Nanocarriers could improve how drugs are delivered through the skin but require more research to overcome challenges and ensure safety.

This study suggests that specific combinations of human type I and II hair keratins, particularly K35-K85 and K36-K81, have distinct in vitro assembly properties that are significant for macrofibril formation.

The researchers reported that sterol surfactants with a bulky planar structure effectively solubilized ultraviolet ray absorbers, offering a stable solution more efficiently than other surfactants.

This study found that transethosomal gel loaded with propranolol hydrochloride prolonged drug release and increased peak plasma concentration compared to an oral tablet, suggesting a promising alternative for delivery.

Minocycline may cause hair loss by increasing DHT levels, but finasteride can help counteract this effect.

This study found that coconut oil impedes hair hydration more effectively than soybean oil by penetrating deeper, and suggested a new model for intermediate filament assembly in hair.

Finasteride reduces testosterone conversion, progesterone lessens this, and levamisole enhances finasteride's effect.

This study found that moisture sorption properties of wool and hair fibers from various animals were similar, despite different structural features, with sorbed water being more ordered than liquid water.

This study found that Thy1+ keratinocytes in the basal layer of the interfollicular epidermis play a crucial role in epidermal homeostasis and wound repair, with their ablation impairing these processes.

This article discusses how nutritional and environmental factors, along with antioxidant supplementation, may improve hair growth by mitigating the effects of androgens and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that coconut oil significantly increased the tensile strength of twisted hair fibers due to its ability to penetrate the hair core, in contrast to mineral oil.

This study formulated an herbal shampoo using natural extracts and compared its physicochemical properties, such as pH and foam consistency, with commercial shampoos, finding that both performed similarly in conditioning tests conducted with twenty volunteers.

Among families with pediatric brain disease, this study identified over 200 novel genetic causes, revealing potential treatment points using drug repurposing or nutritional supplementation.

This study found that solid-state NMR combined with X-ray techniques provided critical insights into the structure and solvation of finasteride polymorphs, identifying gaps in existing patent characterizations.

This chapter provides an overview of the complex chemical and physical structure of the hair surface, detailing how factors like ethnicity, environmental stress, and cosmetic treatments can alter its properties and influence the adhesion of hair care products.

This study observed that the molecular structure of keratins in hair fibres' discrete transition zone differs in breast cancer patients, with altered lipid ester absorption bands reverting post-cancer removal.

This study found that a bioactive borosilicate glass containing Sr and Cu ions exhibited promising mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and antibacterial activity, particularly the CuSr-1 wt.% composition, suggesting potential for use in orthopedic implants and bone tissue engineering.

This study found that curcumin spanlastics demonstrated greater antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer activities in the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line compared to curcumin alone or curcumin nanocrystals, also affecting several cancer-related protein markers and showing enhanced solubility and activity.

This study developed HA-gel-dex hydrogels with enhanced ECM-like properties and functionality, showing promise for 3D bioprinting, tissue repair, and as wound dressings due to improved cell interaction, cytocompatibility, antimicrobial synergy, and wound healing in mice compared to traditional ECM bio-inks.

This study demonstrates that a novel autologous hair follicle-derived epithelial sheet can effectively repigment skin in patients with stable vitiligo, offering a potential new treatment option.

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 investigated the integration of crystal engineering and microneedle technology for androgenetic alopecia treatment, finding that microneedles loaded with newly developed Kopexil multicomponent crystals reduced drug diffusion rates in vitro compared to standard formulations.

In this study using mouse models, researchers found that elevated IL-17a in aged olfactory epithelium impairs olfactory function, while IL-17a inhibition promotes regeneration and mitigates age-related decline.

This study reports that carbamazepine can self-assemble into stable channel structures without guest polymers, while griseofulvin relies on guest molecules for structural stability in drug-polymer inclusion complexes.

This study investigated the molecular mechanisms behind the formation of drug-polymer inclusion complexes and found that carbamazepine can self-assemble into stable channel structures without guest polymers, unlike griseofulvin, which requires guest molecules for structural stability.

This research elucidates the molecular mechanisms underlying carbamazepine and griseofulvin's inclusion complex channel formations with polymers, revealing why carbamazepine forms stable channels independently, while griseofulvin requires polymeric support due to weaker interactions.

This study used quantitative methods to identify new geometric and mechanical parameters of curly and kinky/coily hair, aiming to improve classification and develop better personal care products for these hair types.

This study used molecular dynamics simulations to illustrate the complex molecular behavior of the hair surface F-layer, highlighting how fatty acids interact with 18-MEA under different conditions.

This study assessed lipid parameters and serum DHT levels in type 2 diabetes patients, but the abstract does not specify the findings about their association.

In this study, nanoemulsion formulations were found to significantly enhance the skin retention of the antiseptic agent triclosan, with the optimal mixture being a low surfactant concentration, as demonstrated through quantitative and qualitative analysis using tape-stripping and micro CT scans.
