Background: In recent years, transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDS) have gained popularity as a non-invasive, patient-friendly medication delivery method.
Objective: This review article examines the latest transdermal medication delivery developments and breakthroughs. The review begins with a brief summary of transdermal medication administration, stressing the skin's barrier role and drug permeation methods. Novel materials and methods improve drug solubility, stability, and skin permeability in formulation technologies.
Methods: A literature review of the most recent innovations in TDDS, such as nano-based delivery systems, microneedles, and smart patches, was conducted. Major challenges of drug solubility, stability, and skin permeability were carefully discussed, along with the transdermal patch designs of new therapeutic applications in pain management, cardiovascular diseases, and hormone therapy.
Results: Transdermal medication delivery difficulties may be overcome via nano-based drug delivery systems, microneedle arrays, and smart patches. Furthermore, the paper discusses current advances in transdermal patch design for therapeutic applications, highlighting effective instances in pain management, cardiovascular illness, and hormone therapy.
Conclusion: The article examines transdermal medication delivery regulations, safety, and patient compliance in addition to technological advances. The complete study in this review seeks to help academics, doctors, and pharmaceutical professionals understand transdermal drug delivery and its future. Understanding recent advances in this field can help stakeholders design more effective and patient-friendly transdermal drug delivery systems, enhancing treatment outcomes and patient well-being.

Importance: Consumer wearable technologies have wide applications, including some that have US Food and Drug Administration clearance for health-related notifications. While wearable technologies may have premarket testing, validation, and safety evaluation as part of a regulatory authorization process, information on their postmarket use remains limited. The Stanford Center for Digital Health organized 2 pan-stakeholder think tank meetings to develop an organizing concept for empirical research on the postmarket evaluation of consumer-facing wearables.

Hemophilia, an X-linked monogenic disorder, arises from mutations in the or genes, which encode clotting factor VIII (FVIII) or clotting factor IX (FIX), respectively. As a prominent hereditary coagulation disorder, hemophilia is clinically manifested by spontaneous hemorrhagic episodes. Severe cases may progress to complications such as stroke and arthropathy, significantly compromising patients' quality of life.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) represents a major global health challenge with no ideal treatment options available. Early-stage treatment typically focuses on symptomatic relief of pain and stiffness; while late-stage patients can only opt for surgical interventions such as joint replacement to improve quality of life. Cell-free therapy based on extracellular vesicles (EVs) has offered a novel therapeutic approach for regulating bone metabolism and repairing cartilage, demonstrating emerging potential.

Oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), condensed tannins found plentiful in grape seeds and berries, have higher bioavailability and therapeutic benefits due to their low degree of polymerization. Recent evidence places OPCs as effective modulators of cancer stem cell (CSC) plasticity and tumor growth. Mechanistically, OPCs orchestrate multi-pathway inhibition by destabilizing Wnt/β-catenin, Notch, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, JAK/STAT3, and Hedgehog pathways, triggering β-catenin degradation, silencing stemness regulators (OCT4, NANOG, SOX2), and stimulating tumor-suppressive microRNAs (miR-200, miR-34a).

Natural phytoconstituents such as betanin and curcumin have attracted interest for their significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Their therapeutic efficacy is notably constrained by inadequate bioavailability and reduced skin permeability. The current study developed an ethosome-based gel system for the delivery of betanin and curcumin, with the objective of improving transdermal penetration and providing sustained anti-inflammatory effects.
