- This paper demonstrated an innovative method for producing nanoparticles with anti-oxidant properties that are stable in physiological solutions and have low toxicity. The significance of this paper is that it opens the possibility of using nanoparticles for the treatment of chronic and age-related diseases in the eye which are highly cost-effective. The results of this paper led to a new collaboration with Professor Wei Chen (The University of Texas, Arlington).
