The present disclosure relates to microneedle devices and methods for treating a disease (for example, diabetes) using a degradable cross-linked gel for self-regulated delivery of a therapeutic agent (for example, insulin).

A hydrogel composition, a hydrogel biomedical material, a method for facilitating regeneration of a bone and a manufacturing method of a hydrogel composition are provided. The hydrogel composition includes a first deionized water, a gel powder, a transglutaminase mixture and a hyaluronic acid powder. The gel powder includes gelatin and alginic acid. The first deionized water, the gel powder, the transglutaminase mixture and the hyaluronic acid powder are evenly mixed. Based on the hydrogel composition being 100 wt %, the first deionized water is 95 wt % to 98.46 wt %, the gel powder is 1 wt % to 3 wt %, the transglutaminase mixture is 0.04 wt % to 0.15 wt %, and the hyaluronic acid powder is 0.5 wt % to 1.5 wt %.

A composition for topical dermatological delivery of a medicinal or cosmeceutical or cosmetic active including a functional co-enhancer delivery system comprises a primary active agent in combination with an ancillary user adherence-improving skin barrier restoring system comprising nicotinamide and polyhydroxy acid. The composition generally comprises a water-miscible solvent and C.sub.12 or C.sub.14 fatty acids or C.sub.14 alcohol in combination with a hydrocarbyl methyl siloxane, other volatile silicones and a blend of silicone elastomers.
