In this study, researchers identified two mechanisms of lipid loss from hair when exposed to surfactants, with the mechanism depending on the lipid's hydrophobicity.

This study developed a closed-loop system for emergency wound care that monitors infection in real-time using biomarkers and delivers amikacin-loaded liposomes for treatment, integrating a conductive hydrogel for environmental protection and antibacterial benefits.

This study found that incorporating CTA2-BADG, a modified hair-rebonding compound, into damaged hair significantly improved surface morphology and tensile strength by using charge-conversion chemistry to enhance penetration into the hair shaft.

This study evaluated a levan-based polysaccharide, POLEVAN®, in shampoo formulations and reported that it significantly increased hair glossiness by 24%, allowed a reduction of surfactant content by up to 50% without affecting foam, and maintained scalp moisturization similar to hyaluronic acid in a clinical setting.

This study found that hair membrane fluidity is low in the cuticle but high in the cortex and medulla, with treatments like ionic surfactants and oleic acid increasing fluidity in hydrated hair; however, dehydration significantly reduces fluidity throughout the hair.

This review highlights the benefits and controversies of silicones in hair care, emphasizing their ability to improve hair texture and moisture retention while addressing environmental concerns and product buildup.

This review examines new formulations for delivering 5-α-reductase inhibitors to improve targeted drug delivery in androgenetic alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that cationic vesicles enhanced minoxidil skin retention and in vivo hair growth efficacy compared to other formulation types due to electrostatic interactions with the skin.

This review reports on recent surfactant-based niosome formulations, including those with polysaccharides, for versatile drug delivery applications such as ocular, oral, and transdermal settings, while discussing their limitations and potential prospects.

This study reported that a novel cationic liposome formulation for delivering encapsulated Cas9 protein and sgRNA successfully decreased SRD5α2 mRNA expression by 29.7% in vitro, suggesting a potential alternative treatment option for conditions like prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia without current drug side effects.

This review highlights the promise of non-viral gene delivery systems, particularly genosomes, over traditional viral vectors due to enhanced safety and efficiency in therapeutic nucleic acid delivery for genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis and malignancies.

This study found that nanostructured lipid carriers with more soybean phosphatidylcholine provided better skin retention and follicular targeting for diphencyprone compared to other formulations and controls.

This study found that using spanlastics, a nano, surfactant-based drug delivery system, improved the bioavailability, drug release characteristics, and pharmacokinetic behavior of famotidine, a poorly soluble drug, by enhancing its dissolution and membrane permeation.

This study found that formulating raloxifene in nano-lipid carriers significantly enhanced its permeation and cytotoxicity against cancer cells compared to raw raloxifene.

This study reported that a colistin sulfate-loaded nanoemulgel showed improved antimicrobial activity and skin permeability compared to a CS solution, suggesting a potential new approach for treating severe infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria.

Hair care products are important for appearance and self-esteem, and choosing the right ones can help maintain healthy hair.

This review surveys the chemical composition and various uses of jojoba oil in medicine and industry but presents no new clinical results.

This review discusses various patent articles on microemulsion carriers in drug delivery systems and reports no new empirical findings.

This review explores the formulation, characterization, and applications of microemulsions, highlighting their potential for enhanced cutaneous drug delivery by improving bioavailability and enabling sustained release of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs.

This review highlights recent advancements in using niosomes as nanocarriers for improved delivery and sustained release of active cosmetic compounds, discussing their properties, applications, and future potential in cosmetic chemistry.

This study found that a developed nanostructured lipid carrier formulation of tea seed oil can effectively stimulate hair growth and reduce the oily feeling associated with direct application.

This review discusses the applications and challenges of lipid nanosystems in various fields, comparing techniques for evaluating nanoparticle properties, and reports no new experimental results.

Several companies launched new hair care ingredients in 2011 to improve conditioning, color retention, combability, and heat protection.

This study found that hair treated with shampoo containing water-soluble silicone demonstrated smoother sliding and better detangling, compared to shampoo with water-insoluble silicone, due to differences in conditioning film formation.

This study found that the uptake of molecules by hair is influenced by both hydrophobic and ionic charge interactions, with binding affinity decreasing as pH approaches the solute's dissociation constant.

This study found that polyquaternium-68 at pH 9 achieved the greatest hair deposition, while polyquaternium-44 demonstrated the best wash resistance at pH 6.

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 evaluated the physicochemical characteristics, safety, and efficacy of six herbal and six synthetic shampoos and found that all products performed well in various tests, with no skin irritancy observed, suggesting that both types can be considered safe for use.

In this case report, the researchers documented a rare instance of plica neuropathica, characterized by matted and twisted hair, occurring alongside diffuse alopecia, marking the first such documented association and emphasizing its diagnostic challenges in identifying causes of alopecia.

This case report describes a 50-year-old Kashmiri woman with plica polonica, detailing trichoscopic findings of entangled hair with crisscrossing shafts and concretions.
