This review investigates how the chirality of peptides affects their ability to form hydrogels, comparing the structural and mechanical properties of hydrogels made from homochiral and heterochiral peptides, and discussing their potential biological applications.

Animal experiments in this study demonstrated that a new sandwich-like fiber/sponge dressing design, which enhances wound healing through improved moisture management and faster exudate evaporation, resulted in more significant wound size reduction compared to commercial and control dressings.

In this study, the researchers developed a cellulose-based hydrogel that provides sustained drug release with improved bioavailability and stability over time.

This study found that chemically modifying human hair through esterification or disulfide reduction and alkylation affects the hair's viscoelastic properties, including stability, integrity, and response to moisture.

This study found that varying the concentration of propylene glycol in rice water shampoo gel affects physical properties such as viscosity and foam height, without impacting organoleptic qualities or pH stability.

This study found that hair follicle-specific keratins can form different structural assemblies depending on ionic conditions, with hair cortex keratins requiring physiological salt conditions to form intermediate filaments.

This study found that electrospun poly(ε-caprolactone)/poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) blend fibers demonstrated nanometric dimensions and promising properties for drug delivery, with curcumin release linked to fiber morphology and processing parameters.

In this study, shampoos containing sodium lauroyl methylaminopropionate showed superior coacervate formation and lubrication on wet hair, outperforming other amino acid surfactants and suggesting potential for creating low-irritation, high-performance hair products.

This study found that the desolvation of finasteride hydrate solvates is highly dependent on the physical environment, complicating investigations but providing insight through complementary analysis techniques.

This study found that the nonionic surfactant Brij 78 stabilized cationic minoxidil microparticles against aggregation, maintaining their substantivity in the presence of excess anionic surfactant.

This study designed a micromold template for creating controlled-sized, multicellular tumor spheroids, finding that HEK-293 cells formed consistent spheroids with high circularity and viability after 7 days, influenced by cell seeding density and treatment conditions.

This study found that Equisetum arvense, or horsetail, water extracts prepared with polyethylene glycol in an ultrasonic bath yielded the highest levels of phenolic compounds, such as hydroxycinnamic acids and flavonoids, indicating that this method improves the release of biologically active substances.

This article highlights the versatility and potential of alginate and its derivatives in tissue engineering applications, discussing their properties, modification techniques, and various uses in enhancing tissue healing, bone regeneration, and cell growth.

This review analyzed how the chirality of peptide building blocks affects their self-assembly into hydrogels, comparing structural and mechanical properties of homochiral and heterochiral peptides, and discussed potential biological applications of these peptide systems.

This study reported that a new polymeric formulation for topical minoxidil delivery in an animal model improved hair growth and hair follicle formation more effectively than minoxidil in PBS, suggesting potential as a future hair loss treatment.

In this experimental laboratory study, three cream formulations containing 1% Caffeine Herbasome® were developed and evaluated for stability, homogeneity, pH, dispersion, and adhesion, with results showing satisfactory stability and suitable adhesion properties for skin application.

This study found that a newly constructed composite hydrogel dressing, made from silk fibroin, chitosan, and halloysite, promoted hair follicle neogenesis, angiogenesis tissue regeneration, and scar reduction.

This systematic review found that while green solvent- and natural excipient-based semisolid formulations often show promising efficacy and safety compared to conventional options, the evidence does not currently establish superior stability, highlighting a need for further research on long-term formulation quality.

Larger positively charged gelatin nanoparticles are more effective for delivering treatments to hair follicles.

This study found that cationic surfactant-based conditioning systems significantly reduce friction on hair fibers, improving wet and dry combability by forming a stable film layer on the hair’s surface, as verified by both instrumental and sensory evaluations.

This study determined that the optimal formulation for caffeine-based hydrogels involves 0.2% caffeine and 2.3% chitosan, based on gel liberation and stability testing.

This study found that increasing the pH from 2.0 to 6.0 enhanced the binding of cationic solutes to hair keratin, driven primarily by hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions.

This study found that waving virgin human hair with thioglycerol at pH 9.0 using ammonia solution caused less damage than using thioglycolic acid, while maintaining good waving efficiency.

Polisorbate 20 is not suitable for curl creams due to instability.

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.

In this study, Tithonia diversifolia extract was found to improve certain digestive parameters in crossbred sheep but did not enhance growth performance, as the improvements in digestion did not translate into increased body weight or feed conversion.

This study evaluated hair tonic and gel formulations containing Angiopteris evecta root water extract and found both fulfilled pharmaceutical preparation standards, with the 12.5% hair tonic and 10.0% gel concentrations most effective for hair growth without a significant difference in performance.

This study investigated the physicochemical properties of polystyrene-b-poly(acrylic acid) nanovesicles coated with modified chitosans, finding that they can effectively control surface charge and potentially serve as drug delivery carriers with a 50.7% encapsulation efficiency for minoxidil.

This study formulated two herbal shampoos using natural extracts and reported that their physicochemical properties were comparable to commercial shampoos.
