Schmerzloses Hautpflaster bietet neue Möglichkeit zur Überwachung der Immungesundheit: „Mikronadelpflaster untersucht wichtige Immunzellen, die bei routinemäßigen Blutentnahmen und Biopsien oft übersehen werden.“ »

>Traditionally, studying some of the most important immune cells in the body requires a skin biopsy or blood draws. Because many of these cells live and respond in tissues like the skin, accessing them has meant invasive procedures. We’ve shown we can capture them painlessly and noninvasively instead. This is especially important in sensitive or visible areas like the face or neck, where people often don’t want biopsies because of scarring, as well as for older adults, frail patients, and very young children or infants.
