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

In this survey study, participants from scalp cooling Facebook groups reported benefiting from shared experiences, instructions, insurance advice, and product recommendations, although only a minority sought dermatologist consultations, suggesting these groups provide a significant informational platform for chemotherapy-induced alopecia patients.

Scalp cooling reduces chemotherapy-induced hair loss without increasing risk of skin metastases.

This study found that scalp cooling significantly improved hair preservation and reduced psychological distress in gynecologic cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy compared to usual care.

This study analyzed the cost-effectiveness of scalp cooling as a means of preventing chemotherapy-induced hair loss and found it to be financially reasonable compared to dermatologic management strategies, suggesting that it should be considered for routine insurance coverage due to its cost-effectiveness.

This study found that the EpiLight Hair Removal System achieved approximately 60% hair removal after 12 weeks following a single treatment, indicating effectiveness and safety for long-term hair reduction.

This article discusses the extended theory of selective photothermolysis and does not report new clinical results; the authors explore potential applications in hair removal techniques.

This study used numerical models to explore the cooling power required by different scalp cooling devices to prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss, finding that coolant temperature significantly influences scalp tissue temperatures.

This study developed and validated a computational model to optimize skin precooling methods for minimizing thermal damage during laser procedures.

This study found that adjuvant docetaxel treatment for breast cancer at cumulative doses of 400 mg/m² or higher is associated with a 10% prevalence of persistent alopecia leading to wig use, but this was completely prevented with scalp cooling.

This paper reviews scalp cooling as an effective method for preventing chemotherapy-induced alopecia, highlighting recent trials that demonstrate its ability to preserve and regrow hair, thus improving patient well-being.

In this study, the combination of scalp cooling therapy and a scalp lotion containing DHL-HisZnNa demonstrated a 91.3% hair recovery rate among breast cancer patients undergoing certain chemotherapy regimens, with no serious adverse events reported.

In this study, scalp hypothermia with the Theracool™ cooling machine was largely ineffective for preventing alopecia in breast cancer patients undergoing a chemotherapeutic regimen including cyclophosphamide and anthracyclines.

This study found that sensor-controlled scalp cooling was effective in preventing hair loss during chemotherapy, particularly in premenopausal patients and those without systemic comorbidities or additional medications.

This paper presents an RGB video microscopic system to monitor optical properties of hair shafts and follicles in vitro, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that zebrafish and stickleback fish use similar genetic programs for tooth regeneration, despite differences in their dental structures.

This article reviews the use of the Nd:YAG laser for hair removal and reports no new research findings.

This review discusses the development and applications of microneedles, particularly through 3D printing, highlighting their potential in transdermal drug delivery but reporting no new results.

This article describes the efficient synthesis of (S)-N-(2-bromo-6-methoxypyridin-4-yl)-2-hydroxy-2,4-dimethylpentanamide, a novel topical antiandrogen, with high purity and enantiomeric excess but reports no pharmacological results.

This review concluded that LED-based photobiomodulation is generally safe and effective for certain dermatologic conditions, though consumer devices often show less efficacy compared to professional systems.

This study found that human hair follicles demonstrated a dose-dependent response to light in an ex vivo photoepilation model, which could predict the clinical efficacy and permanency of light-based hair removal devices.

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 review discusses the factors affecting laser hair removal results and adverse events, emphasizing the need for more research to determine optimal treatment parameters; it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that scalp cooling effectively reduces chemotherapy-induced hair loss, especially with taxane-based regimens, and recent U.S. trials support its safety, despite logistical and insurance challenges.

This study found that long pulsed Nd: YAG laser is a safe and effective method for hair reduction in individuals with skin types IV and V, with significant improvements observed over six sessions.

This study found that the long-pulsed ruby laser effectively delays hair growth and has the potential for permanent hair removal with minimal pain and side effects, offering an advantage over traditional hair removal methods.

Environmental factors like temperature and nutrition affect hair growth, with humans showing seasonal hair growth differences.

Chemotherapy can cause skin side effects that affect patients' lives, but they can be managed to avoid interrupting cancer treatment.

This proposal reviews current knowledge and suggests actions for managing chemotherapy‐induced alopecia but reports no new clinical results, highlighting the need for evidence‐based guidelines.

This article explores the potential of combining biomarkers to assess and improve treatments for chemotherapy-induced alopecia, highlighting the limited availability of data on hair follicle damage markers with and without scalp cooling.
