Intraoral Drug Delivery: Bridging the Gap Between Academic Research and Industrial Innovations
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Intraoral drug delivery offers a promising route for systemic and localized therapies, yet challenges such as enzymatic degradation, limited permeability, and microbial interactions hinder efficacy. This figure highlights innovative strategies—mucoadhesive materials, enzyme inhibitors, and permeation enhancers—to overcome these barriers.

Simultaneous tensile and shear measurement of the human cornea in vivo using S0- and A0-wave optical coherence elastography [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Understanding corneal stiffness is valuable for improving refractive surgery, detecting corneal abnormalities, and assessing intraocular pressure. However, accurately measuring the elastic properties, particularly the tensile and shear moduli that govern mechanical deformation, has been challenging.
