5 / 1000+ resultsresearch The Comparison of In Vitro Photosensitizing Efficacy of Curcumin-Loaded Liposomes Following Photodynamic Therapy on Melanoma MUG-Mel2, Squamous Cell Carcinoma SCC-25, and Normal Keratinocyte HaCaT Cells
The study evaluated the efficacy of curcumin-loaded liposomes in photodynamic therapy (PDT) on melanoma (MUG-Mel2), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC-25), and normal keratinocyte (HaCaT) cells. It demonstrated that liposomal curcumin significantly enhanced phototoxicity and apoptosis in cancer cells compared to free curcumin, with a 53% reduction in MUG-Mel2 and 58% in SCC-25 cell viability. The treatment also inhibited cancer cell migration, suggesting potential in preventing metastasis. Importantly, normal HaCaT cells maintained about 90% viability, indicating reduced toxicity. These findings suggested that liposomal curcumin could improve PDT effectiveness for skin cancers while minimizing harm to normal cells, warranting further in vivo testing.

5 / 7 resultscommunity When you start balding you notice how unnatural this phenomenon is
Hair loss is a common issue, with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil used but not as permanent cures. Frustration exists over societal perceptions and the lack of a definitive solution.
community New potential hair loss treatment (news release)
New potential hair loss treatment uses molecules from hairy moles to stimulate follicle growth. Topical solution requires less frequent application, like Botox injections a few times per year.
community I started rapidly diffuse thinning at 22. I'm 42 now and have as much hair as I did at 16. AMA
Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole, PRP, and microneedling helped maintain hair for 20 years. Research and try evidence-based treatments for best results.
community Scalp Sunburns cause permanent hair loss. UPF hats protect you. Watch if you use Tretinoin on the scalp
Sunburns on the scalp can cause permanent hair loss, especially for those using Tretinoin or Tacrolimus. Wearing UPF 50+ hats is recommended to protect against UV radiation.
community Why the cure is not yet found and why it is always 5 years away? Why no hopes on PP405, GT, KX, Hair cloning, AMP, etc, etc, etc
Skepticism about hair loss research motivations, suggesting financial interests hinder finding a cure. Mentions treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride, but notes they are not cures.
