Description
Cao and colleagues reviewed advances in twenty twenty-four in hydrogel microneedles, patches of tiny water-rich needles that deliver drugs through the skin without a syringe. The needles slip past the skin's outer barrier and release their cargo in the tissue below, painlessly.
The review covers the natural and synthetic gels these needles are made from and the ways they are molded and printed. It then surveys uses: healing wounds, regrowing hair, treating heart disease, and attacking cancers. The patches can also sample body fluids for diagnosis. Weaknesses remain, including limited strength, modest drug loads, and no shared standards for making them. The authors propose design fixes and smarter, dose-aware patches. They see the technology edging toward personalized medicine, where treatment adjusts to the patient wearing it.
