Retention structures, systems and related methods are generally provided. Certain embodiments provide the stay structure to a subject (e.g., a patient) (e.g., orally) so that the stay structure is maintained at an internal location of the subject for a certain time (e.g., at least about 24 hours) <; / RTI >; The retention structure may in some cases be a retention structure. In some embodiments, the structures and systems described herein provide a high level of loading of the active material (e.g., therapeutic), high stability of the active material and / or structure in the acidic environment, And / or in physiological environment (e.g., intestinal environment), and / or in a biological environment (e.g., intestinal environment) until it is delivered to the desired internal cavity And one or more substances configured for rapid dissolution / degradation in response to a chemical irritant (e.g., ingestion of a solution that induces rapid dissolution / degradation). In certain embodiments, the structure is required to stay above the material that is configured for controlled release of therapeutic, diagnostic, and / or enhancing agents, but may be controlled to control the time at which the structure exits the stomach, And / or a structural material configured for adjustable dissolution / dissolution. For example, in certain embodiments, the retention structure comprises a first elastic element, a second element configured to release an active agent (e.g., a therapeutic agent), and optionally a linker. In some such embodiments, the linker may be disassembled and configured so that the retention structure is broken after a predetermined period of time and separated and released from the internal position of the object.
