This study suggests that finasteride-loaded polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan microspheres could be a promising embolic agent for benign prostatic hyperplasia, showing effective occlusion and sustained drug release in preclinical models.

This study suggests that PrEP implants for HIV prevention are potentially acceptable among gay and bisexual men, with positive attitudes toward implant features and minor insertion-related effects.

Incorrect injection of corticosteroids for alopecia areata can cause skin problems.

This research highlights the potential of emulgel as an advanced topical drug delivery system, offering improved efficacy for hydrophobic medications in treating dermatological conditions and a range of ailments with its dual release control mechanism of gel and emulsion.

This study found that a machine-learning-driven strategy helped develop microneedles with high hardness and rapid dissolution, effectively promoting hair regrowth in androgenetic alopecia mice by activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, surpassing minoxidil's effects without biosafety risks.

This study developed a spring-driven microneedle booster that improved early and cumulative delivery of minoxidil, accelerating hair regrowth compared to traditional roller methods in an androgenetic alopecia model.

This study found that using minoxidil 2% as a mesotherapy injection showed more significant improvement in treating androgenetic alopecia in female patients than topical application.

This study found that a proniosomal gel formulation of finasteride increased anagen hair count in male volunteers with androgenic alopecia by 42.85% compared to the control group.

In this review, recent advances in long-acting microneedle-based transdermal drug delivery systems are outlined, highlighting biodegradable polymers like PLA, PLGA, and PCL for sustained release and discussing challenges in clinical translation such as consistency in manufacturing and validating long-term efficacy and safety.

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 injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) enhances hair follicle regeneration in vitro by promoting human dermal papilla cell proliferation, migration, and trichogenic inductivity, with varying effects depending on concentration.

This study found that penetration enhancer-containing vesicles significantly improved minoxidil delivery to the skin compared to traditional liposomes and penetration enhancer-containing ethanolic solutions, with deformability linked to enhanced deposition.

This study found that drug transport through artificial sebum varies depending on the compound, suggesting that sebum-targeted delivery can be optimized by selecting compounds based on their distinct transport profiles in sebum versus skin.

In this study, using a 16G epidural needle for preparing the recipient area in hair implantation minimized grafts popping out and resulted in a natural-looking hairline with satisfactory graft survival.

This study reports that follicular cells isolated from murine skin can regenerate hair follicles after being injected into nude mouse skin, with the regeneration process relying on cell interactions, recipient sites, and cell numbers.

This study found that a novel bioengineered microneedle patch successfully delivered minoxidil to induce hair growth in a mouse model, suggesting a promising approach to improve treatment for androgenetic alopecia.

Researchers demonstrated that a new vaccine platform using antigen-loaded hydrogels enhanced humoral immune responses in mice, producing stronger antigen-specific antibody levels compared to the conventional adjuvant Alum, and offering promising protective capabilities against influenza virus.

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 study confirmed the porcine ear skin model's effectiveness for studying nanoparticle-based drug delivery in human hair follicles, noting particle-dependent uptake and enhancement by massage.

This study suggests that hair loss and reduced arterial blood flow after hyaluronic acid filler injection in the temporal region may result from arterial compression rather than intra-arterial occlusion.

This study found that controlled release of hIGF-1 from TF/hIGF-1 effectively enhanced re-epithelialization and granulation tissue formation in diabetic wounds in animal models compared to controls, suggesting a promising approach for diabetic wound treatment.

In this report, a case of a bullous lesion developed at the injection site in a patient treated with PEG-IFN-α-2a for chronic hepatitis C was described.

This study found that a finasteride topical gel formulation using propylene glycol and Tween® 80 showed significantly enhanced permeation compared to a control formulation without these enhancers.

This study found that iontophoresis significantly enhances the skin penetration of magnesium salt of L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate, especially in hairy mice, compared to passive diffusion.

This study found that injecting drug users attending an oral substitution therapy center often experience skin lesions, which negatively impact their psychosocial health and quality of life.

This study demonstrated that liquid-state vesicles may reduce the absorption of finasteride through the skin while increasing its concentration and retention in the dermis layer in hamster models.

This study found that topical minoxidil solutions showed the highest skin permeation at 3-4% concentrations, with crystallization occurring at a 5% concentration due to vehicle component evaporation.

This review discusses the use of microemulsions for transdermal drug delivery and emphasizes the importance of component selection for enhancing drug permeation and skin tolerance, without reporting new clinical results.

This study found that encapsulating latanoprost in nanotransfersomes increased skin penetration and improved its cell proliferation effect in vitro, suggesting potential for treating hair growth disorders.
