Transdermal Delivery of Macromolecules Using Two-in-One Nanocomposite Device for Skin Electroporation

Delivery of hydrophilic molecules through the skin using electroporation is a promising alternative approach to intradermal injection. Recently, we developed a two-in-one electrode/reservoir material composed of carbon nanotubes and agarose hydrogel. In this work, we evaluated the potential of the d...
