  • Publication number: 20220151516
    Abstract: Methods, structures, and systems are disclosed for biosensing and drug delivery techniques. In one aspect, a device for detecting an analyte and/or releasing a biochemical into a biological fluid can include an array of hollowed needles, in which each needle includes a protruded needle structure including an exterior wall forming a hollow interior and an opening at a terminal end of the protruded needle structure that exposes the hollow interior, and a probe inside the exterior wall to interact with one or more chemical or biological substances that come in contact with the probe via the opening to produce a probe sensing signal, and an array of wires that are coupled to probes of the array of hollowed needles, respectively, each wire being electrically conductive to transmit the probe sensing signal produced by a respective probe.

  • Publication number: 20180369136
    Abstract: Various implementations include a transdermal drug delivery system for treating basal cell carcinoma. The system includes a pharmacologic agent and an array of microneedles for creating pores in the skin surface and the stratum corneum layer of the epidermis, thereby enabling transdermal delivery of the pharmacologic agent. The pharmacologic agent includes itraconazole and/or vitamin D3. Various implementations also include a method of treating basal cell carcinoma in a subject. The method includes: (1) applying an array of microneedles to a skin site having basal cell carcinoma, such that the microneedles penetrate the surface of the skin and the stratum corneum layer of the skin; and (2) administering a pharmaceutical composition to the subject intradermally through openings in the skin formed by the microneedles, wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmacologic chosen from itraconazole, vitamin D3, or a combination thereof.
