Development of AI-assisted 3D-printed degradable hydrogel microneedles for transdermal delivery of progesterone-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles: a novel approach to slowing Alzheimer's disease progression.

International journal of pharmaceutics · 2026

Progesterone (PG) is used to slow the progression of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease (AD) in postmenopausal women. However, PG exhibits high lipophilicity, resulting in strong binding to skin tissues and plasma proteins, which may limit its systemic transport via transdermal routes. Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) have been highlighted for their potential to enhance… Read on PubMed →
