This study used an in silico/in vitro approach to identify potential inhibitors of the enzyme SRD5A2, finding that the androgen receptor modulator MK-0773 is a moderate inhibitor, although it does not act as a covalent inhibitor like finasteride.

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.

In this study, oral etretinate resulted in increased hair length and loss of beading in a childhood monilethrix case, while the scalp's keratosis pilaris persisted.

This study observed that the active metabolite minoxidil sulfate promotes vascular relaxation by enhancing potassium permeability, which may inform understanding of minoxidil's antihypertensive and hair growth effects.

This study found that minoxidil sulfate stimulates Cl channels, potentially depolarization-activated and outwardly rectifying, in eccrine clear cells, while minoxidil itself stimulates Ca-insensitive K currents.

In this study, minoxidil sulfate was found to relax norepinephrine-induced contractions in rabbit mesenteric arteries, possibly by acting as a K+ channel agonist, but it did not relax K+-induced contractions.

This study found that Dex-loaded hyaluronic acid hydrogel microneedles significantly reduced pain in an acute inflammatory visceral pain model without sedation, suggesting a promising and patient-friendly alternative to intravenous delivery.

In this study, researchers developed a precise and rapid method for simultaneously analyzing minoxidil and finasteride in local therapeutic formulations, ensuring that the excipients did not interfere, making it suitable for routine quality control.

MK-386 reduces sebum DHT levels.

This study reported that newly developed minoxidil Pickering emulsion gels, designed using cellulose stabilizers, showed promising results for promoting hair regrowth and targeting hair follicles by enhancing the delivery and stabilization properties of the formulation in a hair loss treatment context.

Dermoscopy quickly and accurately diagnosed a rare hair disorder in a 12-year-old girl.

This study investigated the integration of crystal engineering and microneedle technology for androgenetic alopecia treatment, finding that microneedles loaded with newly developed Kopexil multicomponent crystals reduced drug diffusion rates in vitro compared to standard formulations.

New method measures minoxidil concentration faster, more accurately, and automatically.

In this mouse study, researchers found that nanoparticles loaded with umbilical cord-derived stem cell membranes and minoxidil enhanced hair growth by improving drug solubility and transdermal delivery, increasing VEGF, IGF-1, MKI67, and CTNNB protein levels in skin tissue compared to regular minoxidil.

This study found that the p.E402K mutation in the KRT86 gene is a hotspot in Chinese patients with monilethrix, and treatment with 5% topical minoxidil significantly improved hair density and quality.

In this study, researchers explored whether minoxidil, a common treatment for androgenetic alopecia, may have estrogenic activity and found preliminary evidence suggesting it could act as a partial agonist of Estrogen Receptor α (ERα).

In animal studies, this research found that minoxidil-loaded air-pocket microneedles improved hair loss treatment efficiency compared to topical application, while effectively sealing punctured skin openings.

This article discusses the use of Espumil foam base in pharmacies for preparing dermatological medications and reports no new clinical results.

This report discusses a case of reticular erythematous mucinosis syndrome, highlighting minimal mucin deposition and significant lymphocytic infiltration around the hair follicle, contributing to the ongoing debate about its nature as a mucinosis.

This study demonstrated that in a mouse melanoma wound model, the MQ Microneedles effectively managed ROS levels to inhibit tumor growth and promote wound healing through light-controlled release.

This report describes four cases of monilethrix in children and concludes that periodic inhibition of keratin synthesis, not a metabolic defect, may explain the hair abnormality.

In this study, a potentiometric titration method was developed for determining minoxidil, achieving recoveries of 97.4% to 98.7%, and it showed agreement with a chromatographic procedure at a 90% confidence level.

This study found that minoxidil prevents long-term serotonergic toxicity induced by MDMA in rats, primarily by opening mitochondrial KATP channels and involving Akt and MAP kinases in its neuroprotective mechanism.

In this study, researchers developed an electrochemical method using gold nanostructures on a glassy carbon electrode to detect minoxidil levels in hair lotions, and found it effectively quantified minoxidil in commercial products, revealing discrepancies in their labeled versus actual concentrations.

This study describes an analytical technique combining field-enhanced sample stacking with dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction, offering improved sensitivity for detecting finasteride and its metabolite in urine samples from patients treated for androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that minoxidil nanoparticles significantly increased hair growth in mice compared to commercial minoxidil and rosemary extract, demonstrating improved delivery and follicular uptake.

This report describes a 7-year-old girl with monilethrix who showed significant improvement while on acitretin treatment, but symptoms returned after stopping the medication.
