Characterization of TPH NCs, CH NCs and TPH/CH MN. (A) DLS analysis of TKPF/pPUMA and TPH NCs. (B) Morphology of TPH NCs capture by TEM. Scale bar, 100 nm. (C) Particle size of CH NCs. (D) Morphology of CH NCs capture by TEM. Scale bar, 100 nm. (E) Size and PDI of TPH NCs with different ratios of HSA and TKPF. Data represent mean ± SD (n = 3 independent samples). (F) Agarose gel electrophoresis of TKPF/pPUMA at various TKPF/pPUMA weight ratios and TPH NCs. (G) UV–vis absorbance spectra of Cel (0.1 mg/mL), HSA (0.5 mg/mL), and CH NCs. (H) In vitro release profile of Cel from CH NCs. (I) SEM image of TPH/CH MN. Scale bar, 100 μm. Data represent mean ± SD (n = 3). (J) Mechanical strength characterization of the HA-fabricated MN and TPH/CH loaded HA MN patch. (K) Fluorescence images of MN containing YoYo-1 labeled TPH NCs and DiR-labeled HSA NCs. Scale bar, 200 μm.
