Both acute and chronic wounds present significant therapeutic challenges, driving the demand for innovative and effective treatment modalities. The existing treatment options fail to address the challenges associated with conventional dosage forms, such as poor skin penetration and low bioavailability. Microneedle (MN) technology has emerged as a minimally invasive, highly efficient platform for localised drug delivery, offering the potential to accelerate and enhance tissue repair. Among the diverse materials investigated for MN fabrication, polysaccharide-based biodegradable polymers have attracted particular interest owing to their exceptional biocompatibility, biodegradability, and intrinsic biological activities. This review provides an in-depth analysis of natural polysaccharides (e.g., chitosan, alginate, hyaluronic acid) and synthetic polysaccharides (e.g., polylactic acid, polycaprolactone, PLGA) employed in MN-assisted wound healing. In this review, authors also highlighted the roles of polysaccharides in modulating key phases of the healing cascade, namely inflammation, proliferation, and remodelling, via critical signalling pathways such as NF-κB, PI3K/Akt, and TGF-β. These multifunctional properties of marine, plants, and animal-derived polysaccharides are also explored, particularly their antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and pro-angiogenic effects when incorporated into MN systems. By enabling targeted, sustained, and responsive therapeutic delivery, polysaccharide-based MNs represent a transformative strategy for advanced wound care. The future research should focus on scalable manufacturing techniques, the integration of stimuli-responsive elements, and robust clinical evaluation to unlock the full potential of these polysaccharide-mediated microneedles as next-generation wound healing platforms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14187,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pharmaceutics","volume":"685 ","pages":"Article 126256"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145244528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While protein-coding genes have taken center stage for decades, attention has significantly shifted toward the silent majority of the human genome, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Aberrant ncRNA expression is closely linked to critical processes involved in cancer, including cell growth, proliferation, invasion, and metastasis. As such, ncRNAs represent promising targets for cancer therapy and are critical molecular markers for cancer prediction and prognosis, providing guidance for clinical decision-making. Small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs), including microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs), small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), tRNA-derived small RNAs (tRNAs), and PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), arerdysregulatedarious cancers. These molecules can influence cancer progression through various mechanisms, including transcriptional and post-transcriptional modifications, epigenetics, and signal transduction pathways. Therefore, these small molecules hold significant promise as cancer biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for cancer treatment. RNA technology offers promise as a therapeutic intervention for targeted gene silencing in cancer, and several RNA-based formulations are being evaluated in clinical trials for this purpose. Therefore, understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms of cancer development, identifying specific therapeutic targets, and developing effective drug delivery systems are essential. A deeper understanding of these mechanisms is also significant for the future development of RNA-targeted therapies. Carrier systems that facilitate the effective and safe delivery of small noncoding RNA-based therapeutics are crucial for successful clinical applications. RNA therapeutics must be delivered to the relevant organ and cell type and efficiently across the cell membrane to perform their intracellular functions. However, achieving therapeutic success requires a comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms driving cancer, precise identification of therapeutic targets, and development of efficient and safe delivery systems for these agents.</div><div>This review examines the biogenesis of sncRNAs, their mechanisms of action, nanoformulation strategies, and studies focusing on sncRNA delivery systems.
