Abstract
Delivery of therapeutics into skin is hindered by the epidermal barriers. To overcome these barriers for the treatment of skin diseases, a cutaneous delivery method capable of field treatment using silica-elongated microparticles is developed. The microparticles are massaged into the skin using a 3D-printed microtextured applicator resulting in significant field-directed drug delivery enhancement.Entities:
