Mucoadhesion is an extremely important field of adhesion science and the comprehensive
understanding and modulation of mucoadhesion can lead to lifesaving materials and …

Coating the surface of nanoparticles with polyethylene glycol (PEG), or “PEGylation”, is a
commonly used approach for improving the efficiency of drug and gene delivery to target …

The viscoelastic mucus secretions coating exposed organs such as the lung airways and the
female reproductive tract can trap and quickly eliminate not only foreign pathogens and …

Achieving sustained drug delivery to mucosal surfaces is a major challenge due to the
presence of the protective mucus layer that serves to trap and rapidly remove foreign …

The primary goal of nanomedicine is to improve clinical outcomes. To this end, targeted
nanoparticles are engineered to reduce non-productive distribution while improving …

The presence of a mucus layer that covers the surface of a variety of organs has been
capitalized to develop mucoadhesive dosage forms that remain in the administration site for …

Mucoadhesion, the state in which two materials, amongst which one is biological in nature,
adhere to each other for extended periods of time with the help of interfacial forces, provides …

This review focuses on two formulation approaches, mucoadhesion and thermogelling,
intended for prolonging residence time on vaginal mucosa of medical devices or drug …

On account of heterogeneity, intrinsic ability of drug resistance, and the potential to invade to
other parts of the body (malignancy), the development of a rational anticancer regimen is …

Mucus is a complex viscoelastic gel and acts as a barrier covering much of the soft tissue in
the human body. High vascularization and accessibility have motivated drug delivery to …
