Nanofiber‐based glaucoma drainage implant improves surgical outcomes by modulating fibroblast behavior

Nanofiber‐based glaucoma drainage implant improves surgical outcomes by modulating fibroblast behavior

Abstract Biomaterials are implanted in millions of individuals worldwide each year. Both naturally derived and synthetic biomaterials induce a foreign body reaction that often culminates in fibrotic encapsulation and reduced functional lifespan. In ophthalmology, glaucoma drainage implants (GDIs) ar...
