February 2018 in “Bio-medical Materials and Engineering” This study demonstrated that minoxidil-encapsulated PLLGA nanoparticles significantly increased minoxidil delivery to hair follicles compared to a minoxidil aqueous solution in mice.
December 2025 in “Therapeutic Drug Monitoring” This study found that while pulverization yielded slightly higher hair cortisol extraction, the significant interindividual differences observed suggest that any of the methods could be used effectively.
February 2025 in “Journal of Forensic Sciences” The study found that sonication washing of hair roots with fewer than 50 visible nuclei could reduce the number of nuclei available for DNA extraction and STR typing, suggesting that for laboratories focused on nuDNA analysis, a gentler washing method might be adequate.
August 2024 in “Proceeding Cendekia International Conference Health and Technology” In this quasi-experimental study, researchers explored the optimal formulation of a nanoemulsion containing candlenut ethanol extract, finding that specific combinations of tween 80, span 80, and sonication time affected its physical properties and stability, although further activity testing is needed.
