Journal ArticleDOI

Enhanced Skin Permeation of Anti-wrinkle Peptides via Molecular Modification.

TL;DR: Argireline (Arg0), a mimetic of Botox, has been found to be safer than Botox and effective in reducing wrinkles, with efficacies up to 48% upon 4 weeks of twice daily treatment, but skin permeation of Arg0 is poor, due to its large molecular weight and hydrophilicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reversible effects of permeation enhancers on human skin.

TL;DR: The enhancing effects of both terpenes on the skin were found to be reversible and the permeability of the skin was left intact after the passage of the drug in the vehicle with these enhancers, implying that the vital skin barrier function is restored and not permanently impaired after the application of these enhancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selected Biomarkers Revealed Potential Skin Toxicity Caused by Certain Copper Compounds

TL;DR: GHK-Cu has a low potential of inducing skin irritation and therefore provides a safer alternative for the delivery of copper through skin and is determined to be not cytotoxic and not induce any significant change in the expression levels of various skin irritation-related biomarkers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct Microneedle Array Fabrication Off a Photomask to Deliver Collagen Through Skin

TL;DR: The fabricated microneedle arrays enhance collagen permeation through skin and were shown to enhance permeation of collagen through cadaver rat skin, as compared to passive diffusion of collagen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microfabricated particulate drug-delivery systems.

TL;DR: This review presents an overview of a burgeoning field of DDSs, which can potentially overcome some drawbacks of conventional techniques for particle fabrication and offer better control of particulate D DSs.
