Digital twins: The simulated patient
Digital twins enable customized medical therapies. Researchers have modeled several hundred avatars based on real people and treated them experimentally.
Microneedle patch delivers drugs and procures testing samples
Researchers have developed a biobattery-powered device capable of both delivering large molecule pharmaceuticals across the skin barrier and extracting interstitial fluid for diagnostic purposes.
Microneedles: Nano-sized, huge impact
By downscaling the needles tool to micrometer-size, researchers open even more areas of application for them, while bypassing some of the most important issues.
A new way to deliver drugs through the skin
Scientists have showed that applying "temporal pressure" to the skin of mice can create a new way to deliver drugs.
Smart patch automatically delivers insulin
Researchers have developed a smart insulin-delivery patch that could one day monitor and manage glucose levels in people with diabetes and deliver the necessary insulin dosage.
Microneedle biosensors detect patient antibiotic levels
Scientists have successfully used microneedle biosensors to accurately detect changes in antibiotic levels in the body, for the first time.
Capsule can orally deliver drugs
Coated pill carries microneedles that deliver insulin and other drugs to the lining of the small intestine; they usually have to be injected.
