This paper discusses ethosomal drug delivery systems, highlighting their improved ability to enhance skin penetration and increase therapeutic effectiveness in treatments like acyclovir for herpes labialis and minoxidil for androgenic alopecia compared to standard formulations.

This study found that adipose-derived exosomes may inhibit adipogenesis and lipogenesis in adipose-derived stem cells by activating Hedgehog signaling, suggesting potential applications for improving wound healing in obesity.

This study found that peach kernel oil extracted via supercritical fluid extraction had higher quality and antioxidant properties than oil obtained by other methods, effectively protecting human hair follicle keratinocytes from oxidative damage.

In this study, researchers reported that topical nanostructured lipid carriers containing tea seed or lavender oil significantly enhanced hair regrowth in female Wistar albino rats over 30 days compared to placebo, with increased hair length and follicular density observed.

This study describes the development of a minoxidil gel using the copolymer Sepineo P 600, showing improved spreadability, occlusivity, adhesiveness, and stability compared to minoxidil lotion, without causing skin corrosion, making it a potentially more effective treatment form for alopecia areata.

This review discusses linseed oil's traditional and cosmetic applications, including its use for skin and hair care, and reports no new clinical results; the authors suggest potential for more effective uses in cosmetics.

This study suggests that the outermost hair cuticle surface is rich in 18-methyleicosanic acid (18-MEA), supporting previous findings of its multilayer lipid and protein structure.

This study evaluated a microemulsion-based flushing fluid made with castor oil that effectively removed 84.85% of mud cake formed by drilling fluid, highlighting its Newtonian fluid behavior and high wettability inversion capability.

This study aimed to develop a dermocosmetic exfoliating formulation using babassu fibers for androgenetic alopecia treatment, but found that although the formulation met sensory standards, it was unstable in sunlight and heat, suggesting a need for optimization before commercialization.

This study found that the newly developed transdermal oil body microgel emulsion (OBEME) improved wound healing in mice by enhancing skin permeability, reducing inflammation, and promoting new blood vessel formation and re-epithelialization.

The optimized Cinchonine gel effectively fights acne bacteria and is safe for twice-daily use.

This study found that chemically modifying human hair through esterification or disulfide reduction and alkylation affects the hair's viscoelastic properties, including stability, integrity, and response to moisture.

This article provides guidelines and indices for a three-point cantilever bending test to measure mechanical properties of hair treated with both conventional and naturally-derived styling polymers, reporting no new experimental results.

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

In this study, the wood essential oil of *Juniperus morrisonicola* exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity, notably inhibiting nitric oxide production in stimulated macrophages, and showed cytotoxic effects against liver cancer cells, suggesting its potential for drug development and eco-friendly applications.

This study developed a nanostructured lipid carrier for 17-α-estradiol that showed stable physicochemical properties and improved targeting to hair follicles in alopecia treatment.

This study reported that newly synthesized progesterone derivatives significantly reduced prostate weight in testosterone-treated hamsters, with 5alpha-reductase inhibitory activity dependent on the size of the substituent at C-17.

This study suggests that gel containing OSF3 loaded in niosomes offers high transfollicular penetration for topical anti-androgenic alopecia treatment with minimal systemic effect.
