Microneedles as a momentous platform for psoriasis therapy and diagnosis: A state-of-the-art review

B. H. Jaswanth Gowda et al.

Summary: Psoriasis is a chronic, autoimmune, and non-communicable skin disease with a prevalence rate of 2-3% worldwide. It is associated with various risk factors such as genetics, pathogens, stress, and medications. Treatment approaches for psoriasis include topical therapy, systemic therapy, and phototherapy, but they have limitations. To overcome these limitations, researchers have developed a microneedle-based drug delivery system for psoriasis treatment. This review provides information on the pathophysiology, risk factors, comorbidities, treatment approaches, and the potential of microneedles in psoriasis therapy and diagnosis.

Conductive Polymer-Coated 3D Printed Microneedles: Biocompatible Platforms for Minimally Invasive Biosensing Interfaces

Antonios Keirouz et al.

Summary: Conductive polymeric microneedle arrays have the potential to be used as minimally invasive monitoring tools in biodevices and wearables. However, previous efforts on microneedle electrodes have been limited to metallic substrates, which lack biological stability and are costly to manufacture. In this study, additive manufacturing is used to fabricate acrylic-based microneedle devices, which are then coated with conductive polypyrrole and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) films. These entirely polymer-based microneedle arrays act as dry conductive electrodes without the need for a metallic seed layer. Two coating methods, in situ polymerization and drop casting, are utilized to achieve conductivity. The fabricated microneedles penetrate porcine skin grafts without compromising their conductivity or morphology, and the coatings demonstrate durability over multiple penetration cycles. The non-cytotoxic nature of the conductive microneedles is confirmed using human fibroblast cells. This fabrication strategy offers a promising approach to manufacturing polymer-based conductive microneedle surfaces for biosensing applications.

A Comprehensive Review of Microneedles: Types, Materials, Processes, Characterizations and Applications

Faisal Khaled Aldawood et al.

Summary: Drug delivery through the skin offers advantages such as avoiding hepatic metabolism and maintaining steady plasma concentration, but only a limited number of drugs with ideal properties can achieve therapeutic concentrations. Microneedles are a promising physical enhancement method to expand the spectrum of drugs for transdermal delivery. Different materials used for microneedles have implications for transdermal drug delivery, but challenges in sustained delivery, efficacy, cost-effective fabrication, and large-scale manufacturing remain. Microneedles have potential impact on drug delivery, vaccine delivery, disease diagnostics, and cosmetics applications.
