This study developed a method to measure local steroid hormone concentrations in hair, providing new insights into hormone dynamics associated with androgenetic alopecia.

This study developed a validated HPLC method for accurately estimating dutasteride and its related compounds in capsules, suitable for routine and stability sample analysis.

This study developed and validated a simple and cost-effective spectrophotometric method to accurately determine Aminexil in cosmetic formulations containing niacinamide and pyridoxine.

This study found that among natural hair loss treatments, formulations with Cantharidin in the saponifiable fraction showed superior efficacy compared to those with Pilocarpine.

In this research, topical gels using natural mucilages from okra and hibiscus were successfully formulated to deliver diclofenac diethylamine, with hibiscus mucilage at 10% showing the best performance as a gelling agent based on various physicochemical tests.

This study found that nanostructured lipid carriers enhanced the skin penetration and retention of minoxidil compared to solid lipid nanoparticles, suggesting they could be a promising method for topical delivery.

In this study, the synthesis of C-4 and C-6 bridged haptens of 11 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone revealed an unexpected formation of a C-4 substituted product using a 6-bromo derivative, contrary to prior reports.

This study found that the optimal method to introduce Saw Palmetto extract into emulsion bases for androgenic alopecia treatment involves mixing it with 48% ethanol at the end of the formulation process.

This review highlights that bicalutamide, a non-steroidal antiandrogen used in prostate cancer treatment, is mainly effective through its (R)-enantiomer and emphasizes the need to monitor its adverse effects despite its targeted antiandrogenic action.

In this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using a sustainable method from the Lepidium sativum L. plant, and incorporating these nanoparticles into Sunblock Lotion significantly increased its sun protection factor.

This observational study reports a striking correlation between the use of henna hair dye and a specific pattern of hair loss, termed "hennapecia," but calls for experimental research to determine causality.

This research describes a process for producing caffeine nanocrystals, which may enhance skin penetration by accumulating in hair follicles and maintaining stability for two months, paving the way for in vivo testing.

This study found that Transcutol-containing vesicles improved the delivery of minoxidil to deeper skin layers in vitro but did not facilitate its permeation through the skin.

This study found that using drug microplates in transdermal finasteride films enhances aqueous solubility and skin permeation compared to films with pure finasteride.

The study created a test that found hormonal and toxic effects in plant and fungal extracts using prostate cancer cells.

This study developed and validated a simple, cost-effective UV–Visible spectrophotometric method for estimating finasteride in pharmaceuticals, demonstrating good linearity, accuracy, precision, and sensitivity according to ICH guidelines, making it suitable for routine quality control.

This study observed that a topical liposome formulation of a 5‐α‐reductase inhibitor effectively reduced the size of treated sebaceous glands and induced apoptosis in a hamster model, suggesting potential benefits for acne treatment.

This study found that oil from CG17 garden cress seeds had higher amounts of β-carotenoids, tocopherols, and vitamins compared to other genotypes, with varying physiochemical properties across all seeds.

This review discusses the potential of lecithin organogels for improving topical drug delivery and presents no new experimental results; the authors highlight their stability and low skin irritancy as advantages.

This article reviews the role of skin surface lipid in mediating environmental stressors and discusses potential therapeutic interventions, reporting no new experimental findings.

This study suggests that spironolactone-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers could enhance follicular delivery and offer a more localized treatment for androgenic alopecia, potentially reducing systemic side effects.

This study found that PCL-based nanofiber scaffolds enhanced cell proliferation and extracellular matrix deposition, suggesting they show promise as a cell delivery system for improving skin wound healing.

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 study found that Santolina oil was effective in controlling experimental candidiasis in both in vitro and in vivo settings and enhanced the effectiveness of clotrimazole against Candida albicans in vitro.

This article reviews the medicinal properties of Semecarpus anacardium and its biologically active compounds, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study identified novel compounds from Bombax ceiba stem bark, including shamimicin, with potent hypotensive effects, and reported that a specific fraction had adverse effects on heart, liver, and kidneys in mice.

This study reports that a newly developed polyherbal phospholipid complex cream containing Citrus auranticum and Glycyrrhiza glabra extracts improved polyphenol retention in the skin, suggesting potential as an anti-aging cosmeceutical.

This study observed that the ethyl acetate extract of Equisetum debile showed high activity against 5α-reductase and lipid peroxidation with no cytotoxicity on dermal papilla cells.

This study found that polymeric nanoparticles may effectively deliver finasteride topically to hair follicles, potentially improving alopecia treatment with fewer side effects than oral forms.

This study found that minoxidil-loaded niosomes with a Span 60 and cholesterol ratio of 1:2 significantly increased skin retention of minoxidil compared to control gel.
