The barrier role of the vitreoretinal interface toward intravitreal injected proteins, viruses and siRNA nanoparticles: ex vivo bovine screening models and siRNA nanoparticle design. Ghent University
An intravitreal injection is a way of delivering medications to the retina in the back of the eye.
Anti-VEGF medications, for example, are injected monthly into the vitreous cavity after which they
diffuse to the retina which is separated from the vitreous with a very thin but difficult to penetrate
