Advancing Biotherapeutic Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis Using Lipid Mesophases: Formulation Design and Preclinical Validation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Lipid mesophases provide a versatile platform for colon‐targeted delivery of biotherapeutics, protecting them from degradation while enhancing mucoadhesion and enabling localized, controlled release to the inflamed mucosa after oral or rectal administration. In a DSS‐induced colitis model, this strategy reduced disease activity, inflammatory biomarkers,
