The document concludes that using LC-MS/MS for measuring androgens is more accurate than older methods, but it needs careful validation and standardized references to be most effective.

This study demonstrated that PEGDA hydrogel microwells successfully supported cell survival and proliferation while mimicking hair follicle architecture in vitro, suggesting a potential tool for hair follicle engineering.

This study found that the ablation of Esrp1 and Esrp2 disrupts epithelial tight junctions by affecting Arhgef11 isoform expressions, highlighting a potential mechanistic link between splicing alterations and epithelial barrier defects.

This study found that microencapsulation combined with iontophoresis can significantly enhance the delivery of minoxidil sulphate to hair follicles, suggesting a synergetic approach for topical drug targeting.

This study found that polymeric nanoparticle suspensions can deliver poorly water-soluble drugs to hair follicles in animal models, suggesting a promising method for targeted topical treatments.

This review discusses iontophoresis, low-frequency ultrasound, and microneedles for enhancing topical drug delivery in dermatological treatments and reports no clinical results; it emphasizes their mechanisms and potential uses.

This study investigated the use of dissolving microneedle patches to improve the skin-lightening effects of alpha-arbutin and resveratrol, finding that the patches enhanced intradermal delivery and slightly decreased the melanin index without affecting skin hydration or causing irritation over 24 hours.

This study found that nano-sized lipid particles improved the skin accumulation and retention of dexamethasone compared to a base cream, suggesting potential benefits for inflammatory skin disease treatment.

This study found that cetaceans have adapted their fibroblast growth factors to assist in low bone density, hypoxia tolerance, and the development of rigid flippers, reflecting significant evolutionary changes for aquatic life.

In this study, magnesium was observed to penetrate human skin, with hair follicles significantly aiding this process depending on the concentration and duration of exposure.

This study investigated a new formula called SV-loaded nanospanlastics for topical application to treat androgenic alopecia. It showed similar effectiveness to minoxidil lotion but with fewer adverse effects when used to enhance dermal delivery and efficacy of sodium valproate.

This study found that nano-sized minoxidil formulations significantly increased skin penetration and follicular drug delivery for alopecia areata treatment, compared to conventional ethanol-based solutions, and demonstrated effective controlled release over six hours.

This research investigated aqueous alginate-based hydrogels for delivering minoxidil and reported that using hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) with molar substitution 0.65 significantly enhanced minoxidil's solubility and skin permeability without damaging the epidermis, suggesting potential as an alternative to commercial minoxidil solutions.

This study found that adapalene-loaded nanospheres in a hyaluronic acid gel enhanced skin penetration and were nonirritant, making them potentially suitable for treating acne on oily skin.

This review discusses the challenges in measuring testosterone for assessing androgen excess in women and emphasizes the importance of quality control in laboratory methods, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that formulation factors like pH, viscosity, and chemical enhancers can significantly influence intrafollicular hydrocortisone permeation in vitro, with higher pH and enhancers reducing follicular contribution.

This study found that a phytosomal delivery system improved the bioavailability of Cuscuta reflexa extract compared to the plain extract, suggesting enhanced potential for this formulation.

This study investigated a liposomal hydrogel system for delivering minoxidil and tretinoin to treat androgenic alopecia, finding that the system enhanced skin permeation of minoxidil while retaining tretinoin on the skin and was non-irritating in animal tests, suggesting its potential effectiveness.

This study found that N-acetyl-glucosamine-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers showed promise for skin lightening in healthy volunteers by reducing melanin distribution.

This study found that Centipeda minima extract promotes hair growth by activating Wnt/β-catenin, ERK, and JNK signaling pathways in human hair follicle dermal papilla cells.

This study examined the pharmacokinetics of finasteride in pigs and found that ketoconazole coadministration affected its distribution across various plasma compartments, bile, and urine.

Gene therapy shows promise for enhancing physical traits but faces ethical, safety, and regulatory challenges.

This study found that hair absorbs significant amounts of NaBr from solution, with absorption increasing linearly with solution concentration and additional effects noted with acidic or basic solutions.

This study reports that the tetrapeptide AcSDKP significantly promotes skin and hair health in vitro and ex vivo, suggesting it could be used cosmetically to counteract skin aging and hair loss.

This study synthesized silver nanoparticles using an Artocarpus heterophyllus leaf extract and found that these nanoparticles, with a size of 100–110 nm, displayed effective antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal activities in vitro.

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 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate is the optimal ionic liquid solvent for extracting quercetin from Nothopanax scutellarium leaves.

This study found that white hair fibers have lower lipid content and different water absorption dynamics compared to brown hair fibers, suggesting differences in their barrier functions.

This study found that elastic liposomes enhanced skin delivery of genistein in haired skin compared to conventional liposomes, but showed decreased effectiveness in hairless skin.
