May 2026 in “Drug Delivery” This study introduces a finite element analysis (FEA)-guided framework for designing separable bubble microneedles (BMNs) that optimize geometry and cavity parameters for controlled tip separation and robust insertion. The study tested minoxidil sulfate-loaded BMNs (MXS-BMNs) and insulin-loaded BMNs (INS-BMNs) for transdermal and sublingual delivery, respectively. The BMNs demonstrated effective payload release, with over 80% liberated within 10 minutes. In ex vivo tests, MXS-BMNs showed significantly higher minoxidil permeation compared to topical gel, and in vivo tests on mice showed accelerated hair regrowth. INS-BMNs effectively lowered glucose levels in diabetic rats, comparable to subcutaneous injections. This approach reduces empirical iteration, facilitating the development of efficient microneedle systems for rapid drug delivery.

December 2024 in “Pharmaceutics” Hydrogel microneedles offer a promising, minimally invasive way to treat diseases like cancer and hair loss, but need improvements in strength and standardization.
May 2026 in “Journal of Nanobiotechnology” The study developed a palmitoylated peptide, Pal-MPAPO, incorporated into a hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel microneedle system for effective transdermal delivery to promote hair regeneration. The microneedles demonstrated sufficient mechanical strength for skin insertion and enabled prolonged release of the peptide. In human dermal papilla cells, Pal-MPAPO activated the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and increased cAMP levels primarily through VPAC1, with no significant role for VPAC2. Molecular interactions were confirmed through various simulations and imaging techniques. In a C57BL/6 mouse model, the Pal-MPAPO-loaded microneedles significantly enhanced hair regrowth, showing similar efficacy to minoxidil but requiring less frequent application. This suggests Pal-MPAPO as a promising candidate for hair regeneration with the hydrogel microneedle system offering a targeted delivery method.
