Importance: Some patients worldwide are asked to acquire an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agent from a pharmacy, store it, and then bring it to a physician for intravitreal injection (IVT). Anti-VEGF agents must be stored in the refrigerator to avoid bacterial contamination or denaturation. Some cases of severe intraocular inflammation have been reported following IVT of more recently approved anti-VEGF agents, which might be explained by thermal instability.

Ground-breaking awareness has been reached about the intricate and dynamic connection between developing tumors and the host immune system. Being a powerful arm of innate immunity and a functional bridge with adaptive immunity, the complement system (C) has also emerged as a pivotal player in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Its "double-edged sword" role in cancer can find an explanation in the controversial relationship between C capability to mediate tumor cell cytolysis or, conversely, to sustain chronic inflammation and tumor progression by enhancing cell invasion, angiogenesis, and metastasis to distant organs.

Hyaluronan-modified nanoceria for dry eye disease treatment.

J Colloid Interface Sci

December 2024

Eye Center, The Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, Zhejiang Provincial Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology, Zhejiang Provincial Clinical Research Center for Eye Diseases, Zhejiang Provincial Engineering Institute on Eye Diseases, Hangzhou 310009, China. Electronic address:

Dry eye disease (DED), a prevalent ocular disorder, affects nearly half the global population, bringing enormous health and economic burden. Currently, the predominant treatments for DED involve the administration of artificial tears, which is often hindered by continuous administration and constant reactive oxygen species (ROS) stimulus. Therefore, hyaluronan (HA)-modified cerium oxide (CeO) nanoparticles, HA-CeO, were developed to achieve simultaneous ROS scavenging and enhanced tear film stability.
