The minimally-invasive and painless nature of microneedle (MN) application has enabled
the technology to obviate many issues with injectable drug delivery. MNs not only administer …

Transdermal delivery provides numerous benefits over conventional routes of
administration. However, this strategy is generally limited to a few molecules with specific …

Microneedles (MNs) have recently been found to have applications in drug, vitamin, protein
and vaccine delivery. Polymeric MN arrays continue to attract increasing attention due to …

Natural biodegradable polymers generally include polysaccharides (starch, alginate,
chitin/chitosan, hyaluronic acid derivatives, etc.) and proteins (collagen, gelatin, fibrin, etc.) …

Abstract Background Nanosuspension-loaded microneedles (MNs) are an emerging and
advanced strategy used extensively to formulate lipophilic molecules by embedding them …

Polysaccharides are ubiquitous, generally benign in nature, and compatible with many
tissues in biomedical situations, making them appealing candidates for new materials such …

Purpose To demonstrate the feasibility of vacuum compression molding as a novel
technique for fabricating polymeric poly (D, L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) microneedles. Methods …

Mathematical models are used to characterize and optimize drug release in drug delivery
systems (DDS). One of the most widely used DDS is the poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid)(PLGA) …

To prevent the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and aid restoration to
prepandemic normality, global mass vaccination is urgently needed. Inducing herd immunity …

Microneedles are used to deliver drugs topically across the skin and mucous membranes.
