Photoresponsive PEG-Anthracene Grafted Hyaluronan as a Controlled-Delivery Biomaterial
Abstract
Ophthalmic drug delivery to the posterior segment of the eye could benefit from a responsive controlled drug delivery system with light or laser inducible changes. For example, the delivery of age-related macular degeneration drugs requires invasive monthly injections making long-term photoresponsive drug delivery a desirable option. The feasibility of this may be facilitated by both the transparency of the eye and the advanced technology in …
