Intraoral Drug Delivery: Bridging the Gap Between Academic Research and Industrial Innovations
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.

This study reveals that our self‐developed xanthine derivative, KMUP‐3, suppresses osteoclastogenesis, inflammation, and pyroptosis by inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome. It also alleviates periodontal bone loss in periodontitis rats, highlighting its potential as a novel therapeutic option for periodontitis.

Progress and Application of Multifunctional Hydrogel in Radioactive Skin Injury
This review examines healing challenges in radiation‐wound injuries, where ionizing radiation impairs immune and tissue repair processes. Hydrogels, with their biocompatibility, antimicrobial properties, and drug delivery capabilities, present a transformative solution. It compares hydrogel efficacy in radiation‐induced versus common wounds, highlights

Abstract Aim H+ facilitates metabolic blood flow regulation while negatively impacting cardiac contractility. Cardiovascular consequences of conjugate bases accumulating alongside H+ remain unclear. Here, we evaluate the cardiovascular effects of nine prominent carboxylates—particularly lactate, 3‐hydroxybutyrate, and butyrate—linked to metabolic and ...
