Abstract:Purpose: To evaluate the intravitreal injection of PLGA/VitE non‐loaded microspheres as a potential platform to deliver neuroprotective active compounds in a chronic glaucoma animal model. In this model, a gradual increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) is observed due to physical and pharmacological damage to the trabecular meshwork by the intracameral injection of fibronectin‐loaded PLGA microspheres.
Methods: Microspheres (Ms) employed to create the animal model were made by a double water‐in‐oil‐in‐water em… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
