Microneedles (MNs) appear as a transformative and minimally invasive platform for transdermal drug delivery, representing a highly promising strategy in wound healing therapeutics. This technology, entailing the fabrication of micron-scale needle arrays, enables the targeted and efficient delivery of bioactive agents into the epidermal and dermal layers without inducing significant pain or discomfort. The precise penetration of MNs facilitates localized and sustained drug release, which significantly enhances tissue regeneration and accelerates wound closure. Furthermore, MNs can be engineered to encapsulate essential bioactive compounds, including antimicrobial agents, growth factors, and stem cells, which are critical for modulating the wound healing cascade and mitigating infection risk. The biodegradable nature of these MNs obviates the need for device removal, rendering them particularly advantageous in the management of chronic wounds such as diabetic ulcers and pressure sores. The integration of nanotechnology within MNs further augments their drug-loading capacity, stability, and controlled-release kinetics, offering a sophisticated therapeutic modality. This cutting-edge approach has the potential to redefine wound care by optimizing therapeutic efficacy, reducing adverse effects, and enhancing patient adherence. As MN technology advances, its application in wound healing exemplifies a dynamic frontier within biomedical engineering and regenerative medicine.
微针似乎是一种用于透皮给药的变革性和微创平台,是伤口愈合治疗中一种极有前景的策略。这项技术需要制造微米级的针阵列,能够将生物活性剂靶向且高效地递送至表皮和真皮层,而不会引起明显的疼痛或不适。微针的精确穿透有助于局部和持续的药物释放,这显著增强了组织再生并加速了伤口愈合。此外,微针可以设计成包裹必需的生物活性化合物,包括抗菌剂、生长因子和干细胞,这些对于调节伤口愈合级联反应和降低感染风险至关重要。这些微针的可生物降解特性消除了取出装置的需要,使其在治疗糖尿病溃疡和压疮等慢性伤口方面特别具有优势。纳米技术与微针的结合进一步提高了它们的载药能力、稳定性和控释动力学,提供了一种先进的治疗方式。这种前沿方法有可能通过优化治疗效果、减少不良反应和提高患者依从性来重新定义伤口护理。随着微针技术的进步,其在伤口愈合中的应用体现了生物医学工程和再生医学领域一个充满活力的前沿领域。
