January 2020 in “Refubium (Universitätsbibliothek der Freien Universität Berlin)” This thesis explored how stratum corneum barrier disruption and pH-sensitive nanoparticles influence drug penetration and release in skin models, highlighting potential applications for treating atopic dermatitis.
October 2020 in “Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences” This study found that using gallate-containing formulations like EGCG or tannic acid increased the solubility and controlled release of finasteride in microspheres, enhancing its dermal penetration in pig skin by 10 to 50 times compared to a control.
March 2026 in “ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces” This study described a novel three-dimensional-printed microneedle system designed for improved transdermal delivery of minoxidil to treat hair loss, demonstrating effective hair regrowth and safety in a mouse model while allowing sustainable needle base recovery.
This study developed a novel, 3D-printed dissolving microneedle system for delivering minoxidil to treat hair loss, which showed pH-triggered drug release and enhanced hair regrowth in an alopecia mouse model, offering a potentially sustainable and safe transdermal therapy option.
