Using ultrasound waves, researchers boost skin’s permeability to drugs.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.–(ENEWSPF)–September 14, 2012. Using ultrasound waves, MIT engineers have found a way to enhance the permeability of skin to drugs, making transdermal drug delivery more efficient. This technology could pave the way for noninvasive drug delivery or needle-free vaccinations, according to the researchers.
“This could be used for topical drugs such as steroids — cortisol, for example — systemic drugs and proteins such as insulin,…
