Description
Yihui Yu and co-authors review microneedle patches for vitiligo in a 2024 paper. The condition strips pigment from patches of skin in an autoimmune attack, and creams often fail to reach the right layer. Microneedles, tiny projections on a patch, cross the skin barrier painlessly and place drugs where they act.
Newer versions made of gel or hollow cores are kinder to skin and carry more drug types. The review collects the design principles behind these patches, the lab and early clinical work so far, and the hurdles ahead. A patch that doses precisely, without injections or mess, could change daily care for a stubborn condition.
