Mucoadhesive Drug Delivery Systems
TL;DR: The factors that affect the bioadhesion power of a polymer, the methods that permit the evaluation of a bioadhesive system and the methods for surface characterization of biomaterials are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of enterocytes in the intestinal barrier function and antigen uptake.
TL;DR: The intestinal epithelium is a critical interface between the organism and its environment, and the properties of the epithelial barrier and the outcome of the immune response to luminal antigens can be changed.
