Fabrication of dissolving microneedles for transdermal delivery of protein and peptide drugs:…
Proteins and peptides are rapidly developing pharmaceutical products and are expected to continue growing in the future. However, due to their nature, their delivery is often limited to injection, with drawbacks such as pain and needle waste. To overcome these limitations, microneedle technology is…

Detachable-Dissolvable-Microneedle as a potent subunit vaccine delivery device that requires no…
Although vaccine administration by microneedles has been demonstrated, delivery reliability issues have prevented their implementation. Through an ex vivo porcine skin experiment, we show visual evidence indicating that detachable dissolvable microneedles (DDMN) can deposit cargo into the dermis…

Topical Drug Delivery – Excipients for creams, gels, and lotions
Stable and efficient semisolid preparations with optimal skin-feel have become the desirable standard in topical and
transdermal drug delivery. Lubrizol Life Science Health (LLS Health) has long-standing experience with semisolids,
offering rheology-modifying, emulsifying and bioadhesive…

Tip loaded cyclodextrin-carvedilol complexes microarray patches
Carvedilol, a β-blocker prescribed for chronic heart failure, suffers from poor bioavailability and rapid first pass metabolism when administered orally. Herein, we present the development of tip microarray patches (MAPs) composed of ternary cyclodextrin (CD) complexes of carvedilol for transdermal…

Microneedles for Enhanced Topical Treatment of Skin Disorders: Applications, Challenges, and…
Microneedles (MNs) can be used for the topical treatment of skin disorders as they directly deliver therapeutics to the site of skin lesions, resulting in increased therapeutic efficacy while having minimum side effects. MNs are used to deliver different kinds of therapeutics (e.g., small molecules,…
