Editorial summary

An expandable ingestible capsule was developed and assessed as an in vitro proof of concept for occupying gastric volume. Candidate core materials, outer membranes and degradable ligatures were compared. The work evaluates expansion and release mechanisms before any demonstration of weight-loss effectiveness in humans.
