Lipid-based nanocarrier systems have multiple advantages, including biocompatibility, biodegradability and drug loading capacity. Combining these findings with the concept of dissolving microneedles (MNs) would aid in the efficient delivery of peptides and improve therapeutic outcomes. Thus, MN-mediated transdermal delivery was explored for the delivery of salmon calcitonin (sCT).

Currently available treatment methods (topical eyedrops) for anterior segment diseases pose several limitations in terms of bioavailability and patient compliance. Conventional drug delivery methods to treat posterior segment ocular diseases are primarily intravitreal injection (IVT) of solutions.
