A recent study conducted at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, focused on the mechanical damage caused to porcine skin during drug delivery. The researchers found that skin from the belly region was stiffer compared to the breast region, but there were no significant differences in properties based on anatomical location. The study also used imaging techniques to examine the collagen structure of the skin and developed a micro-mechanics modeling framework to understand the elastic and damage progression. The findings of this research can potentially aid in the design of devices for subcutaneous drug delivery. The study was supported by Eli Lilly and has been peer-reviewed.
