This study estimated the starting dose range for a finasteride long-acting injectable formulation in humans, suggesting that 16.80 mg may be the optimal starting dose.

This study reported that Neelibhringadi Kera Tailam, a traditional Ayurvedic herbal oil, contains bioactive compounds that may support hair health by stimulating growth, providing antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects, and preventing hair loss, as evidenced by its physicochemical, phytochemical, and GC-MS analyses.

This study found that topical minoxidil solutions showed the highest skin permeation at 3-4% concentrations, with crystallization occurring at a 5% concentration due to vehicle component evaporation.

This review explores the use of topical and transdermal delivery for drugs and cosmetics, highlighting the benefits of avoiding side effects and rapid metabolism, with a focus on nanoparticulate formulations and techniques for studying skin penetration.

This study found that smaller curcumin nanocrystals (60 nm) enhanced transdermal and transfollicular penetration more effectively than larger sizes, influenced by particle size.

In this study, the researchers reported that while both propylene glycol and sodium lauryl sulfate enhanced finasteride's skin deposition, ethanol was the only effective enhancer of finasteride's permeation through the skin.

This review highlighted recent advances in nanocarrier-based topical delivery systems for skincare, emphasizing their potential to enhance ingredient stability, penetration, and targeted release while addressing specific pathophysiological skin concerns.

In this study, the novel fatty acid-conjugated tetrapeptide Palmitoyl-GDPH enhanced wound healing in rats by improving re-epithelialization and collagen deposition with minimal toxicity observed at the used dosage.

In a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia, this study found that a novel hydrogel containing minoxidil-incorporated engineered exosomes (Gel@MNs) enhanced hair regeneration more effectively than conventional minoxidil, increasing hair follicle number and size while reducing skin irritation.

In this study, researchers developed a new topical atraric acid formulation, AA-TF#15, which showed a significantly higher drug penetration and increased hair regrowth in mice compared to minoxidil and finasteride treatments, suggesting its potential effectiveness for treating scalp androgenic alopecia.
