Spoiled salmon can cause foodborne diseases and severely affects human health. Herein, we report a pH-responsive colorimetric microneedle (MN) patch fabricated from bromothymol blue (BTB) and silk fibroin meth acryloyl (SilMA) (BTB/SilMA@MN patch) for sensing salmon spoilage. The needle tips of MN could penetrate food cling film and insert into fish to extract tissue fluids directly and transport the extracted fluids to the backing layer for color displaying. The color change of BTB/SilMA@MN patches depended on the pH variation resulting from the increase of total volatile basic nitrogen in salmon during storage. The color of MN patches changed from yellow to yellowish green and to final green, indicating salmon changed from fresh to medium fresh and then to putrefied, respectively. Salmon spoilage can be rapidly determined via naked eye recognition and also analyzed on a smartphone in a nondestructive way, allowing consumers to estimate food quality easily and reliably.

The outbreak of the monkeypox epidemic underscores the importance of developing a rapid and sensitive virus detection technique. Microneedles (MNs) offer minimally invasive sampling capabilities, providing a solution for the development of integrated extraction and diagnostic portable devices. Here, we report an integrated MNs and hydrogel biosensor (IMHB) platform, composed of an electronic device, an MN patch, and a hydrogel patch.

Chronic wound management requires continuous monitoring to assess healing and guide treatment. We developed a hollow microneedle array patch integrated with a lateral flow immunoassay strip to address the need for convenient, home-based diagnostics. This device extracts wound exudate directly from the wound matrix, overcoming the limitations of conventional swab sampling, which relies on surface exudate collection.

Water-injected meat leads to microbial growth, which affects the health of consumers. A colorimetric porous polymer microneedle patch was designed and prepared using photopolymerization of an acrylate monomer with porogen to be the substrate, and cobalt (II) chloride as color change indicator and tartrazine as the reference. The color of the microneedle patch changed from green to yellow green and to yellow as the increase of moisture concentration.

An antiviral prodrug that has received regulatory approval and primarily employed in the treatment of hepatitis C is sofosbuvir (SOF). It is therefore imperative to develop advanced delivery methods for SOF in order to address existing absor ption issue and maximize the efficacy. In this study, we developed microneedle-integrated SOF (MN-SOF) which were elongated with branches and coated capsules to form luminar capsule microneedles (LUCAMs).
