PDE inhibitors, especially PDE4 inhibitors like apremilast, are effective for certain inflammatory skin conditions but have side effects and can be costly.

This study developed effervescent cleansing tablets containing asiatic-acid-loaded solid lipid microparticles, finding that they provided effective cleansing compared to water and showed good flow properties, pH, and hardness but were unstable at high temperature and humidity.

This study examined different polymersome systems for topical finasteride delivery and found that chitosan-decorated C7 polymersomes may enhance skin retention and provide controlled drug release compared to non-decorated systems in laboratory settings.

The document describes a method for preparing hair for microscopy by embedding it in plastic, cutting it, and storing it cold before imaging.

The hydrogel dressing effectively treats infected wounds by combining infection control and tissue regeneration.

In this study, a multifunctional aloin-arginine-alginate bio-patch was developed, which transforms into a hydrogel to accelerate wound healing and offers antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits, making it promising for use in cutaneous regeneration.

This study found that encapsulating ascorbyl palmitate in curcumin-grafted nanoparticles increased its stability compared to unencapsulated forms, with primary skin penetration occurring through hair follicles in pig skin.

This study found that 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane penetrates hair fibers and improves the mechanical resistance of dry hair, addressing the needs for increased body in fine hair.

In this review, cellulose-based nanofibers are highlighted for their potential in wound care, given their biodegradability, biocompatibility, and ability to enhance antimicrobial properties and drug delivery in wound dressings through modern fabrication techniques like electrospinning.

Human hair keratin hydrogels show promise for use in regenerative medicine.

In this study, researchers developed a biopolymer-based dual-layer wound dressing that significantly improved healing outcomes in a 14-day rat model, reporting 94% wound closure by day 15 and enhanced tissue regeneration, swelling properties, and cell viability.

In this study, researchers developed isotretinoin-loaded Delonix polymeric nanoparticles that target hair follicles and found they effectively sustained drug release, reduced IL-6 production in vitro without inhibiting P. acnes, and may prevent isotretinoin-related skin irritation in vivo in Wistar rats.

In this study, researchers reviewed the progress and challenges in using hydrogels for 3D printing in biomedical applications, highlighting advancements in structural complexity, and identifying ongoing issues like resolution improvement, cell viability, and ethical concerns for clinical use.

This study identified N-acyl arylsulfonamides, particularly N-(Boc-piperidine-4-carbonyl)-benzenesulfonamides, as steroid sulfatase inhibitors with improved cellular potency compared to previous compounds.

This study used molecular dynamics simulations to illustrate the complex molecular behavior of the hair surface F-layer, highlighting how fatty acids interact with 18-MEA under different conditions.

This study found that while short-term use of PEG-400 and Thiazone affected rat skin structure, the changes were reversible with no long-term effects observed.

This study found that electrophoretic keratin typing of head hair can identify specific polypeptide patterns, suggesting potential applications in genetic and forensic investigations.
