitro, with results successfully translated in vivo in rats. They reported reasonable stability, suggesting this form could serve as a therapeutic alternative to the current marketed combination.
December 2025 in “OPAL (Open@LaTrobe) (La Trobe University)” In this study, researchers created a coamorphous system combining tadalafil and finasteride that demonstrated improved solubility, dissolution, and stability compared to their physical mixture, offering potential therapeutic advantages for benign prostatic hyperplasia.
This review highlights that surface mechanical regulation can program macrophage behavior through specific mechanical cues on material surfaces, potentially advancing immunotherapies and regenerative medicine by enabling precise control over macrophage functions.
