Microneedles offer several advantages over traditional oral and parenteral approaches due to their ability to be fabricated and altered in shape, size and material type, and their convenience to be matched to specific treatment needs. This book covers the materials selection, design and fabrication approaches, and clinical translation of microneedles for a range of therapeutic applications, including cancer therapy, gene and vaccine delivery, wound healing, and more.
This book is a forward-thinking resource for those working in the development of materials and devices for novel drug delivery.
- Introduces the reader to skin anatomy and materials development in regard to microneedles as smart carriers for drug delivery, offering an interdisciplinary approach that will appeal to a wide audience
- Covers a broad range of therapeutic applications, from ocular diseases and photodynamic therapy to sensing and cancer treatment
- Provides an overview of the materials, design, fabrication, clinical translation, commercial aspects of microneedle development, and their applications in drug delivery
Researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of materials science, nanotechnology, pharmaceutical science and biomedical engineering, Clinical scientists and R&D groups developing novel materials for drug delivery and therapeutic applications
