January 2000 in “Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin” In this study, the researchers observed that the transdermal permeation mechanisms of diclofenac salts differ based on counterions, with varying pathways and routes for passive and iontophoretic transport.
January 2026 in “Regenerative Biomaterials” This study highlights that hydrogel formulations unexpectedly prolonged healing in trials, pointing to a need for design based on detailed pathophysiological insights rather than empirical methods, and suggests technologies like AI materials optimization and 3D bioprinting to aid their clinical use for cancer survivors.
December 2009 in “Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (Universidade de São Paulo)” This study found that iontophoresis significantly increased the retention of minoxidil sulfate in hair follicles, potentially improving drug delivery for androgenic alopecia treatment.
