Fundamental Biomaterial Considerations in the Development of a 3D Model Representative of Primary Open Angle Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness globally, with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) being the most common subset. Raised intraocular pressure is an important risk factor for POAG and is caused by a reduction in aqueous humour (AqH) outflow due to dysfunctional cellular and matrix...
