Over the past two decades, the development of plasmonic nanoparticle (NPs), especially
gold (Au) NPs, is being pursued more seriously in the medical fields such as imaging, drug …

Drug delivery via hair follicles has attracted much research attention due to its potential to
serve for both local and systemic therapeutic purposes. Recent studies on topical …

Drug penetration through the skin is significant for both transdermal and dermal delivery.
One mechanism that has attracted attention over the last two decades is the transport …

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a well-established bedside imaging modality that
allows analysis of skin structures in a non-invasive way. Automated OCT analysis of skin …

Hair follicles (HF) represent a drug delivery reservoir for improved treatment of skin

Background Skin tags are common and mostly benign, but occasionally contain skin
cancers. This study analysed skin tags by combining three advanced optical imaging …

Distinction between normal skin and pathology can be a diagnostic challenge. This
systematic review summarizes how various contrast agents, either topically delivered or …
