Routine blood monitoring in acne vulgaris patients on isotretinoin: Is reassessment warranted? A retrospective cohort study from Tygerberg Hospital.
South African medical journal = Suid-Afrikaanse tydskrif vir geneeskunde · 2026
BACKGROUND: Oral isotretinoin is an indispensable treatment for patients with resistant and severe acne vulgaris, both in South Africa (SA) and globally. While routine laboratory monitoring is often deemed unnecessary for young, healthy patients, it remains unclear whether this applies in the SA context. OBJECTIVES: To assess the need for routine blood monitoring for acne vulgaris patients on… Read on PubMed →
Proteoglycan Mimetics-Based Antimicrobial and Anti-Inflammatory Microneedles Restoring Dysregulated Lipid Metabolism and Suppressing Skin Atrophy for Acne Treatment.
Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany) · 2026
Over 15% of acne patients manifest moderate to severe clinical presentations, accompanied with bacterial infection, long-term inflammatory responses, dysregulated lipid metabolism, and post-acne skin atrophy. Although microneedles (MNs) represent an effective transdermal drug delivery system for acne treatment, the therapeutic effects on the restoration of dysregulated lipid metabolism and the… Read on PubMed →
The study of transdermal delivery mechanism of liposomes using stratum corneum lipid membrane model.
Colloids and surfaces. B, Biointerfaces · 2026
A reliable assessment of skin permeation is essential for the rational design of transdermal formulations which effectively deliver active ingredients. In particular, a skin screening platform capable of evaluating skin permeability and elucidating the penetration mechanisms of skin penetration enhancers (SPEs), such as liposomes, is critical for advancing transdermal delivery systems. Here, we… Read on PubMed →
