April 2017 in “DR-NTU (Nanyang Technological University)” This study found that adjusting the polymer gel composition can create a more consistent release profile of finasteride with reduced initial burst release, enhancing patient compliance through in situ polymer precipitation.
September 2025 in “Journal of Drug Delivery Science and Technology” Vitamin D3-coated nanoparticles effectively deliver caffeine for alopecia treatment with minimal side effects.
This study developed a personalized microneedle that delivers finasteride directly to the skin, facilitating a sustained release and potentially reducing side effects associated with oral administration.
May 2026 in “European Cells and Materials” In this study, researchers developed a novel delivery system using hyaluronic acid gels to encapsulate Huperzine A for Alzheimer's treatment, achieving extended release over 20 days and significantly improving pathology and behavior in mice, including enhanced memory and reduced neuroinflammation.
July 2026 in “International Journal of Drug Delivery Technology” This study developed and optimized a transdermal patch for posaconazole, demonstrating enhanced drug release and skin permeation, suggesting potential for controlled antifungal delivery.
