A Novel Way To Deliver More Drugs Through The Skin – Technology Networks
By applying “temporal pressure” to the skin of mice, researchers have shown that the pressure technique can be used to create a novel drug delivery approach.
Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) have showed that applying temporal pressure to the skin of mice can create a new way to deliver drugs. In a paper published in Science Advances, the researchers showed that bringing together two magnets so that they pinch and apply pressure to a fold of skin, led to short term changes in the skin barrier and specifically the formation of micropores underneath i…
