Unraveling the mechanisms of nanoparticle transport across the intestinal barrier is essential for designing more efficient nanoparticles for oral administration. The physicochemical parameters of the nanoparticles (e.g., size, surface charge, chemical composition) dictate nanoparticle fate across the intestinal barrier. This review aims to address the most important findings regarding polymeric and lipidic nanoparticle transport across the intestinal barrier, including the evaluation of critical physicochemical parameters of nanoparticles that affect nanocarrier interactions with the intestinal barrier.

Approximately 30 percent of a four-year professional pharmacy curriculum must be devoted to experiential education. Introductory pharmacy practice experiences (IPPEs) are practice experiences offered in various practice settings during the early sequencing of the curriculum for purposes of providing transitional experiential activities and directed exposure to pharmaceutical care.
