This study found that the uptake of molecules by hair is influenced by both hydrophobic and ionic charge interactions, with binding affinity decreasing as pH approaches the solute's dissociation constant.

This study observed that including cationic minoxidil particles in a shampoo facilitated notable hair growth promotion despite a negative surface charge after rinsing, likely due to ionic interactions with the skin.

This study demonstrated that imidazole-based ionic liquids, particularly [Emim]DEP, effectively dissolved yak hair keratin, maintaining its structure better than other tested solvents, and also performed well on human hair and goat wool, with consistent performance even after five recycling cycles.

This study found that the nonionic surfactant Brij 78 stabilized cationic minoxidil microparticles against aggregation, maintaining their substantivity in the presence of excess anionic surfactant.

This study concluded that bleach treatment partly transforms the hydrophobic top layer of human hair cuticles into a hydrophilic surface with clustered cysteic acid, visualized at the nano-scale using dynamic Chemical Force Microscopy.

The study found that a polymer treatment changes the charge on hair surfaces, making bleached hair smoother and less porous.

This study highlights that niosomes, or non-ionic surfactant based vesicles, offer an advantageous drug delivery system due to their stability, cost-effectiveness, and ability to enhance drug bioavailability and targeting efficiency for various therapeutic agents.

In this study, researchers developed a new Supported Ionic Liquid Phase palladium catalyst that showed effectiveness in aminocarbonylation reactions for synthesizing pharmaceutical compounds like CX-546 and a precursor of Finasteride, though results were sensitive to substrate variations and prompted palladium leaching concerns.

This paper argues that both the modern biomedical model and existing supplementary frameworks fail to adequately capture the complexities of empathy and healing within the context of postmodern thinking.

This study found that incorporating CTA2-BADG, a modified hair-rebonding compound, into damaged hair significantly improved surface morphology and tensile strength by using charge-conversion chemistry to enhance penetration into the hair shaft.

This study found that sodium metabisulfite activates sodium channels and increases cellular excitability and excitotoxicity in both cardiomyocyte and neuron models, which exacerbates seizures and neuronal damage in rats.

This study found that transparent shampoo bars containing high concentrations of aloe vera gel, castor oil, and cinnamon oil exhibited antimicrobial activity, reduced hair loss, and caused no skin irritation.

This review explores research on nanoformulations for enhancing the topical delivery of herbal medicines, noting potential benefits like improved bioavailability and sustained delivery, and emphasizes the need for safety and toxicity guidelines in developing these novel drug delivery systems.

Hair fibers interact through classical forces, which are influenced by treatments and products, important for hair care and other applications.

This review highlights the promising potential of microemulsions and nanoemulsions in (trans)dermal drug delivery, noting a gap in understanding their distinct mechanisms and composition-related effects on skin permeability, while emphasizing the limited clarity on mesostructures and cosolvent impacts.

This study found that finasteride- and minoxidil-loaded nanoparticles in a gel improved skin permeability and drug retention, suggesting a promising approach for topical alopecia treatment with reduced dosing frequency and side effects.

This study found that alkali bromide solutions are absorbed into hair depending on salt activity, and the presence of the salt increases water absorption compared to normal conditions.

The researchers reported that a newly developed ionic liquid-based microemulsion significantly improved the local delivery of copper peptides in mice, enhancing hair growth-related factor activation while offering a safer, non-invasive alternative to existing treatments for hair loss.

In this study, nanostructured lipid carriers for hair split-end repair showed similar efficacy regardless of charge, with negatively charged carriers exhibiting better stability over six months compared to positively charged ones.

This review discusses the potential for surface-modified nanostructured lipid carriers to enhance hair regrowth by improving drug absorption and stability, focusing on their use with agents like minoxidil and finasteride for hair loss treatment.

This review presents the practice of using hair bioelement analysis to assess nutritional status or environmental exposure, proposing complex interactions and hypotheses regarding depression and autism but reports no new clinical results.
