      abstract = {This monograph covers a novel technology to deliver drugs  and cosmetics through the skin in a minimally invasive  manner. Microneedles - a bed of miniaturized needles is one  of the most studied topics in delivering actives through  the skin barrier. This book enables readers to understand  the delivery of ingredients through the skin, describes a  novel and simple method to fabricate microneedles  containing a range of small and large molecular weight  compounds, studies their physical properties as well as  delivery through the skin layers. Readers will discover  this book to be extremely beneficial to help them  understand the state of the field of transdermal drug  delivery, with extensive coverage including experimental  data on basics of microneedle fabrication technology using  photolithography, encapsulation of drugs within the  polymeric matrix of microneedles and studying their release  patternsin vitro and ex vivo . Academic researchers,  pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical industry as well as  students of skin science will find this account very useful  in their pursuits. As microneedles grow and develop into a  commercial reality with more actives being delivered and  significant clinical research being put in, this account  will hold well in providing basic principles and knowledge  together with rigorous experimental data.},
