This study found that rubbing increased caffeine permeation into skin primarily via hair follicles, especially when applied against the natural hair direction.

The researchers developed semi-dissolving microneedle patches using TEMPO-oxidized bacterial cellulose nanofibers, which allow effective transdermal drug delivery by forming micro-channels for large drug quantities, overcoming traditional microneedles' low drug loading.

This review examines the role of red cell distribution width and its association with iron metabolism and other factors in diagnosing and monitoring various anemic and non-anemic conditions, reporting no new clinical findings.

This study found that finasteride delivered through dissolving microneedles enhanced skin drug permeation compared to films, suggesting potential for improved androgenetic alopecia treatment with fewer side effects.

This study developed a prototype device that suggests potential for diagnosing changes in hair quantity, diameter, and density, though formal clinical studies are needed to confirm these findings.

This study found that using a standardized protocol with microspheres of approximately 1.5 micrometers enhances penetration into hair follicles, particularly when skin is treated with cyanoacrylate skin surface stripping.

In this study, researchers optimized a method for preparing platelet-rich plasma to improve light transmittance aggregometry testing in coronary artery disease patients on clopidogrel and ticagrelor, finding distinct differences in platelet aggregation and volumes among these patients compared to healthy controls.

This study found that rubbing the skin increased caffeine permeation significantly, while rhododendrol showed no enhancement from rubbing, likely due to different distribution patterns in the skin layers.

This study demonstrated that a single multimode fiber can be used for single-shot wide-field reflectance imaging, achieving high correlation with the ground truth and enabling real-time microendoscopy at up to 180 frames per second.

This study found that hair cosmetics have strong bacteriostatic properties, suggesting that current microbial test methods for these products should be revised.

This study introduces the "HoVert" technique, which generates both vertical and horizontal sections from a single biopsy to effectively differentiate lichen planopilaris from discoid lupus erythematosus in alopecia cases.

This review discusses medical therapies for benign prostatic hyperplasia, highlighting the importance of personalizing treatments to individual patient needs and preferences.

This review discusses how nanospanlastics, a type of ultra deformable vesicular nanocarrier, could enhance glaucoma management by improving the delivery and effectiveness of intraocular pressure-lowering agents, tackling adherence challenges, and advancing targeted therapies, according to the authors.

This case report describes a woman with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed non-progressive visual field defects after hypertensive retinopathy, with cotton wool spots indicating retinal nerve fiber microinfarctions.

This review discusses methods to better identify unsafe donor areas in patients with diffuse unpatterned alopecia, emphasizing non-surgical management when specific diagnostic criteria are met, but reports no new clinical results.

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

Method detects finasteride in plasma and semen with high sensitivity and accuracy.

This article describes a new method for staining hair fibers that visualizes keratin filaments without the need for OsO4 fixation or sulfur bond breakage, but it provides no new experimental results beyond the method itself.

This study found that nanoparticles can penetrate the skin, but artifacts produced during specimen preparation complicate accurate observation, and proposed a method for reducing errors in imaging quantum dots as tracers.

In this study, the researchers successfully increased dipicolinic acid production in Bacillus subtilis by genetically modifying the spoVF operon, achieving a significant productivity improvement in the culture medium.

This study found that repeatedly collecting hair follicles from individuals with fragile X syndrome is feasible for measuring FMR1 and FMRP levels in both home and office settings.

This study developed and validated a reliable method to measure finasteride levels in human plasma, which was successfully used to assess its pharmacokinetics after a 5 mg dose in healthy volunteers.

This study found that after application of a testosterone cream containing 17α-methyltestosterone and testosterone propionate, these compounds could be detected in dried blood spots up to 97 hours post-application, potentially leading to sample contamination during fingertip puncture.

Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) is a useful tool for studying how drugs interact with skin and diagnosing skin disorders, despite some limitations.

This study used a novel HPLC-radiomatic flow scintillation system to measure 5α-reductase activity in dermal papillae from miniaturized hair follicles of the human occipital scalp, revealing significant variability in enzyme activity across samples.

New method effectively analyzes finasteride and its stability.

This study developed a new analytical method to identify a wide range of endocrine disrupting compounds in full-term amniotic fluid, revealing diverse substances with potential endocrine activity.

This article discusses the evaluation of minimal residual disease in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia using molecular methods and reports no new findings.

This study demonstrates that MPM-FLIM multimodal imaging can effectively assess the delivery and dissolution of zinc pyrithione particles in human skin follicles using different application techniques.
