In this study, chitosan nanoparticles loaded with phenobarbital were the most effective in promoting hair regrowth and quality in a mouse model of chemotherapy-induced alopecia, suggesting potential for preventing hair loss in cancer patients.

This review study focused on various in vitro methods to evaluate skin permeation and retention of sunscreens, highlighting the importance of assessing sunscreen penetration due to widespread nanomaterial usage and advancements in cosmetic formulation.

This review discusses the potential health benefits of L-Cysteine, noting increased research interest but highlighting a lack of clinical trial data for consensus on its effectiveness.

This study systematically reviews the development and applications of drug-loaded nanofiber scaffolds in wound healing, highlighting challenges such as maintaining drug activity and achieving controlled release, while summarizing preparation methods and describing advanced drug delivery schemes.

In this study, researchers investigated genetic variants in pharmacogenes affecting tadalafil and finasteride pharmacokinetics, finding fed volunteers had higher drug exposure than fasting individuals, but genetic variation did not significantly impact pharmacokinetics after correcting for multiple comparisons.

This review highlights the potential of microalgae as sustainable sources for nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals, emphasizing their applications in functional foods, dietary supplements, and cosmetics for roles such as anti-aging and photoprotection in alignment with sustainability principles.

This study reported that compound 16 (olean-12-en-3beta-ol, cinnamate) from Merremia peltata showed potential as an androgen receptor antagonist, suggesting it may benefit alopecia treatment based on molecular docking and ADME-Tox predictions.

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.

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.

This study found that N,N-dimethylglycine sodium salt promoted proliferation and migration of cultured human epidermal keratinocytes and had anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in vitro.

This study found that peroxide-rich plasma-activated water caused minimal morphological damage to hair, while nitrate-rich plasma-activated water induced significant damage, especially in porous hair types.

This study evaluated a hair mask containing rice germ oil GX-N and ferulic acid on damaged hair and found that rice germ oil GX-N improved hair characteristics after bleaching, UV, and heat exposure, but adding ferulic acid did not provide extra benefits.

This study found that Na CMC hydrogel loaded with PEG-coated silver nanoparticles demonstrated superior antibacterial and wound-healing efficacy compared to commercial silver sulfadiazine cream in a wound-healing model.

This review summarizes the enhanced absorption and bioavailability of phytosome delivery systems, which combine herbal extracts with phospholipids to improve therapeutic potential, and provides an updated overview of their development, commercial availability, and patented technologies.

This study evaluated the protective effects of a hair conditioner containing rice derivatives on natural Caucasian hair using various analysis methods and found that the conditioner, especially with rice germ oil GX-N, effectively improved hair properties even under stress conditions like irradiation.

This study found that hair follicles are a significant and efficient pathway for the absorption of topical minoxidil foam in humans, with faster blood detection when follicles are open.

This study analyzed watercress oil and confirmed its phytochemical profile, UV absorption properties, and potential efficacy for hair growth, supporting traditional hot oil applications.

This study found that ZnO nanoparticles in topical skin products do not penetrate beyond the outer skin layers in humans, suggesting minimal safety concerns for subdermal absorption.

This study found that topical fluridil increased the anagen hair percentage in men with androgenetic alopecia without causing irritation or systemic absorption over 9 months.

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 study developed lipid-core nanocapsules for encapsulating menthol, improving its solubility and thermal stability, and demonstrated their safety and rapid skin absorption in ex vivo tests, highlighting potential applications for cosmeceuticals.

This review discusses the use of topical and oral minoxidil for pediatric hair disorders, pointing out the lack of guidelines and the potential risks associated with systemic absorption, but reports no clinical results.

This study found that low-frequency sonophoresis significantly decreased the skin penetration of sodium fluorescein-loaded PEGylated liposomes with D-limonene and affected percutaneous absorption by partially plugging hair follicle orifices.

In this study, using a novel topical androgen receptor suppressor, fluridil, significantly increased the percentage of growing hairs in males with androgenetic alopecia without systemic absorption or adverse side effects.

This study focused on developing a nanoemulsion-based gel for delivering minoxidil, aiming to enhance its contact time with the scalp and potentially improve skin absorption compared to conventional topical solutions.

This study demonstrated that using a mass spectrometry imaging technique, researchers were able to visualize the incorporation of argan, avocado, and coconut oils into hair fibers, suggesting their potential in cosmetic and alopecia treatments by confirming oil absorption and fiber modification.

This study found that rubbing significantly increased skin permeation of caffeine but not rhododendrol, with the direction of rubbing playing a crucial role in caffeine's enhancement.
