Some skin conditions may be due to genetic and lifestyle factors and immune-mediated factors. The current skin disease treatment can include oral medication, topical cream, or ointments. Nanotechnology is revolutionizing the drug delivery systems, increasing the time life of active therapeutic compounds and improving the treatment efficiency. This work hypothesizes that varying the surface properties of chitosan nanoparticles (Ch-NPs) can modulate their diffusion through dermal tissue. Thus, Ch-NPs were synthesized, and their surface was modified with polyethylene glycol, oxalic acid, and linoleic acid for transdermal therapy. The different Ch-NPs were labeled with a fluorophore, and the dermal diffusion was measured on human skin by histological preparations and fluorescent microscopy. The surface properties of nanoparticles were shown to play an essential role in skin diffusion rate. Surface modification with a lipophilic moiety such as linoleic fatty acid showed a diffusion rate of 7.23 mm<sup>2</sup>/h in human full-thickness abdominal flap, which is 2.7 times faster nanoparticle diffusion through dermal tissue when compared with the unmodified Ch-NPs (2.92 mm<sup>2</sup>/h). The positive (zeta potential +27.5 mV) or negative (zeta potential −2.2 mV) surface charge does not affect the chitosan nanoparticle diffusion. Polyethylene glycol surface modification slightly improved the nanoparticle diffusion rate (3.63 mm<sup>2</sup>/h).

Only a few studies have utilized these components to fabricate a three-component porous osteogenic scaffold. The aim of this study was to comprehensively assess the mechanical and biocompatibility of the nanocomposite which synthesized by 3D printing method. For this purpose, the Cup powder was initially synthesized through sol–gel process and its confirmation was proved using techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Then, three CMC/Z scaffolds were made with different Cup contents: group A (0 wt.% Cup), group B (2.5 wt.% Cup) and group C (5 wt.% Cup). The scaffolds were well-ordered microporous with a high porosity and pore connectivity, as observed by morphological analysis by SEM. Additionally, the pore size of group B was more homogeneous than that of groups A and C. There were no significance differences in physicochemical characterization among the three groups. Mechanical properties analysis showed that values of compression modulus are significantly increased with addition of 2.5% Cup nanoparticles into CMCS/zein matrix, from 1.2 to 9.6 MPa. The incorporation of Cup nanoparticles into CMCS along with zein can provide a suitable substrate for the growth of osteoblast cells after implantation, as indicated by the results of in vitro degradation.

These delivery systems improve drug solubility, loading capacity, bioavailability, stability, and release rate and can provide targeted delivery. They have been employed in diverse applications, from treating cancer to enhancing oral drug delivery, reducing the toxicity of specific drugs, and offering controlled drug release.
