Microneedles (MNs) serve as a revolutionary paradigm in transdermal drug delivery, heralding a viable resolution to the formidable barriers presented by the cutaneous interface. This review examines MNs as an advanced approach to enhancing dermatological pathology management. It explores the complex dermis structure and highlights the limitations of traditional transdermal methods, emphasizing MNs' advantage in bypassing the stratum corneum to deliver drugs directly to the subdermal matrix.

In recent years, functional foods have attracted increasing attention due to growing health consciousness. When functional food ingredients are poorly water-soluble, they largely fail to be absorbed due to their low solubility in the digestive tract, limiting their ability to exert their functions. To develop poorly water-soluble compounds into viable functional food ingredients, it is important to increase their gastrointestinal absorption so that they can fully exert their functions, and to ensure their safety and efficacy through ADMET research.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by pruritus and impaired skin barrier function. Advances in drug delivery systems have transformed AD treatment by enhancing drug stability, bioavailability, and targeted delivery. Drug delivery systems such as liposomes, hydrogels, and microneedles enable deeper skin penetration, prolonged drug retention, and controlled release, reducing side effects and treatment frequency.

The skin, our largest organ, protects against environmental dangers but is vulnerable to various conditions like infections, eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, skin cancer, and age-related collagen and elastin degradation. Its outer layer, the water-impermeable epidermis, presents challenges for passive drug delivery to the lower living layers of the skin. An ideal dermal delivery system should penetrate the epidermis and release treatments over time.

Importance: Clinician-guided online self-help based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been shown to be effective at decreasing symptom severity for people with atopic dermatitis (AD). A brief online self-guided CBT intervention could be more cost-effective and allow for easy implementation and broader outreach compared with more comprehensive clinician-guided interventions.
Objective: To investigate whether a brief online self-guided CBT intervention is noninferior to a comprehensive online clinician-guided CBT treatment.
