- Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a common hair loss issue affecting many, with current treatments often causing unwanted side effects, especially with oral medications.
- This study introduced new formulations using nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) made from fruit seed lipids, designed to deliver finasteride more effectively with fewer side effects.
- Testing in a rat model of AGA showed that the NLC formulation increased hair follicle activity and restoration while ensuring safety for topical use, indicating a promising advancement in AGA treatment.
Delayed, or type IV, hypersensitivity reactions are a useful model to study the effects of new substances on the immune system. In this study, the experimental model of the delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) reaction to ovalbumin (OVA) was used to evaluate the immunomodulating effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT), which is used as an adjuvant therapy in medicine, dentistry, and physical therapy because of its potential anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects observed in several studies. The effects of LLLT (λ 780 nm, 0.
