Small interfering RNA microneedle patches versus silicone sheets in reducing postoperative scars: a randomized single-blinded intraindividually controlled clinical trial
There was a significantly greater reduction in the volume of postoperative scars on the side of the scar treated with microneedle patches compared with the side treated with silicone sheets. This demonstrates the use of transdermal gene-silencing technology in scar inhibition and that siRNA microneedle patches can be effective and safe in reducing scar tissue formation.
