Psoriasis is a gene and immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease without any improvement and its treatment is completely dependent on symptom control. Presently, it is affecting millions of people worldwide. Hypodermic needles, topical creams, along with transdermal patches have been more frequently used for transdermal administration of medications. Because of the skin layer, Stratum corneum which gives protection towards the drug and/or foreign particles and only some molecules are allowed to access the target, so the effectiveness of most of the transdermal delivery systems is reduced. A modern method of a delivery system termed as ‘microneedles’ enhances the transport of the medication directly into the skin by bypassing the skin barrier layer solve different problems concerning the conventional transdermal delivery systems. The purpose of this review is to explore about MNs used as a transdermal drug delivery system for treating psoriasis. Owing to the range of benefits offered, such as minimal harm, painlessness, comfort, and increased patient compliance, the MNs approach is considered to be far safer in comparison to conventional transdermal delivery systems. The word MNs have inclined much attention by researchers in recent times and the MNs technology is transiently growing. MNs are categorized by scholars into four main types: dissolving microneedles (DMNs), coated microneedles (CMNs), solid microneedles (SMNs), and hollow microneedles (HMNs). As per their exceptional features like shape and usage, each type of MNs possesses distinct advantages. By reviewing the literature, characteristics and geometry of MNs, mechanism of MNs, and commonly used drugs for the microneedle's fabrication were considered. The polymers and methods used for preparing MNs and applications of microneedle technology with prime focus on psoriasis therapy are explained. Evaluation parameters of MNs such as characteristics, dimensional, mechanical, in vitro, and in vivo evaluations, along with the patents filed and marketed products of MNs are reviewed and included in this article. This piece of writing is therefore intended to include a written description of the advancements of the use of MNs in effective psoriasis treatment.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a complication which occurs due to diabetes mellitus leading to loss of vision and hindering the quality of patient life by damaging the layer of retina at the posterior segment of the eye. According to the survey around 285 million peoples are suffering from visual loss out of these 65% of people are more than 50 years old and 82% of blind patients are more than 50 years old. The diseases that occur in the posterior segment of the eye like, cytomegalovirus retinitis, posterior uveitis, age related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy needs a novel delivery system that can improve the concentration of drugs that reaches posterior segment of the eye. The development of new drug delivery system gained more importance in the field of research in which nanotechnology is the most considered approach. The nanotechnology-based systems such as nanoparticles, nanoliposomes, niosomes, nanomicelles, nanoemulsions, nanogels, cyclodextrins, dendrimers, and quantum dots are developed as a new formulation for drug delivery. The rationale behind the nanoparticle systems is its ability to formulate a sustained, controlled release dosage form, painless, safe, non-invasive system to overcome the major barriers in the treatment of DR. Based on the nanoparticles, some approaches are exploited for more effective conveyance of drug toward the posterior segment. Thus, these advanced delivery systems progress the therapeutic efficacy of the drug and patient’s obedience and life quality. In this review, the new therapeutic treatments and their managements were discussed and methods of drug delivery to reach the posterior segment of eye.

- Abstract
The clinical utility of raloxifene (RLX), a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), has been compromised by severe side effects and unfavorable drug properties. To address these, a transferrin (Tf) conjugated graphene oxide nanoribbon (GONR) platform was tried for RLX. The stability of GONRs in biological media was improved by surface modification with 1, 2-Distearoyl-sn-glycero-3 phosphoethanolamine-Poly (ethylene glycol) (DSPE-PEG). The Tf molecule was covalently attached to DSPE-PEG (DPT) using EDC-NHS chemistry. The surface of GONR was then modified with DSPE-PEG (DP) or DPT and loaded with RLX (GDP-RLX and GDPT-RLX). The final formulations were characterized for drug loading and stability. The anticancer activities of pure RLX, GDP-RLX, and GDPT-RLX were evaluated and compared in all the in vitro and in vivo studies. In vitro cell line studies showed that GDPT-RLX have significantly high cytotoxicity, cellular uptake, apoptosis induction, G2/M phase arrest, anti-migration properties, and apoptotic protein expression, followed by GDP-RLX and RLX. Pharmacokinetics and tumor biodistribution were also found to be excellent with GDPT-RLX. The in vivo tumor therapy and tumor evaluation outcomes were also consistent with the in vitro data. The Tf conjugated GDPT-RLX represents a promising approach for targeted and sustained delivery of RLX with enhanced therapeutic efficacy., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare the following financial interests/personal relationships which may be considered as potential competing interests: H.V.
