An Energy Autonomous Microneedle Array‐Based Sensing System for Continuous Biomarker Monitoring

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents an innovative self‐powered wearable biosensor system for real‐time monitoring of multiple biomarkers in interstitial fluid. The device integrates stainless steel‐based minimally invasive microneedles with ion‐selective membranes, enabling simultaneous Na+, K+, Ca2+, pH, and glucose detection.

Hair Follicle Seedling Cryomicroneedles from Hierarchical Microfluidic Organoid on a Chip

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this paper, a hierarchical microfluidic chip is developed to produce uniform hair follicle organoids (HFOs) in cryomicroneedles. Cryopreservation agents encapsulate HFOs, preserving viability and hair growth potential. The cryomicroneedles enable simple intradermal transplantation with good skin penetration.

Inside‐Outside ROS Therapeutic Strategy Based on Piezoelectric Nano‐Urchin for Drug‐Resistant Bacteria Biofilm Infections

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The contribution of this study lies not only in enabling effective treatment of drug‐resistant biofilm infections, but also in establishing a transferable therapeutic paradigm: Ultrasound‐triggered mechanical forces synergistically enhance piezoelectric polarization and nanozyme activity, driving functional ROS generation inside and outside biofilms ...

Stabilization of influenza vaccine enhances protection by microneedle delivery in the mouse skin.

PLoS ONE, 2009
BackgroundSimple and effective vaccine administration is particularly important for annually recommended influenza vaccination. We hypothesized that vaccine delivery to the skin using a patch containing vaccine-coated microneedles could be an attractive ...

A Spatially Directed Microneedle Patch Enables Intratumoral Co‐Delivery of FOLFIRINOX, Surufatinib, and Anti‐PD‐1 for Chemo‐Immunotherapy of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A double‐layered shell‐core microneedle patch is developed to co‐deliver FOLFIRINOX, surufatinib, and anti‐PD‐1 for localized chemo‐immunotherapy of PDAC. This strategy achieves sustained tumor suppression, reduces metastasis, and reprograms the TME by enhancing CD8+ T‐cell infiltration and inhibiting Tregs and M2 macrophages infiltration, while ...

A Disulfide‐Sticker Strategy for Marine Adhesive Coatings: From Deciphering Self‐Assembly Mechanism to Functional Application in Hair Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A disulfide‐sticker strategy, coupled with Ca2+ coordination, drives the hierarchical self‐assembly of a recombinant scallop adhesive protein into fishnet‐like nanostructures, affording a coating with versatile wet adhesion and intrinsic antioxidant activity. This biocompatible coating markedly promotes hair regeneration by activating follicular niches,

Neuropeptide Y—Graphene Oxide Complexes Inhibit Amygdala NPY‐Receptor Expressing Glutamatergic Pathways and Selectively Remove Aversive Memory In Vivo

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A graphene oxide nanocarrier presents neuropeptide Y specifically to NPY receptor‐expressing pathways in the amygdala, whose activation selectively suppresses aversive memory formation, without modulating anxiety responses. This circuit‐restricted drug release strategy may impact future design of neuropsychiatric therapies with limited off‐target ...

Novel stereo DIC characterisation of microneedle and hypodermic needle insertion

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
IntroductionMicroneedles are minimally invasive devices, designed for pain-free drug delivery. Until now, the degree of strain exerted on the skin during microneedle insertion, in comparison to gold standard hypodermic needles, has not been quantified ...
