Abstract

The bio-microbur therapeutic delivery platform is a three-dimensional (3D)-oriented nanoneedle platform shaped like a microscale version of a fruit bur. The bio-microbur may be used for drug delivery and other biological applications, including without limitation delivery of oral vaccines or other oral biologics. Similar to a fruit bur's ability to adhere to different surfaces, the bio-microbur therapeutic delivery platform adheres to biological tissue, cell membranes, and biological gels. The bio-microbur therapeutic delivery platform includes a core and a plurality of nanoneedles secured to the core and extending outwardly therefrom, adapted for carrying and delivering a therapeutic agent. The treating agent may be an SSRI, such as fluoxetine.
