Microneedle

Melasma is a common hyperpigmented skin condition that occurs on the face and other areas prone to light exposure, seriously affecting people's quality of life. Microneedle, a new type of transdermal drug delivery device, can significantly improve skin permeability. In this study, we designed and…

The use of systemic anticancer chemotherapy is intrinsically limited by its toxicity. Whether dealing with small molecules or biopharmaceuticals, after systemic administration, small doses fail to reach effective intratumoral concentrations, while high doses with significant tumor inhibition effects…

Lidocaine hydrochloride (LiH), an amide-type local anesthetic agent, is commonly used in dermatological procedures. LiH is categorized as a BCS (biopharmaceutics classification system) class III group, which has high solubility and poor permeability. It should be noted that, in this context, LiH is…

Transepidermal microneedle-assisted drug delivery is an alternative approach that can improve the therapeutic permeability of the drug in the deeper layers of the skin. The project aims to check the effect of a microneedle roller on transepidermal delivery of Iloperiodone across the neonatal porcine…
