| abstract |
A composition comprising a bioresponsive (e.g., reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive), antibiotic- and/or absorbent-loaded polymeric network is described. In some cases, the composition can release the antibiotic loaded therein in response to ROS or another stimulus related to inflammation. Microneedles, microneedle arrays, and skin patches comprising the composition are also described, as well as methods of treating acne or other inflammatory/infectious skin conditions. |
