This study evaluated new aqueous gel formulations of minoxidil without irritants and found that the calcium alginate gel showed the best performance in terms of drug release and skin permeation.

This review summarizes that polyesters hold promise for vascular tissue engineering due to their mechanical properties and biodegradability, but optimizing their use in repairing damaged blood vessels remains challenging due to the complexity of vascular tissues.

This study found that compounds 21–23 and 25 exhibited strong 5α-reductase II inhibition in vitro and significantly reduced rat prostate weight, performing comparably to finasteride.

This study found that a specific amino-pyridine compound showed potent androgen receptor antagonist activity, stimulating hair growth in mice and reducing sebum production in a hamster model.

This study comprehensively compared different crystalline forms of finasteride, including the new finasteride DMF solvate hemihydrate, to better understand their structural characteristics and intermolecular interactions.

This study reported that a novel chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol nanofiber sponge effectively enhances the hair follicle-inducing ability of dermal papilla multicellular spheroids in a mouse model.

This study found that Flammulina velutipes polysaccharides-derived scaffolds greatly enhanced wound healing and hair follicle regeneration in a rat model, particularly with the FPS/NaOH variant showing the best results.

This study found that certain compounds from Chaga mushrooms stimulated the proliferation of human hair follicle cells more effectively than minoxidil, suggesting potential for hair-growth treatments.

In this study, luteolin-loaded nanoemulsions were shown to promote hair growth similarly to a luteolin solution in organic solvents, offering enhanced stability for follicular delivery.

This study focused on designing a niosome formulation that encapsulates pumpkin seed oil for topical use, achieving high entrapment efficiency and stability over three months.

This study found that the polymorphic forms I, II, and III of finasteride can be prepared purely, with form III being identical to what was previously referred to as form X.

This article describes the synthesis of novel polyamine-modified minoxidil analogs and conjugates to potentially enhance minoxidil's biological activity, selectivity, and water solubility, but reports no new biological results.

In this study, researchers developed and tested a gel containing apocynin-loaded nanoparticles that showed promising results in treating rheumatoid arthritis in rats, suggesting potential for novel topical treatments in inflammatory conditions.

This review explores the potential of edible flowers, particularly the genus Impatiens, for their chemical, nutritional, and bioactive properties but does not report new clinical findings.

This study found that a 400-mg dose of oral testosterone with dutasteride increases serum testosterone levels for 8–10 hours in hypogonadal men, with the nanomilled formulation unaffected by food, suggesting a practical twice-daily therapy option.

This study in a Pakistani family identified a novel ST14 gene variant as the likely genetic cause of autosomal recessive ichthyosis with hypotrichosis syndrome.

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

This review examines the pharmacological potential of quinoline alkaloids from Cinchona bark for developing new drugs and cosmetics but reports no new findings.

This study found that using short durations of heat with chemical penetration enhancers improved isotretinoin delivery to human skin, especially via the hair follicles.

The study reported that reducing finasteride particle size significantly improved its cellular permeation through prostate epithelial cells, though it had a lesser impact on systemic pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution in rats.

Proscar (finasteride) blocks 5α-reductase in sea urchin ovaries and testes, suggesting potential treatment for androgen-related conditions.

This study introduces a tabletop technique demonstrating that endogenous biomagnetic fields from human hair can induce red blood cells agglutination and Rouleaux formations.

This study found that ethanolic and petroleum ether extracts of Cuscuta reflexa, as well as an isolate from these extracts, improved hair growth and follicle characteristics in androgen-induced alopecia in rats.

This study reported that a subcutaneous injection formulation using PLGA microspheres to release finasteride stably achieved sustained monthly drug delivery without burst release in beagle dogs, with a dose of 16.8 mg identified as optimal for potential first-in-human trials.

This study found that nicotine caused damage to cochlear hair cells in vitro, and melatonin might protect against this damage, indicating its potential as a treatment for smoking-induced hearing loss.

This study reports that mutations in human L-PGDS affect the entrance and exit of ligands in its binding cavity, suggesting these residues play a role in ligand interaction processes.

This review explores nano-quercetin formulations to enhance the solubility, stability, and targeted delivery of quercetin, highlighting its potential efficacy in treating cancer, inflammation, metabolic diseases, and tissue regeneration, though challenges in biocompatibility, toxicity, and production remain, per this source.

This review discusses the benefits and applications of microsponges delivery systems in drug delivery, particularly for topical treatments, and reports no new clinical findings.
