Nanomedicine for Eye Diseases
Nanomedicine Breakthrough for Eye Disease
As reported in 2012 in an article published in Biomaterials, Center for Nanomedicine members, Rangaramanujam Kannan, Jie Fu, Manoj Mishra and others have shown that a nanomedicine platform technology, called “dendrimers,” can be used to effectively deliver medicines to activated microglia--key players in many blinding ocular diseases, such as Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD).Learn more about dendrimers and our research for eye diseases.
