Pirfenidone Delivery by Blow‐Molded PCL Nanofiber Mat to Reduce Collagen Synthesis by Fibroblasts
ABSTRACT Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) during glaucoma is sometimes mitigated by insertion of glaucoma drainage devices (GDD). Excessive fibrosis around GDD plates may confine drainage and requiring revision surgeries in some patients. Pirfenidone (PFD) is an FDA approved drug to treat lung fibrosis, and it may be effective in limiting capsule ...
