In this study, the novel 5% minoxidil formulation significantly increased scalp hydration and decreased redness in Indian men with androgenetic alopecia compared to alcohol-based formulations.

This study compared the safety and effectiveness of 5% cetosomal minoxidil to 5% alcohol-based minoxidil in Indian men with androgenetic alopecia, finding that cetosomal minoxidil had improved safety and similar efficacy, making it a potentially better option for those sensitive to alcohol-based formulations.

In this survey, dermatologists in India reported preferring alcohol-free minoxidil combined with procapil and finasteride over traditional alcohol-based formulations for managing androgenetic alopecia, citing better tolerance and patient adherence.

This article reviews the challenges faced by beginners in setting up a hair transplantation practice and reports no new clinical findings.

Patch testing with different solvents helps find the right minoxidil formulation for those with scalp allergies.

This study found that the gel form of substance Y led to more hair follicles in the growth phase than 2% minoxidil solution when applied for alopecia treatment in mice.

The abstract describes a journal that covers a wide range of topics from basic research to dermo-aesthetics, emphasizing multidisciplinary approaches and scientific rigor across subjects like molecular biology, gene therapy, and dermocosmetics, but provides no specific study results.

In this study, adding TPGS to a minoxidil formulation improved local retention and reduced systemic absorption in certain solvent mixes, particularly with a balance of alcohol and PEG 400.

This study found that compounded minoxidil solutions in a propylene glycol-free and alcohol-reduced foam remained stable for 180 days, meeting United States Pharmacopeia standards for strength, pH, and antimicrobial effectiveness.

This study reported a case of a 34-year-old male developing allergic contact dermatitis to minoxidil solution, with positive patch test reactions attributed to the solution's ingredients, highlighting the potential for propylene glycol sensitivity.

Retinoids are effective for acne but can cause serious side effects.

This study proposes a new method to selectively isolate keratin-associated proteins and keratin from human hair, suggesting that KAPs may support keratin fibers in hair structure.

Using minoxidil can cause severe skin reactions in some people.

In this study, researchers found that a propylene glycol-free and alcohol-reduced topical foam containing minoxidil and finasteride remained chemically, physically, and microbially stable for 180 days when stored properly at room temperature in light-resistant containers.

This case report describes the topical application of cyclosporine in a man with alopecia universalis, which showed hair regrowth after 10 months of daily use, except where limited by a congenital nevus.

This review describes oncotherapy-induced alopecia in patients receiving hormone therapy for hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer and concludes that topical hormones should not be used due to oncogenic potential.

This study found that combining optical clearing methods with light-sheet fluorescence microscopy allows detailed 3D visualization of normal and pathological human skin biopsies, revealing differences in epidermal thickness and volume.

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 study found that liposomal formulations improved minoxidil delivery to skin layers compared to niosomes and a control solution, suggesting enhanced potential for topical hair loss treatment.

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.

In this study, ethosomes were found to improve the skin penetration of a model lipophilic drug more effectively than liposomes or hydroethanolic solutions, suggesting a unique mechanism involving the breakdown of vesicles in the skin.

This review discusses ethosomes as lipid carriers that enhance drug penetration into deep skin layers and underscores the need for advanced research on their pharmaceutical applications, but it reports no clinical outcomes.

PMS nanoparticles improve damaged hair by protecting and restoring its surface and color.

In this case report, a 25-year-old woman with androgenetic alopecia experienced contact dermatitis from a minoxidil preparation, confirmed by patch tests with both lotion and tablet forms.

A fatty acid/protein complex in human hair helps protect it from damage.

The hydrogel helps heal seawater-immersed wounds by reducing infection and inflammation.

This study found that solid lipid nanoparticles with minoxidil were as effective as commercial solutions for skin penetration and were non-corrosive, indicating potential for hair loss treatment.

This study found that using 2-hydroxypropyl-ß-cyclodextrin (HP-ß-CD) to encapsulate minoxidil can create a stable aqueous solution, potentially replacing the need for organic solvents in topical treatments for androgenic alopecia.
