This paper reviews extraction methods for obtaining polysaccharides from brown macroalgae like Sargassum, highlighting their antiviral, antimicrobial, and antitumoral bioactivities in both in vivo and in vitro studies, while also discussing challenges in research and commercialization of Sargassum-based products.

The study found that the Marangoni effect causes the uneven wetting of surfactant-coated hair due to the surfactant moving into the water.

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 daily use of an emollient PLUS containing ADE-G1 significantly reduced xerosis severity and improved quality of life in cancer patients, regardless of their initial xerosis severity or cancer treatment.

This study found that S-Methylmethionine sulfonium (SMMS) enhances cell survival and reduces damage from UVB irradiation in skin cells, suggesting its potential as a cosmetic ingredient for UV protection.

This study found that finasteride-loaded microemulsions using poloxamer 124 significantly enhanced skin penetration of the drug compared to a standard solution, primarily through targeting hair follicles via the transfollicular pathway, with intercluster, intercellular, and transcellular pathways contributing less.

This study observed that repeated perm treatments decrease disulfide bonds in hair due to their conversion largely into cysteic acid, affecting the waving efficiency depending on the reduction agent used.

In this study, the stability properties of various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) were characterized, revealing how factors like pressure and water sensitivity influence their intrinsic stability and potential degradation.

In this study, chitosan membranes enhanced melanocyte proliferation and survival by supporting both cell-cell and cell-substrate interactions, unlike polyvinyl alcohol membranes which only facilitated cell-cell interactions.

This study found that upcycled postbiotic cell-free supernatants from Limosilactobacillus fermentum MG901 and MG4237 protected human dermal papilla cells from oxidative stress, enhancing wound-healing capacity and mitochondrial function, suggesting potential as a sustainable cosmetic ingredient for hair loss alleviation.

This study found that Carthamus tinctorius floret extract, at a concentration of 0.05 mg/mL, significantly inhibited 5α-reductase activity in DU-145 cells more effectively than standard treatments finasteride and dutasteride, with a stable microemulsion formulation enhancing its skin permeation and stability.

This review discusses various applications of foam systems in drug form technology, highlighting their potential to enhance drug solubility and release modifications, but reports no new clinical results.
