Diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) are challenging because levodopa (LD)-dependent therapies primarily rely on symptom observation management. More sophisticated methods for LD tracking, namely, high-performance liquid chromatography, UV, mass spectrometry, etc., expensive slow. As a potential alternative, wearable microneedle (MN)-based patches, coated with nanodendrites (NDs), offer promising, continuous, minimally invasive monitoring. Laboratory-based platforms show high sensitivity sub-micrometer detection, but predictive design framework does not exist. Here, we report an analytical I=f(LD) ND-on-MNs, quantifying the amperometric response I ND-on-MN platform in terms geometric, catalytic sensor parameters, environmental conditions. We find counter-intuitive results that factors (e.g., low medium diffusivity fluctuation), rather than details geometry, dictate limits. A scaled against parameters provides key insights: (a) maximum enhancement factor this is around 12%, emphasizing importance optimizing parameters; (b) Design strategies focusing high-density sensing sites efficient LD-ND binding most effective solutions improved detection; (c) Increasing geometric dimensions recommended due to patient discomfort. The model, validated experimental data, highlights limitations technology tracking suggests directions MN-based devices PD management, including enhancing selectivity.

Abstract The eye, a complex organ isolated from the systemic circulation, presents significant drug delivery challenges owing to its protective mechanisms, such as blood-retinal barrier and corneal impermeability. Conventional administration methods often fail sustain therapeutic levels may compromise patient safety compliance. Polysaccharide-based microneedles (PSMNs) have emerged transformative solution for ophthalmic delivery. However, comprehensive review of PSMNs in ophthalmology has not been published date. In this review, we critically examine synergy between polysaccharide chemistry microneedle technology enhancing ocular We provide thorough analysis PSMNs, summarizing design principles, fabrication processes, addressed during fabrication, including improving comfort also describe recent advances performance various both research clinical scenarios. Finally, current regulatory frameworks market barriers that are relevant commercial advancement final perspective on area.
