This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:
"Mucoadhesion is a powerful mode of drug delivery. Prolonged exposure to mucosal tissue allows for drug release over an extended period of time, improving both compliance with drug treatment and convenience of use among patients. Unfortunately, there is no standard method for evaluating the performance of different mucoadesive drug formulations. Now, there’s MUCO-DIS, developed by University of Huddersfield. MUCO-DIS is an AFM- and microfluidics-based system that simultaneously measures four core functional properties of mucoadhesive formulations at the nanoscale: mucoadhesion force, 3D surface topography, polymer dissolution, and drug release characteristics. Researchers at University of Huddersfield used this newly developed MUCO-DIS to evaluate the performance of metformin mucoadhesive formulation..."

This course focuses on the latest scientific developments and discoveries in the field of nanomechanics, the study of forces and motion on extremely tiny (10 m) areas of synthetic and biological materials and structures. At this level, mechanical properties are intimately related to chemistry, physics, and quantum mechanics. Most lectures will consist of a theoretical component that will then be compared to recent experimental data (case studies) in the literature. The course begins with a series of introductory lectures that describes the normal and lateral forces acting at the atomic scale. The following discussions include experimental techniques in high resolution force spectroscopy, atomistic aspects of adhesion, nanoindentation, molecular details of fracture, chemical force microscopy, elasticity of single macromolecular chains, intermolecular interactions in polymers, dynamic force spectroscopy, biomolecular bond strength measurements, and molecular motors.
