"In vitro, the engineered MNAs [microneedle arrays] reduced clotting time from 11.5 minutes to 1.3 minutes; and in a rat liver bleeding model, they reduced bleeding by more than 90%," said Sheikhi.
When the patch is pressed against the body, the needles painlessly penetrate the top layer of the skin. They then harmlessly dissolve and release their pharmaceutical payload into the body.
PharmaTher‘s current ketamine approach consists of a drug reservoir placed on top of the hydrogel microneedle array. After administration into the skin, the microneedles become hydrated and ...
A new skin patch that incorporates microneedles can detect the proinflammatory cytokine IL-6 in the lab, suggesting it may have the potential to diagnose preclinical Alzheimer's and other diseases.
A microneedle patch could reduce wrinkles Shutterstock/DUANGJAN J Using mRNA to direct the body to make more collagen – the most abundant protein in skin – reduces wrinkles in mice.

Skin biopsies could be a thing of the past thanks to the development of a new non-invasive microneedle patch to pre-screen for skin cancer. Dermr Health Solutions Pty Ltd. founder and CEO Stefan Mazy ...
Vaxess, a Cambridge startup with ties to Harvard, MIT, and Tufts, raised $27 million to test its technology in clinical trials after developing the idea for more than a decade.
Melanoma skin cancer treatments currently range from surgery to chemotherapy and radiation therapy, but biomedical engineering researchers are developing a new method that uses microneedle patches ...
Their conversation led to a new collaboration, and the two labs joined forces to work on a microneedle patch to deliver drugs to the skin. In 2021, they reported that such a patch can be used to ...
