January 2022 in “Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences” This study investigated the physicochemical properties of polystyrene-b-poly(acrylic acid) nanovesicles coated with modified chitosans, finding that they can effectively control surface charge and potentially serve as drug delivery carriers with a 50.7% encapsulation efficiency for minoxidil.
January 2014 in “HAL (Le Centre pour la Communication Scientifique Directe)” Chitosan-decorated carriers may improve topical finasteride delivery for hair loss treatment.
May 2026 in “Nature Environment and Pollution Technology” This study found that both acute and chronic exposure to nano polystyrene in laboratory rats disrupted hematological function, increased oxidative stress, and led to behavioral and physiological changes, like anemia-like effects and neurological disruptions, suggesting its potential as a cumulative toxicant.
