research Optimized skin optical clearing for optical coherence tomography monitoring of encapsulated drug delivery through the hair follicles

19 citations , January 2020 in “Journal of Biophotonics”

This study found that using a PEG-400/oleic acid mixture as an optical clearing agent enhanced the detection depth of particles in skin without causing dehydration, based on tests in rats and further testing in vivo.

research A Simple Non-Invasive Approach toward Efficient Transdermal Drug Delivery Based on Biodegradable Particulate System

48 citations , April 2019 in “ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces”

In this study, researchers introduced calcium carbonate-based carriers for transdermal drug delivery, observing efficient transport of substances and systemic absorption in rats, suggesting potential applications in regenerative medicine and dermatology beyond conventional topical treatments.

research Photoacoustic imaging for prostate brachytherapy

January 2014 in “cIRcle (University of British Columbia)”

This research found that modifying brachytherapy seeds with contrast-enhancing materials in photoacoustic imaging increased signal-to-noise ratios and imaging depth, and demonstrated potential for tissue differentiation by analyzing temperature-induced changes in PA intensity.

research Subsurface detection of hair follicles in alopecia areata using optical coherence tomography

2 citations , January 2022 in “Skin research and technology”

In this study, optical coherence tomography detected hair follicles at the dermoepidermal junction not visible on the scalp surface in alopecia areata patients, suggesting OCT may help monitor treatment response.

research Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy as a Tool for the Investigation of Skin Drug Delivery Systems and Diagnosis of Skin Disorders

4 citations , March 2013 in “InTech eBooks”

Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) is a useful tool for studying how drugs interact with skin and diagnosing skin disorders, despite some limitations.
