Article Synopsis
- Oral mucositis (OM) is a serious side effect of cancer treatment, and existing management techniques offer limited healing.
- A new in situ gel-forming oil (LGF) has been developed to provide better treatment, featuring good adhesion and wetting properties on oral tissues, which helps it stay in place.
- The oil contains α-lipoic acid, which gradually releases to reduce oxidative stress, promotes healing in animal studies, and reduces harmful inflammation associated with OM.
Montmorillonite (MMT), a layered aluminosilicate, has a mucosal nutrient effect and restores the gut barriers integrity. However, orally administrating MMT is not effective to combat the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and alleviate the acute inflammatory relapse for colitis patients. Herein, polydopamine-doped montmorillonite micro-sheets (PDA/MMT) have been developed as a therapeutic platform for colitis treatment.
