Application of Bionics in the Field of Microneedles
Microneedles are a novel transdermal drug delivery method with the advantage of improving drug permeation efficiency and bioavailability.However,microneedle technology faces problems such as insufficient hardness and poor drug delivery accuracy in actual clinical applications.Bionics is a scientific approach that constructs technical systems with specific functions by utilizing the functions and behaviors of biological systems in nature,it can effectively achieve innovative integration between systems,and provide new ideas for solving above problems.At present,bionic microneedles are widely applied in the medical field,such as assisting in wound healing,surgical operations,and physiological/pathological monitoring.This paper summarizes the researches on improving microneedle performance using bionics,and discusses the clinical development prospects of bionic microneedles to provide a new perspective for the future development of microneedle technology.
