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.

Mastication Evaluation With Unsupervised Learning: Using an Inertial Sensor-Based System

IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine, 2018
There is a direct relationship between the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders of the temporomandibular joint and orofacial disorders. A well-elaborated analysis of the jaw movements provides relevant information for healthcare professionals to ...

Functional Connectivity Between the Trigeminal Main Sensory Nucleus and the Trigeminal Motor Nucleus

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020
The present study shows new evidence of functional connectivity between the trigeminal main sensory (NVsnpr) and motor (NVmt) nuclei in rats and mice. NVsnpr neurons projecting to NVmt are most highly concentrated in its dorsal half.

Controlled Release of Human Dental Pulp Stem Cell‐Derived Exosomes from Hydrogels Attenuates Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthritis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Exosomes can reduce tissue damage in temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA), but rapid clearance limits their efficacy. This study encapsulates exosomes in hyaluronic acid hydrogels for controlled release. In a rat model, hydrogel‐encapsulated exosomes outperform free exosomes in preserving bone integrity and reducing tissue destruction ...

Comparison of Child and Adult Mastication of a Sticky Processed Cream Cheese and Simulation with a Masticator

Foods
An advantage of masticators is the calibration and possible standardization of intra- and inter-individual mastication variability. However, mastication of soft, sticky and melting products, such as processed cream cheeses, is challenging to reproduce ...

Characterization of the Temporomandibular Joint of Southern Sea Otters (Enhydra lutris nereis). [PDF]

, 2015
The structure-function relationship of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) of southern sea otter has largely not been described. This study aims to describe the histological, biochemical, and biomechanical features of the TMJ disk in the southern sea otter.

Exceptional Thermal Conductivity in Printed Dielectrics through Compositional and Microstructural Design

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A multi‐generational compositional design creates a printable low‐loss dielectric composite that achieves over 16 W m−1 K−1. This breakthrough is enabled by thermal post‐processing, which promotes templated crystallization in a polymer matrix from surface‐modified particles, creating a “hetero‐percolated network.” The resulting material is three ...

Enhanced Deformability Through Distributed Buckling in Stiff Quasicrystalline Architected Materials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Quasi‐periodic metamaterials combine stiffness and large‐strain deformability, overcoming limitations of traditional stretching‐dominated periodic designs that are prone to global buckling instabilities and catastrophic layer collapses. By leveraging non‐uniform force chains, they achieve high isotropic stiffness, stable deformation, and remarkable ...

Molecular Mastication Mechanics [PDF]

Structure, 2005
Computational prediction of global protein motion by Yang and Bahar (2005) (in this issue of Structure) suggests that enzymatic active sites tend to be placed near the hinges of the “jaws” of enzyme structures.
