Microneedles (MNs) are micrometer-sized arrays that can penetrate the skin in a minimally invasive manner; these devices offer tremendous potential for transdermal delivery of therapeutic molecules. Although there many conventional techniques manufacturing MNs, most them complicated and only fabricate MNs with specific geometries, which restricts ability to adjust performance MNs. Herein, we present fabrication gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) MN using vat photopolymerization 3D printing...

Parkinson’s disease, the second most common neurodegenerative disease in world, develops due to decreased dopamine levels basal ganglia. Levodopa, a precursor used treatment of can be as drug delivery system. This study presents an approach use 3D-printed levodopa-loaded neural tissue scaffolds produced with polylactic acid (PLA) and chitosan (CS) for disease. Surface morphology pore sizes were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Average 100–200 µm found ideal engineering...

Abstract In this study, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), gelatin (GEL) and gentamicin (GEN) were used 13PVA/0.5GEL/GEN nanofibers fabricated with the electrospinning method. These crosslinked chemically glutaraldehyde (GA) at different time intervals (2, 3, 4, 5, 5.5 6 h) to observe crosslinking effect on properties of nanofibers. Morphological analysis reported that as increased, nanofiber diameters also increased from 369.26 nm (non‐crosslinked) 447.72 (6 h/crosslinking), respectively. The thermal...
