Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc.) and the Institute for Stem Cell Science and Regenerative Medicine (inStem) have used a novel method to produce microneedles.
According to IISc., microneedle patches can help inject insulin just below the skin surface without pricking deep like normal syringes. However, microneedles are manufactured using complex procedures, like photolithography, that require clean rooms, and are time-consuming. This complexity limits their mass production and self-administration.
To overcome this restraint, researchers at the two institutes have used a novel method to produce microneedles.
