Minimally Invasive Protein Delivery with Rapidly Dissolving Polymer Microneedles

A new room‐temperature, in situ polymerization process to produce microneedles (see figure), which can encapsulate functional biomolecules and dissolve within minutes, is presented. The dissolution rate and mechanical strength of these polymer microneedles can be tailored by changing monomer composi...
