Nanostructure-mediated transport of biologics across epithelial tissue: enhancing permeability via nanotopography.

Herein, we demonstrate that nanotopographical cues can be utilized to enable biologics >66 kDa to be transported across epithelial monolayers. When placed in contact with epithelial monolayers, nanostructured thin films loosen the epithelial barrier and allow for significantly increased transport of FITC-albumin, FITC-IgG, and a model therapeutic, etanercept. Our work highlights the potential to use drug delivery systems which incorporate nanotopography to increase the transport of biologics across epithelial tissue.
