Microneedles

Microneedles explores the design, fabrication, and use of microneedles for drug and vaccine delivery. This book discusses the contemporary status of the field, describing several areas in detail including the distinct types of microneedles (dissolving, solid, coted, hollow and hydrogel-forming). The anatomy of the eye is also described to facilitate an understanding of microneedle-assisted ocular drug delivery. Microneedles also provides a detailed discussion of microneedle use in the field of diagnostics and a chapter is dedicated to mathematical modeling of microneedle-mediated drug delivery. Microneedles can be used by research scientists in academia and the industry who investigate microneedles. Regulatory scientists and graduate students also find relevant information in the book. Provides information for the design and fabrication of microneedles Discusses the choice of materials, fabrication protocol, sterilization protocol, and characterization Supplies the most up-to-date research on all aspects of microneedles
