This study reports that a novel ketoconazole-loaded microneedle array significantly enhances drug delivery and retention in the skin, demonstrating improved hair growth in animal models, suggesting a promising treatment for androgenic alopecia that addresses current topical therapies' limitations.

This study presents a modified method for synthesizing ~1 nm zinc oxide nanoparticles within the pores of SBA-11, maintaining the mesoporous structure without requiring alcohol reflux or basic solution reaction steps.

This research focused on formulating finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil with cyclodextrins to enhance their solubility and skin penetration for topical use, potentially reducing scalp irritation from current alcohol-based preparations.

This study observed that ethyl glucuronide (EtG) concentrations in hair decreased significantly during an abstinent period, suggesting possible wash-out effects or other factors affecting EtG levels.

This study found that a week of daily alcohol exposure during late adolescence led to a long-term increase in alcohol preference in adulthood, highlighting the sensitivity of this age group to alcohol's effects.

This review discusses the potential of using human hair proteomics for non-invasive diagnostic and forensic applications but reports no new results; the authors highlight areas needing further research.

This study found that using gallate-containing formulations like EGCG or tannic acid increased the solubility and controlled release of finasteride in microspheres, enhancing its dermal penetration in pig skin by 10 to 50 times compared to a control.

This study found that topical melatonin solution was associated with positive effects on hair density and reduction in hair loss for androgenetic alopecia, with good tolerability reported in several clinical trials.

This study found that both human and rat dermal papilla spheroids can induce hair follicle neogenesis, but larger spheroids increase inductivity without significantly affecting hair fiber diameter.

This study assessed minoxidil solubility in propylene glycol and water mixtures, comparing cosolvency models and examining thermodynamic properties, without reporting new clinical results.

This study found that a herbal shampoo and solution were more effective than placebo in reducing hair loss and improving hair growth in participants with androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium.

This study found that topical finasteride significantly increased hair count in men with androgenetic alopecia compared to placebo while maintaining similar efficacy to oral finasteride but with lower systemic exposure and a reduced impact on serum DHT levels, potentially minimizing sexual side effects.

This phase II study found that a 0.05% topical dutasteride solution was more effective than oral finasteride (1 mg/day) in increasing hair count and width in males with androgenetic alopecia over 24 weeks, without causing irritation.

This study found that the MorrF topical solution combination showed significantly better hair growth improvements than Minoxidil alone in male patients with Androgenetic Alopecia.

This study found that using monoolein cubic phase nanoparticles with an entrapped hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin/minoxidil complex increased minoxidil skin permeation, but minoxidil retention in the skin was higher with a traditional solution.

New skin substitutes for treating severe burns and chronic wounds are being developed, but a permanent solution for deep wounds is not yet available commercially.

This study found that nanoemulsions incorporating skin penetration enhancers significantly increased the permeation of minoxidil through human skin compared to aqueous control solutions.

This study evaluated a menthol-based microemulsion for transdermal delivery of finasteride and silodosin, finding that it enhanced skin permeation and flux compared to aqueous solutions, suggesting a promising method for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This review describes how liver and kidney diseases and diabetes may affect ethyl glucuronide levels in hair, impacting forensic and clinical interpretations, but reports no new experimental results.

This review highlights the use of microneedling devices and patches to deliver cosmetic agents through the skin, noting their applications in skin rejuvenation and safety considerations such as potential skin irritation and infection.

The researchers reported that caprylic acid effectively enhances the permeability and diffusion of minoxidil through rat skin compared to other penetration enhancers.

The researchers found that plant extracts from Papaver rhoeas L., Clitoria ternatea L., and Carthamus tinctorius L. are effective natural cosmetic dyes, offering intense and stable colors without cytotoxicity.

This study found that maternal sub-maintenance nutrition reduced the density and branching ratio of secondary wool follicles in Merino sheep fetuses and identified genes potentially involved in these processes.

This study reports that hair analysis could potentially monitor metformin use in diabetic patients, suggesting a possible correlation between daily dose and concentration in dark hair but not in light hair.

In this study, finasteride altered acute ethanol withdrawal severity differently in male and female mice, highlighting sex differences in sensitivity to changes in neurosteroid levels.

This study found that cubosomal suspensions significantly enhanced the hair growth-promoting effects of Thuja orientalis, Polygonum multiflorum Thunberg, and Espinosilla extracts in a mouse model, making them as effective as Minoxidil.

This review discusses various treatment options for alopecia areata tailored by age and severity, providing a practical algorithm, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, topical 5% roxithromycin was effective in restoring hair growth in about half of individuals with androgenetic alopecia without causing adverse effects.

This review updates on the development of liposomal carriers for delivering growth factors to improve tissue regeneration and highlights recent efforts to enhance their stability and retention in tissues.

This study found that cortisol levels, a biomarker of chronic stress, significantly increased in the post-COVID-19 lockdown period compared to pre-lockdown and during-lockdown periods, especially among females and young adults, reflecting sustained psychological stress from the pandemic.
