This review evaluates 21 studies on minoxidil-induced allergic contact dermatitis, finding that some patients with contact dermatitis symptoms like erythema and pruritus are sensitized to minoxidil or its vehicle components and should consider patch testing and alternative formulations for proper management.

This study found that minoxidil forms a reservoir in the skin, allowing sustained drug delivery even after cleansing, while propylene glycol does not.

In this study, adding TPGS to a minoxidil formulation improved local retention and reduced systemic absorption in certain solvent mixes, particularly with a balance of alcohol and PEG 400.

This study developed and validated a label-free assay using LC-MS to screen for S5αR inhibitors, identifying Thai herbal extracts, Impatiens balsamina L. and Curcuma longa L., as promising sources.

This study suggests that finasteride-loaded liquid crystalline nanoparticles could be a viable alternative to oral administration for treating androgenetic alopecia due to their controlled release and skin permeation properties.

This review discusses advancements in artificial skin for wound treatment and reports no new clinical findings; the authors highlight the potential of new biomaterials to enhance future skin replacement therapies.

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 article reviews innovations in hair cosmetics, focusing on esthetic procedures and products in the Indian market, and reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that minoxidil exhibits preferential solvation by water in both water-rich and ethanol-rich solvent mixtures.

This study found that formulating raloxifene in nano-lipid carriers significantly enhanced its permeation and cytotoxicity against cancer cells compared to raw raloxifene.

This study's molecular dynamics simulations suggest that electrostatic interactions mainly stabilize peptide binding to human hair keratin, with the protein's dielectric constant significantly affecting free energy calculations.

This study concluded that a 5% concentration of celery extract in hair gel provided the best preparation characteristics, including standard parameters for organoleptic properties and spreadability.

In this survey, dermatologists in India reported preferring alcohol-free minoxidil combined with procapil and finasteride over traditional alcohol-based formulations for managing androgenetic alopecia, citing better tolerance and patient adherence.

This review discusses the positioning of low alcohol or alcohol-free topical minoxidil for managing androgenetic alopecia in Indian clinical practice and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that cholesterol- and phospholipid-free multilamellar niosomes improved skin deposition and targeted deeper hair follicles better than hydrophobic PLGA nanoparticles for transdermal drug delivery.

In this study, alcohol-free minoxidil 5% demonstrated effectiveness in improving hair growth parameters and demonstrated a good safety profile and high patient acceptance among Indian men with androgenetic alopecia over 180 days, without any reported adverse events.

This review summarizes the promising role of melatonin combined with nanosized carriers in drug delivery, suggesting enhanced effectiveness in treating various diseases compared to free melatonin.

This study concluded that shampoos sold in pharmacies generally contain fewer regulated allergens under EU law compared to those sold in mass-market stores or by mail order, and pharmacy-sold baby shampoos were allergen-free.

In this study, researchers reviewed literature on topical delivery of finasteride for androgenetic alopecia, finding that liposomal gels with specific additives showed the highest skin permeation rates, suggesting potential for reducing systemic side effects compared to oral formulations.

This study found that a natural illite-based carrier could deliver minoxidil topically with preserved efficacy, minimizing solvent toxicity, and showed hair-growth-promoting activity via anti-inflammatory and pro-proliferative mechanisms in mice.

This study developed a bifunctional sodium hyaluronate microneedle patch incorporating glycyrrhizin-loaded dutasteride micelles and mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles, which effectively inhibited DHT and reduced ROS in hair follicle cells, resulting in significantly accelerated hair growth in vitro and in vivo.

This study found that liposomal formulations improved minoxidil delivery to skin layers compared to niosomes and a control solution, suggesting enhanced potential for topical hair loss treatment.

This article reviews the development and formulation of shampoos, emphasizing their dual role as cosmetic and medicinal products, but presents no new experimental findings.

This study found that Transcutol P significantly enhanced the skin penetration of Finasteride in vitro, while cationic and anionic surfactants did not show such effects.

This study found that nanostructured lipid carriers with more soybean phosphatidylcholine provided better skin retention and follicular targeting for diphencyprone compared to other formulations and controls.

In this study, the researchers reported that chloramphenicol-loaded liposomes, particularly those incorporating deoxycholic acid, enhanced follicular uptake and showed strong antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, offering potential for treating MRSA-infected skin conditions with good skin biocompatibility and minimal toxicity.

This study found that a lacticin 3147 solid lipid nanoparticle gel demonstrated potent and sustained antimicrobial activity against S. aureus, including MRSA, in ex vivo S. aureus-infected pig skin.

This study found that applying topical thymidine dinucleotide (pTT) to newborn mice before UV exposure delayed and reduced melanoma development compared to untreated controls.

This study developed plant-pigment-based shampoos using extracts from Neem, Fenugreek, Hibiscus, and Butterfly Pea, which demonstrated stability, antimicrobial properties, and potential scalp benefits such as hair growth promotion and dandruff reduction, making them a promising alternative to synthetic dyes.

This study reported that a novel liposomal formulation, SP-bFGF-SF-LIP, enhanced bFGF stability and skin permeability, significantly improving hair follicle recovery and wound healing in a mouse model.
