Revolutionizing Psoriasis Care: Microneedle Innovations in Treatment and Diagnosis

This study found that a biocomposite microneedle system, which includes selenium nanozyme and hypoxic extracellular vesicles, enhanced hair density and follicle diameter in androgenetic alopecia mice by fighting inflammation, promoting blood vessel growth, reducing reactive oxygen species, and counteracting androgen effects.

This study developed a gas-propelled microneedle patch with puerarin/quercetin nanoparticles, which demonstrated improved hair-regenerating effects in an androgenetic alopecia mouse model by increasing drug delivery, alleviating oxidative stress, promoting angiogenesis, and rejuvenating senescent cells.

This study found that a microneedle system delivering VEGF and Ritlecitinib improved hair regeneration in mice with androgenetic alopecia, showing faster anagen onset and better hair quality compared to minoxidil.

This review article highlights recent advances in microneedle technology for wound healing and tissue regeneration, discussing various cargo types, structural designs, and fabrication methods, and suggesting guidelines for designing microneedle systems tailored to specific applications.

In this review, researchers discussed recent advances in nanotechnology for topical skin applications, highlighting how nanocarriers enhance skin penetration and targeting in treatments for diseases like melanoma and psoriasis, while acknowledging that the penetration mechanisms and health impacts of nanoparticles remain not fully understood.

This review discusses the advantages, applications, and current trends of dissolving microneedles for drug delivery across various therapeutic areas and reports no new clinical results.

This review highlights how advanced nanocarrier and microneedle-based transdermal drug delivery strategies can potentially improve the treatment of skin diseases by enhancing site-specific drug delivery, increasing skin penetration, and reducing systemic toxicity compared to conventional methods.

This review outlines the development, applications, and challenges of microneedle-based drug delivery from 2000-2019, particularly highlighting fabrication techniques, but reports no new clinical results.
