This review explores plant-derived exosomes as promising alternatives to synthetic wound-healing agents due to their ability to regulate signaling pathways involved in skin repair, while also addressing challenges in their clinical application.
March 2026 in “ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces” This study described a novel three-dimensional-printed microneedle system designed for improved transdermal delivery of minoxidil to treat hair loss, demonstrating effective hair regrowth and safety in a mouse model while allowing sustainable needle base recovery.
This study developed a novel, 3D-printed dissolving microneedle system for delivering minoxidil to treat hair loss, which showed pH-triggered drug release and enhanced hair regrowth in an alopecia mouse model, offering a potentially sustainable and safe transdermal therapy option.
April 2021 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” New inhibitors may help treat hair loss by promoting fat cell growth in the skin.
