Ocular Delivery of Predatory Bacteria with Cryomicroneedles Against Eye Infection.

The development of potent antibiotic alternatives with rapid bactericidal properties is of great importance in addressing the current antibiotic crisis. One representative example is the topical delivery of predatory bacteria to treat ocular bacterial infections. However, there is a lack of suitable methods for the delivery of predatory bacteria into ocular tissue.

Nanodelivery Systems for Topical Management of Skin Disorders.

Topical drug delivery has inherent advantages over other administration routes. However, the existence of stratum corneum limits the diffusion to small and lipophilic drugs. Fortunately, the advancement of nanotechnology brings along opportunities to address this challenge.

Transdermal delivery of small interfering RNAs with topically applied mesoporous silica nanoparticles for facile skin cancer treatment.

Small interfering RNA (siRNA) is a promising tool for the treatment of skin disorders including skin squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). This article develops a topical formulation for the transdermal delivery of siRNA. The formulation is built on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) with a loading capacity of 1.
