Mucosal Adhesion

Mucosal adhesion refers to how certain substances, such as medications or probiotics, attach to the mucous membranes lining our body cavities (like the gut, mouth, or respiratory tract). This adhesion can enhance the effectiveness of treatments by ensuring that the intended substance stays in contact with the mucosal surface longer, improving absorption or protective effects. This is particularly important in gastrointestinal health, where adhering to the gut lining can help manage conditions like infections or inflammation. Overall, mucosal adhesion plays a vital role in optimizing various therapies and promoting better health outcomes.
