Technical pen-based printhead for high-precision microdosing of personalized therapies.

Drug delivery and translational research February 6, 2026 Paola Carou-Senra, Carlos Rial, Alex Richter et al.

A new liquid deposition method using a modified technical pen, integrated into a pharmaceutical printer, can produce oral films containing ultra-low doses of desmopressin, a hormone used for diabetes insipidus. The gravity-driven mechanism dispenses ink precisely without external thermal, pneumatic, or electrical inputs that might stress molecules. Films (2 × 4 cm) were made with therapeutically relevant doses (33–134 µg) by depositing up to four layers. The system achieved approximately 100% dose accuracy, with drug content strongly correlating with layer number. Films disintegrated rapidly and released the drug immediately, with no degradation over one month. Only 1 mL of ink can produce up to 238 single-layer films, making the approach precise, cost-effective, and promising for low-dose personalized medicine, including biologics.

Reconceptualizing Epistemology in Islamic Mysticism: A Critical Analysis of Knowledge Through Presence in Mehdi Ha’iri Yazdi's Thought

Interdisciplinary Journal of Social Science and Education December 16, 2025 Ulpah Maspupah, Abdul W. Basit

Mystical knowledge in Islamic thought can be understood as direct, non-representational awareness rather than mere subjective intuition, according to Mehdi Ha’iri Yazdi’s concept of Knowledge through Presence (al-‘ilm al-huduri). Yazdi’s epistemological framework bridges classical Islamic illuminationist philosophy (hikmah al-ishraq) and contemporary philosophical discourse by emphasizing the existential unity between the knower and the known. The analysis of his work, *The Principles of Epistemology in Islamic Philosophy*, shows that his approach integrates rational analysis, metaphysical realism, and spiritual experience, offering an alternative to Western dualistic epistemologies. This model reaffirms the legitimacy of mystical consciousness as a valid source of knowledge in contemporary Islamic philosophy.
