Poly(methacrylic acid)
Poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) is a pH/ionic strength-responsive swelling agent and polycation complexing agent. Poly(methacrylic acid) undergoes reversible swelling and size changes through carboxylic acid ionization and sodium ion charge shielding. As a weak polyacid, Poly(methacrylic acid) forms cross-linked hydrogels and hollow capsules for the entrapment and storage of macromolecules. Poly(methacrylic acid) forms electrostatic complexes with polycations to reduce capsule permeability, and high-salt conditions disrupt such complexes to enable macromolecule release.

Transepithelial/transendothelial electrical resistance assay
TEER measures electrical resistance across epithelial or endothelial monolayers cultured on permeable supports, and the readout reflects ionic conductance through the cell barrier, especially the paracellular pathway regulated by junctional integrity. TEER can be measured without destroying the monolayer and is commonly used before or during transport, permeability, barrier-disruption, and barrier-maturation experiments. TEER values are influenced by biological maturation and technical conditions; reported factors include temperature, medium formulation, passage number, electrode geometry, membrane properties, and junctional length during early monolayer maturation. Therefore, TEER should be interpreted with blank-insert subtraction, area normalization, repeated readings, and, when possible, orthogonal barrier readouts such as FITC-dextran flux or tight-junction staining.
