Intravenous treatment of choroidal neovascularization by photo-targeted nanoparticles
Current treatments of wet age-related macular degeneration require repeated injections of active drugs into the vitreous. Here Wang et al. develop nanoparticles that when injected intravenously can be targeted to the eye by irradiation with blue light, allowing local and enhanced drug release in the...

| Sumario: | Current treatments of wet age-related macular degeneration require repeated injections of active drugs into the vitreous. Here Wang et al. develop nanoparticles that when injected intravenously can be targeted to the eye by irradiation with blue light, allowing local and enhanced drug release in the back of the eye, and providing an alternative to current delivery strategies. |
