Drug delivery through the skin by transdermal patches has a long history. Subsequent
growth of transdermal science proved prominent utility of transdermal systems meant for …

Controlled drug delivery in the oral cavity poses challenges such as bacterial contamination,
saliva dilution, and inactivation by salivary enzymes upon ingestion. Microneedles offer a …

The success of transdermal drug delivery has been severely limited by the inability of most
drugs to enter the skin at therapeutically useful rates. Recently, the use of micron-scale …

Microneedles are an efficient and minimally invasive approach to transdermal drug delivery
and extraction of skin interstitial fluid. Compared to solid microneedles made of silicon …

Microneedle arrays are promising devices for the delivery of drugs and vaccines into or the
skin. However, little is known about the safety of the microneedles. In this study we obtained …

The powerful and intriguing idea that drives the emerging technology of microneedles—
shrinking the standard needle to a micron scale—has fostered an entire field of microneedle …

Transdermal drug delivery offers an attractive alternative to the conventional drug delivery
methods of oral administration and injection. However, the stratum corneum acts as a barrier …

In this focused progress review, the recent developments and trends of hydrogel‐forming
microneedles (HFMs) and potential future directions are presented. Previously …

Importance of the field: Microneedles are small-scale devices that are finding use for
transdermal delivery of protein-based pharmacologic agents and nucleic acid-based …

Transdermal drug delivery offers several attractive advantages over the traditional oral and
parenteral routes. Particularly, in case of paediatric patients, it helps to overcome the issues …
