Collecting and deactivating TGF-β1 hydrogel for anti-scarring therapy in post-glaucoma filtration surgery

Scar formation can lead to glaucoma filtration surgery (GFS) failure, wherein transforming growth factor (TGF)-β is the core regulator. To reducing scar formation, this paper presents our study on the design of hydrogels to deactivate TGF-β1. We hypothesized that excess TGF-β1 can be removed from aq...
