Synthesis and characterization of a highly stable mucoadhesive gel for oral drug delivery
This study determined that the exosome-loaded mucoadhesive hydrogel is a promising alternative to traditional oral ulcer treatments. The synthesized hydrogel's viscoelastic and mucoadhesive behavior, along with its antimicrobial activity and biocompatible nature, suggest that it addresses the challenges in conventional oral ulcer treatment.
