Abstract
Dissolving Microneedles The cover illustration depicts the molecular structures of poorly soluble drugs and stevioside. White, translucent bubbles represent nanomicelles formed by stevioside that encapsulate the drug molecules. Above the skin tissue structure, microneedle patches are shown to illustrate the mode of application. The presence of luxuriant hair signifies the therapeutic efficacy, while the use of vibrant green tones highlights the safety and biocompatibility of this treatment approach.
