Abstract
Cells, exosomes, and nucleic acids play crucial roles in biomedical engineering, holding substantial clinical potential. However, their utility is often hindered by various drawbacks, including cellular immunogenicity, and instability of exosomes and nucleic acids. In recent years, microneedle (MN) technology has revolutionized drug delivery by offering minimal invasiveness and remarkable versatility. MN has emerged as an ideal platform for the extraction, storage, and delivery of these biological components. This review presents a comprehensive overview of the historical progression and recent advances in the field of MN. Specifically, it highlights the current applications of cell-, exosome-, and nucleic acid-based MN systems, while presenting prevailing research challenges. Additionally, the review provides insights into the prospects of MN in this area, aiming to provide new ideas for researchers and facilitate the clinical translation of MN technology.
