Quercetin, a natural compound, shows promising potential in wound healing by reducing fibrosis, limiting scar formation, and boosting fibroblast proliferation. However, its effectiveness is hindered by poor solubility, resulting in low bioavailability and necessitating high doses for therapeutic efficacy. This study presents a novel approach, fabricating quercetin-loaded microarray patches (MAPs) using widely employed solubility enhancement strategies. Fabricated MAPs exhibited favourable mechanical strength and could be inserted into excised porcine skin to a depth of 650 μm...
