Mouse skin after administration of microneedle patch was imaged by digital camera to assess skin penetration efficiency. After administration of microneedle patch for 15 min, mouse ventral skin was stained with trypan blue for 20 min. The mouse was subsequently euthanized, and the skin sample was imaged by digital camera after wiping remaining dye from the skin. In a separate experiment, after 15 min of administration of microneedle patch, the mouse was euthanized, and its ventral skin was isolated carefully. These excised skins were washed with deionized water and then fixed with 4% formalin solution for H&E staining. Histological examination was conducted by an optical microscope under bright-field illumination (Biotek Lionheart FX). Protein retention test Endogenous KGF is a 28 kDa protein produced naturally in the body by dermal fibroblasts within the skin, lamina propria cells of the intestines and, most importantly, mesenchymal cells. Its epithelial cell proliferative properties help to maintain epithelial integrity. 10 The specificity of KGF for epithelial cells is due to its exclusive action on KGF receptors, which are present on epithelial cells and absent on cells of hematopoietic origin. 11, 12 rHuKGF is a recombinant N-terminal truncated form of human KGF prepared from Escherichia coli using recombinant DNA technology. The molecular weight of rHuKGF is only 16.2 kDa, which is smaller than that of endogenous KGF due to the removal of the first 23 N-terminal amino acids with an elimination half-life (t 1/2) of 4.5 hours. 13 It has similar biological activity to the native protein but higher stability. 14Also, sometimes the use of needles can introduce pathogens, such as bacteria, that may cause infections, especially in people with low immunity.” In contrast to ISF extraction, microneedles functionalized with biorecognition elements can specifically capture target biomarkers in ISF, which can be followed by ex vivo analysis 17, 18. Direct exposure of microneedles to ISF allows the biorecognition elements on the microneedle to capture target biomarkers in situ, thus offering a promising technology for simple and efficient biodetection. However, physiological concentrations of the protein biomarkers in the ISF are usually lower compared to those in blood 4, 19. Moreover, analyte–antibody binding kinetics are deteriorated due to the dense tissue environment, which results in slower diffusion of target biomolecules to the sensor surface (that is, the microneedle surface), further lowering the probability of analyte capture and consequent signal intensity corresponding to the analyte. These challenges exacerbate the difficulty of detection of protein biomarkers in interstitial fluid. Despite the recent advances in multiplexed detection of biomarkers 20, the sensitivities of existing microneedle-based analytical methods are insufficient to detect (or quantify) most ISF protein biomarkers, which limits the development potential for diagnostic tests based on ISF biomarker levels. Most previous reports are limited to mice that have been intravenously injected with high concentrations of recombinant target markers as pseudo models, or to biomolecules present at relatively high levels (micrograms per millilitre in blood) 17. Finally, existing microneedle-based in vivo sampling and detection methods are limited to qualitative analysis in which the target biomarker concentration is represented as relative fluorescence intensity, absorbance value or normalized relative quantity 18, 20, 21. This limitation precludes quantitative comparisons of the biomarker concentrations across different experiments and across different laboratories for biomedical research and decreases opportunities for standardization of the cut-off values for clinical biomarkers.

Rapid and selective sampling of IgG from skin in less than 1 min using a high surface area wearable immunoassay patch. Biomaterials 170, 49–57 (2018). To access stability of protein bound on the microneedles, the microneedles were coated with BSA–CW800. After washing with PBST and drying, fluorescence images were recorded using LI-COR Odyssey CLx imaging system. Subsequently, microneedles were administered on mouse dorsal skin and left for different periods of time, varying from 15 s to 60 min. Fluorescence images were recorded again using the same parameters in LI-COR Odyssey CLx imaging system. The fluorescence intensity before and after administration was compared to assess the retained fraction of the protein on the microneedle surface. Assessing in vitro biocompatibility of microneedle patch Research from Swansea University’s microneedle fabrication and transdermal testing facilities within the Centre for Nanohealth, is underpinning a host of microneedle technologies. These patches are by no means cheap, but they are a godsend for staving off big blemishes just before important events. An affordable microneedle skin patch that delivers a controlled dosage of medicine directly into the body, eliminating the need for injections or oral medication, has been developed by a team led by scientists at the University of Bath.
