摘要:
Microstructure manufacturing apparatuses and methods are disclosed herein that enable the production of microstructures in an efficient, cost-effective manner that produces precise, high-quality microstructure products. In the manufacturing process for a microneedle array, for example, a template can be contacted against a surface of a continuous layer of a viscous polymer and separated from the surface to form a plurality of projections. The projections can then be solidified and later cut at a predetermined distance from the surface to form the microstructure.

An active agent can be administered transdermally to a patient by using a transdermal patch that has microneedles that are compositionally homogenous with a base layer. The transdermal patch can contain an active agent that can be delivered to a skin surface of a subject when the patch is applied.

The present invention is drawn to a low-cost “meso” device that is able to effectively deliver functional self-delivery siRNA to subject and inhibit expression of a gene in the subject as well as related methods. In particular, a method of transdermally delivering nucleic acid material to a subject is provided. The method includes adapting a motorized meso machine for delivery of nucleic acid material; introducing nucleic acid material into a chamber of the motorized meso machine; and contacting the motorized meso machine to a skin surface of a subject for a period of time sufficient to deliver the nucleic acid material into the skin surface of the subject.

The present invention provides for transdermal delivery devices having microneedle arrays, as well as methods for their manufacture and use. In one embodiment, a transdermal delivery device is provided. The transdermal delivery device includes a polymer layer which has microneedles projecting from one of its surfaces. The microneedles are compositionally homogenous with the polymer base layer.
