This study reports that fluconazole emulgel formulations, using jojoba oil and liquid paraffin, showed effective drug release and improved characteristics for treating skin diseases compared to traditional oral formulations.

This study successfully established and validated a method using LC-MS/MS to measure multiple androgens in plasma, finding that individuals with acne had higher levels of certain androgens compared to those with obesity.

This study reported that polyamine levels, especially N-acetyl polyamines, were higher in the vertex region of the scalp than in the occipital region in patients with male and female pattern hair loss.

In this study, the authors found that applying hypobaric pressure to the skin significantly increases the transdermal permeation of large molecules by enhancing diffusion, despite the associated skin stretching and hair follicle enlargement not fully explaining this effect.

This study found that a herbal shampoo and solution were more effective than placebo in reducing hair loss and improving hair growth in participants with androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium.

This study developed methods for detecting carboxy-finasteride in urine for doping control, demonstrating detection up to 49 hours post-administration with high precision and accuracy.

This study examines various methodological factors affecting hair cortisol concentration analysis, finding inconsistent results on the impact of factors like resuspension solution, hair weight, extraction duration, and hair-cutting method.

This study found that cortisol levels, a biomarker of chronic stress, significantly increased in the post-COVID-19 lockdown period compared to pre-lockdown and during-lockdown periods, especially among females and young adults, reflecting sustained psychological stress from the pandemic.

This study found that the polyherbal gel formulations F4 and F6 demonstrated superior in vitro performance in hair care, showing promise as cosmeceutical candidates, although further in vivo and clinical studies are necessary to confirm their efficacy and safety.

This phase II study found that a 0.05% topical dutasteride solution was more effective than oral finasteride (1 mg/day) in increasing hair count and width in males with androgenetic alopecia over 24 weeks, without causing irritation.

This study developed a method to measure local steroid hormone concentrations in hair, providing new insights into hormone dynamics associated with androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that combining lecithin reverse wormlike micelles with isopropyl myristate enhanced the skin permeability of a model hydrophilic drug, facilitated by interactions with sebum in hair follicles.

This study concluded that the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method developed is viable for accurately quantifying spironolactone and its metabolite canrenone in plasma despite interference from plasma components.

In this study, L-cysteine treated with the Trivedi Effect® showed significantly increased isotopic abundance ratios, which may enhance its stability and shelf-life.

This study found that using gallate-containing formulations like EGCG or tannic acid increased the solubility and controlled release of finasteride in microspheres, enhancing its dermal penetration in pig skin by 10 to 50 times compared to a control.

This study found that polymeric nanoparticles may effectively deliver finasteride topically to hair follicles, potentially improving alopecia treatment with fewer side effects than oral forms.

This study found that ion-paired solutions significantly improved the skin penetration of risedronate in hairless mice compared to risedronate alone.

This review explores factors affecting graft growth and survival in hair restoration, emphasizing the importance of fundamental care practices while considering advanced storage solutions and additives, but reports no new findings.

This study developed a high performance capillary electrophoresis method, validated for both legal and illicit minoxidil-based products, to confirm minoxidil's presence alongside known impurities.

This study found that topical finasteride significantly increased hair count in men with androgenetic alopecia compared to placebo while maintaining similar efficacy to oral finasteride but with lower systemic exposure and a reduced impact on serum DHT levels, potentially minimizing sexual side effects.

This study demonstrates that using transwell culture significantly influences hair follicle formation in skin models, potentially improving dermatology and skin research methodologies.

This study developed and validated a sensitive method using adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry to directly determine minoxidil in topical solutions, shampoos, and creams, achieving high recovery rates and precision.

This study developed a new proteomic method to identify and assess ancient hair proteins using only small amounts of sample, providing insights into hair protein alteration processes over time.

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 review, the researchers explored the formulation and evaluation of a pure herbal shampoo using plant extracts, aiming to compare its physicochemical properties with synthetic and other herbal shampoos, and concluded that consumer expectation shifts towards safety and efficacy could enhance herbal shampoo popularity.

This study reports that two novel chromatographic methods demonstrated high sensitivity and selectivity for determining aminexil, niacinamide, and pyridoxine HCl in a laboratory-prepared mixture and hair tonic preparation.

This study reports a method for fabricating biofunctional polymer fibers by using DNA-programmable cell-free protein synthesis integrated through solution blow spinning, enabling in situ protein production and potential applications in respirators, sampling swabs, and other advanced materials.

In this study, yeast fermentation of Platycladus orientalis leaves was shown to enhance hair growth-promoting properties by affecting cell cycle phases in human dermal papilla cells, increasing growth factor VEGF, reducing inflammatory factor TGF-β1, and altering the expression of Wnt/β-catenin pathway-related genes.

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III trial found that a 24-week treatment with topical finasteride significantly increased hair growth and was well-tolerated in Chinese men with androgenetic alopecia compared to placebo.

This study found that a novel choline-based valproic acid ionic liquid significantly enhances transdermal penetration and promotes hair regrowth without causing irritation or toxicity, offering a promising treatment option for alopecia.
