Description
Yaxin Chen, Qingyun Yang, Jian Yang, and Jiquan Zhang review modular design for oral drug delivery in a 2026 article. A drug taken by mouth must cross many barriers, from the stomach as a whole down to single cells, and those barriers change when disease is present. Single-purpose carriers struggle to cross them all.
Modular design splits the job into standard parts that can be mixed and matched. Some parts steer the organ, some slip through mucus, some enter cells, and some react to local conditions. Using gut swelling and infection as examples, the review shows how stacked modules cross several layers at once. It closes with hurdles that remain before clinic use.
