Implantable biocomposite based radical oxigen species scavengers as a therapeutic strategy to manage age related macular degeneration

摘要

Taken together, these results suggest that the TiO_2 powders with the best ROS scavenging capacity are the 200°C and 600°C calcined powders, showing no toxic effect on cells at lower concentrations. The produced TiO_2 powders, being materials capable of ROS scavenging either of artificial ROS or ROS generated by inflammatory cells, present themselves as valuable tools in the design of new strategies for application in the treatment of AMD.
