In this study, researchers found that the primary cause of slippage and detachment of keratin capsules in hair extensions is the re-contamination by oily residues from the hairdresser's hands, rather than the use of hair care products like masks or conditioners.

This study operationalizes a four-step workflow for selecting donor hair for capsule extensions, translating surgical trichology insights into an extension-specific protocol to enhance natural hair optics and biomechanics, suitable for premium extension services.

Invasomes effectively deliver drugs through the skin and have potential for improved treatments.

This study reports that microencapsulation of therapeutic cells with contrast agents enables visualization across multiple imaging modalities, potentially improving cellular immunoprotection and tracking after transplantation.

In this study, researchers reported that hardshell capsules using the DiluCap® line of excipients demonstrated varying dissolution profiles under gastrointestinal-simulating conditions, with minoxidil and finasteride showing rapid release and melatonin and naltrexone displaying controlled release, indicating their suitability for different applications in compounding pharmacies.

This study involved formulating an invasome gel loaded with clotrimazole for treating fungal infections and assessed its various properties like spreadability and in vitro drug diffusion.

In this study, researchers developed microcapsules and effervescent tablets containing policosanol from insect wax, achieving high encapsulation efficiency and rapid water dispersion, effectively addressing the challenges of solubility and psychological acceptance in consuming insect-based lipids.

This study found that invasomes enhanced the iontophoretic transdermal delivery of finasteride in rabbits, increasing AUC and T1/2 compared to oral suspension.

This study reported that invasomes, utilizing limonene as a component, enhanced the transdermal permeation of finasteride by over 21 times, indicating their potential as a novel drug delivery system.

This review discusses the use of terpenes and invasomes as permeation enhancers for transdermal drug delivery, focusing on their potential applications in pharmaceutical formulations, but it reports no new experimental results.

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.

In this study, manual cold capping was found to be effective in minimizing chemotherapy-induced alopecia, with 92.1% of patients retaining 50% or more of their hair, although effectiveness varied with different chemotherapy regimens.

This study found that a nano-cubosome formulation co-loaded with capsaicin and thiocolchicoside enhanced bioavailability and showed promising analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects in rats, potentially benefiting gout management through improved transdermal delivery.

This study developed and tested Bicalutamide-loaded lipid vesicles in dissolving microarray patches for topical application, finding that they effectively deliver Bicalutamide through murine skin while maintaining a favorable safety profile, suggesting potential to improve treatments for androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that combining topical capislow with laser hair removal significantly enhanced hair reduction compared to laser alone, although the beneficial effects lasted only while capislow was applied.

This study demonstrated that the IVL-DrugFluidic® platform is effective for mass-producing finasteride-loaded polymeric microspheres for long-acting injectables, maintaining stable drug release without an initial burst for a month.

This study found that the Ayurvedic formulation Trichup Capsule significantly increased hair length and diameter in treated animals without signs of toxicity or mortality.

This study found that using spanlastics, a nano, surfactant-based drug delivery system, improved the bioavailability, drug release characteristics, and pharmacokinetic behavior of famotidine, a poorly soluble drug, by enhancing its dissolution and membrane permeation.

In this study, cetirizine hydrochloride was formulated into niosomal and cubosomal gels, showing potential for off-label use in treating androgenic alopecia due to effective skin permeation and acceptable safety profiles; cubosomal gels exhibited superior permeation compared to niosomal gels.

This research focused on formulating finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil with cyclodextrins to enhance their solubility and skin penetration for topical use, potentially reducing scalp irritation from current alcohol-based preparations.

This study found that calcium microcapsules exhibited better biocompatibility and cell viability than barium microcapsules for scaffolding in artificial dermal papilla, suggesting potential for developing new hair follicle structures.

In this study, a topical hair growth serum containing ingredients like procapil and redensyl was found to be safe and effective for subjects with androgenic alopecia, significantly improving hair density, thickness, and Anagen:Telogen ratio after 120 days, with no observed adverse effects.

This study developed cilostazol-loaded formulations for nose-to-brain delivery, finding that these formulations improved cilostazol's bioavailability by enhancing solubility, absorption, and permeability, achieving nearly 100% drug release in vitro within 2 hours.

This study reported cold thermal injuries on the scalp in four patients using cold caps to prevent chemotherapy-induced alopecia, suggesting improper application can lead to adverse events.

This study found that adding hydroxypropyl cellulose to minoxidil formulations significantly increased scalp retention and penetration compared to other formulations, potentially leading to reduced application frequency and improved efficacy.

This review study found that vesicular carriers like liposomes, niosomes, invasomes, and transferosomes can enhance drug penetration through follicles, benefiting treatments for alopecia, acne, and infections, as well as potentially facilitating systemic delivery of antihypertensive drugs and insulin.

In this study, researchers developed a new solution called CapilGen, showing it increased hair quantity by 35% and density by 25% in clinical trials without side effects, providing a potentially safe and effective treatment for baldness.

In this study, nanocapsule-based preparations containing hinokitiol promoted hair growth in mice comparably to Minoxidil solution, as indicated by photographic and histological analysis.

This study found that the oral supplement INVERSION® Femme significantly reduced weight and hair loss and improved skin and nails in overweight women.

In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, daily use of the Nutrafol® Women's Capsules nutraceutical significantly increased the number of terminal and vellus hairs and improved hair quality in women with self-perceived thinning over six months, without any reported adverse events.
