In this study, a 5% Gymnema sylvestre leaf extract formulation applied to C3H mice showed significantly delayed hair regrowth by increasing TGF-β1 and TGF-β2 expression while reducing β-catenin levels, suggesting its potential as a natural hair growth inhibitor.

This review explores how colloidal drug delivery systems can enhance the stability, absorption, and bioavailability of phytochemicals, potentially rediscovering ancient compounds' therapeutic benefits and overcoming limitations like poor solubility and bioavailability.

This review explores the use of skin penetration enhancers like Transcutol® in various formulation systems, discussing their mechanisms and effectiveness in improving transdermal drug delivery without breaching the skin.

This study reported that nanoemulsions significantly improved the skin permeability of thiocolchicoside compared to its aqueous solution, suggesting they are effective carriers for its transdermal delivery.

This study found that a topical transethosomal system may enhance the skin penetration and deposition of naftifine compared to a marketed cream, potentially overcoming the stratum corneum barrier.

This study found that Kaempferia galanga ethanolic extract has potential as an antifungal agent in an oil-in-water cream formulation, exhibiting stable physicochemical properties in laboratory tests.

This study developed a rapid and sensitive method for determining finasteride concentrations in pharmaceuticals, with results comparable to those from the standard HPLC method.

This review suggests that standardized herbal shampoos may offer a safe and sustainable alternative to synthetic products due to their natural saponins and multifunctional benefits, though challenges in consistency and shelf-life persist.

In this study, a newly developed polyherbal hair oil exhibited promising characteristics, including a beneficial pH and antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, with preliminary tests suggesting it supports scalp and hair health without adverse effects.

In this study, researchers formulated a herbal hair oil with natural ingredients and reported that 56.25% of participants experienced increased hair growth and 50% had reduced hair fall after 3 months, without significant side effects.

This study examined the stability of two 5α-reductase inhibitors in Tectona grandis extracts, finding that they are more stable in acidic environments and degrade rapidly under heat and light unless protected, suggesting the need for careful storage when developing anti-hair loss medications.

This review discusses the potential of plant polyphenols to overcome multidrug resistance in various solid cancers and reports no new experimental results; further research is suggested.

This study developed a high performance capillary electrophoresis method, validated for both legal and illicit minoxidil-based products, to confirm minoxidil's presence alongside known impurities.

This study found that 1% ketoconazole and 1% piroctone olamine shampoos increased hair shaft thickness and reduced hair shedding in men with telogen effluvium and androgenic alopecia associated with dandruff.

This study presents a validated HPTLC method for simultaneously determining five BPH drugs, showing high sensitivity and selectivity for potential use in quality-control analysis.

This study evaluated water extracts from Ambon banana humps incorporated into a cream bath and found it had suitable physical characteristics for use as a hair growth product.

This study suggests that nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems can improve the targeted, sustained delivery and stability of dermatological treatments, potentially leading to better outcomes and reduced side effects for various aesthetic skin conditions, though further clinical trials are needed to confirm these benefits.

In this study, researchers developed WS Biotin, a new water-soluble form of biotin, and found that it significantly improves water solubility compared to free biotin and enhances hair-related keratin expression, gene activity for hair growth in vitro, while also reducing melanin content in skin cells.

This study found that an anti-dandruff shampoo containing Bromelain effectively preserves hair fiber integrity, enhances uniformity and lustre, and offers therapeutic benefits for scalp infections and inflammation, making it a safer alternative for dandruff treatment.

In this large retrospective study, patients using compounded topical finasteride and minoxidil through a telehealth platform for male androgenetic alopecia reported high satisfaction and low incidence of side effects, with no need for higher care or treatment discontinuation due to adverse reactions.

This review explores hirsutism in women with PCOS, analyzing its pathophysiology and management through both modern medicine and Unani perspectives, and suggests combining these approaches for more holistic care, while calling for future research to enhance treatment efficacy and safety.

This review discusses the advancements in using "soft" colloidal nanocarriers for delivering photosensitive agents and highlights their potential applications in treating diseases like cancer, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that polymeric nanoparticles may effectively deliver finasteride topically to hair follicles, potentially improving alopecia treatment with fewer side effects than oral forms.

This study found that massaging the skin significantly increases follicular penetration of liposomes in an ex vivo setting, while occlusion only enhanced penetration for rigid liposomes.

This study found that a conditioner containing Spirulina platensis and Ascophyllum nodosum extracts improved hair shine and reduced combability force after 28 days of use.

This study found that porcine-placenta-extract-loaded nanoformulated serum improved skin hydration and promoted hair growth, as well as reduced intracellular ROS and inflammation without cytotoxicity in human subjects.
