research Formulation and Evaluation of Valproic Acid Microemulsions for Enhanced Transfollicular Delivery in Guinea Pig Skin
This study found that valproic acid-loaded microemulsion formulations enhanced skin penetration pathways in guinea pigs compared to an aqueous solution, with composition elements like oil content and surfactant ratios significantly affecting drug delivery performance.
research Development and Skin Penetration Pathway Evaluation Using Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy of Microemulsions for Dermal Delivery Enhancement of Finasteride
This study found that finasteride-loaded microemulsions using poloxamer 124 significantly enhanced skin penetration of the drug compared to a standard solution, primarily through targeting hair follicles via the transfollicular pathway, with intercluster, intercellular, and transcellular pathways contributing less.
research Use of the skin sandwich technique to probe the role of the hair follicles in sonophoresis
In this study, brief ultrasound exposure reduced the follicular contribution to hydrocortisone absorption while significantly increasing total skin permeability, likely due to removal of the upper stratum corneum.
research Mechanistic study of decreased skin penetration using a combination of sonophoresis with sodium fluorescein-loaded PEGylated liposomes with D-limonene
This study found that low-frequency sonophoresis significantly decreased the skin penetration of sodium fluorescein-loaded PEGylated liposomes with D-limonene and affected percutaneous absorption by partially plugging hair follicle orifices.

3 / 1000+ resultscommunity Kintor Pharma Announces Completion of Patient Enrollment in Phase II Clinical Trial of GT20029 for Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia in China
Kintor Pharma completed patient enrollment for a Phase II trial in China for GT20029, a potential new treatment for hair loss. Some believe GT20029 could replace finasteride if effective, while others discuss finasteride's limited efficacy and potential underreported side effects.
community What is the deal with "longitudinal partial follicular unit transplantation"
Longitudinal partial follicular unit transplantation involves extracting part of the donor follicular unit, allowing the donor area to maintain hair production and potentially increasing transplant yield. The conversation questions if this method is practiced in clinics or remains theoretical, and whether it relates to hair cloning or multiplication.
community What is the deal with "longitudinal partial follicular unit transplantation"
Longitudinal partial follicular unit transplantation involves extracting part of the donor follicular unit, allowing the donor area to be overharvested without noticeable hair loss. The conversation questions if this method is practiced in clinics or if it's theoretical, and whether it relates to hair cloning or multiplication.
