December 2023 in “Azerbaijan Pharmaceutical and Pharmacotherapy J” The minoxidil gel could be a better treatment for hair loss than traditional forms.
October 2022 in “Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology” This study investigates bioengineered polyester nanoparticles (NPs) coated with dermal papilla cell membranes for treating androgenic alopecia (AGA). These NPs encapsulate dutasteride (DUT) and siRNA targeting the androgen receptor (siAR), aiming to suppress 5α-reductase and knockdown androgen receptors. The cell membrane coating enhances biocompatibility and targeted drug delivery to hair follicles. In vitro and in vivo experiments showed that these NPs effectively penetrated skin, released drugs in a controlled manner, and significantly promoted hair growth in a mouse model, suggesting a promising therapeutic approach for AGA.
