Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.PDMS samples were covalently coated with mucin glycoproteins and then treated with either plasma activated water (PAW) or saline (PAS) as a means of disinfection. The samples could be successfully sterilized without compromising the structural integrity or functionality of those coatings.

The gut wall provides an effective barrier against nanoparticle uptake
Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2014 Background: The omnipresence of nanoparticles (NPs) in numerous goods has led to a constant risk of exposure and inadvertent uptake for humans. This situation calls for thorough investigation of the consequences of NP intake.

Mucosa‐Interfacing Capsule for In Situ Sensing the Elasticity of Biological Tissues
Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.A fundamental mechanism of palpating soft materials is reported to sense deep tissue elasticity in situ with minimal invasion using the interaction between the robot palpation unit and soft tissues. Both the robot locomotion and elasticity sensing functions are remotely controlled by external magnetic fields, while the sensing data are wirelessly ...
