Oxygen carriers are attracting extensive interest in biomedical research and clinical applications such as wound healing, alternative blood transfusion, acute trauma treatment. Great efforts have been devoted to the generation of oxygen with special functions properties meet specific demands. Here, we present black phosphorus (BP)-loaded separable responsive microneedles (MNs) carrying controllable delivering ability for healing. Such MNs composed a polyvinyl acetate (PVA) backing layer gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) tips that loaded BP quantum dots (BP QDs) hemoglobin (Hb). Taking advantage fast dissolvability PVA, soon disappears after applied skin noncytotoxic, biocompatible GelMA left inside skin. Due excellent photothermal effect QDs reversible binding property Hb, local temperature will increase near-infrared ray irradiation, resulting release. Notably, practical performance has demonstrated by treating full-thickness cutaneous wounds type I diabetes rat model, indicating their potential value healing other related fields.

Abstract Transdermal microneedle (MN) patches are a promising tool used to transport wide variety of active compounds into the skin. To serve as substitute for common hypodermic needles, MNs must pierce human stratum corneum (~ 10 20 µm), without rupturing or bending during penetration. This ensures that cargo is released at predetermined place and time. Therefore, ability MN sufficiently skin crucial requirement. In current review, pain signal its management application typical needles presented compared. followed by discussion on mechanical analysis models insertion tests before clinical practice. Factors affect (e.g., geometry, material composition cross-linking MNs), along with recent advancements in developed strategies responsive 3D printed biomimetic using two-photon lithography) improve penetration highlighted provide backdrop future research.

Transdermal delivery has the advantage of bypassing first-pass effect and allowing sustained release drug. However, drug is limited owing to barrier created by stratum corneum. Microneedles are a transdermal system that painless, less invasive, easy self-administer, with high bioavailability. The dose, rate, efficacy drugs can be controlled microneedle design formulations. This review introduces types microneedles their design, materials used for fabrication, manufacturing methods. Additionally, recent biological applications clinical trials introduced. With advancements made in formulation technologies, drug-loading capability improved. 3D printing digital technology contribute improvement fabrication technology. regulations regarding manufacture products should established as soon possible promote commercialization.

The use of microneedles has facilitated the painless localized delivery drugs across skin. However, their efficacy been limited by slow diffusion molecules and often requires external triggers. Herein, an autonomous degradable, active microneedle platform is introduced, employing magnesium microparticles loaded within patch, as built-in engine for deeper faster intradermal payload delivery. particles react with interstitial fluid, leading to explosive-like rapid production H2 bubbles, providing necessary force breach dermal barriers enhance release kinetics evaluated in vitro measuring amount IgG antibody (as a model drug) that passed through phantom tissue pigskin barrier.
