Article Synopsis
- - Chronic diseases like cataracts are increasing due to longer life expectancies and medical advances that manage rather than cure conditions, suggesting a need for new therapeutic interventions targeting the underlying causes.
- - Cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) show promise for non-surgical cataract treatment due to their antioxidant properties, but their stability in biological environments is a challenge.
- - A new method has been developed to synthesize stable nanoceria, coated with ethylene glycol, which prevents toxicity to human lens epithelial cells and protects against oxidative stress, indicating potential for broader applications in chronic disease treatment.
