Bay Biosciences provides high quality, clinical grade bio-samples, sera (serum), plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) biofluid specimens from patients diagnosed with Glaucoma.
The sera (serum), plasma and PBMC biofluid specimens are processed from Glaucoma patient’s peripheral whole-blood using customized collection and processing protocols.
The Glaucoma matched biofluid samples are collected from unique patients diagnosed with Glaucoma and are provided to a valued pharmaceutical customer for research, diagnostics, discovery and drug development.
Detailed clinical data, Glaucoma patient’s history, symptoms, complete blood count (CBC), serology, eye exams, histopathology, elevated biomarker data associated with Glaucoma specimens is provided to a valued customer for research, development and drug discovery.
The Glaucoma sera (serum), plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) biofluids are processed from patients peripheral whole-blood using customized collection and processing. protocols.
Glaucoma Overview
Glaucoma is a disease that damages your eye’s optic nerve. It usually occurs when fluid builds up in the front part of the eye. That excess fluid increases the pressure in the eye, damaging the optic nerve. It gets worse over time and tends to run in families.
The increased pressure in the eye, called intraocular pressure, can damage the optic nerve, which sends images to the brain. If the damage worsens, glaucoma can cause permanent vision loss or even total blindness within a few years.
Causes of Glaucoma
The eyes continuously makes a transparent water like fluid inside the eyes, similar to plasma, called aqueous humor, which It is secreted from the ciliary body, a structure supporting the lens of the eyeball.
Aqueous humor usually flows out of the eyes through a mesh-like channel. If this channel gets blocked, or the eye is producing too much fluid, the liquid builds up. The pressure inside the eye rises, damaging the optic nerve.
Other less common causes of glaucoma include a blunt or chemical injury to the eye, severe eye infection, blocked blood vessels inside the eye, and inflammatory conditions. Sometimes eye surgery to correct another condition can also cause glaucoma. This usually affects both eyes, but it may be worse in one eye than the other.
Types of Glaucoma
Following are the are two main types of Glaucoma:
Following are the other less common types of glaucoma:
- Secondary glaucoma: This is when another disease, like cataracts or diabetes, causes added pressure in the eye.
- Normal-tension glaucoma: This is when you have blind spots in your vision or your optic nerve is damaged even though your eye pressure is within the average range.
- Pigmentary glaucoma: With this form, tiny bits of pigment from the iris, the colored part of the eye, get into the fluid inside the eye and clog the drainage canals.
Signs and Symptoms of Glaucoma
Most patients with open-angle glaucoma don’t have symptoms. Usually the symptoms develop late in the disease, if they develop. The main sign is usually a loss of side, or peripheral, vision.
Symptoms of angle-closure glaucoma usually come on faster and are more obvious. Damage can happen quickly. Following are some of the signs and symptoms of angle-closure glaucoma:
- Eye pain
- Eye that looks hazy
- Redness in the eye
- Upset stomach or vomiting
- Seeing halos around lights
- Vision loss
Bay Biosciences is a global leader in providing researchers with high quality, clinical grade, fully characterized human tissue samples, bio-specimens and human bio-fluid collections.
We have samples available are cancer (tumor) tissue, cancer serum, cancer plasma cancer PBMC and human tissue samples from most other therapeutic areas and diseases.
Our company Bay Biosciences maintains and manages its own bio-repository, human tissue bank (biobank) consisting of thousands of diseased samples (specimens) and from normal healthy donors available in all formats and types.
Our biobank procures and stores fully consented, deidentified and institutional review boards (IRB) approved human tissue samples and matched controls.
All our human tissue collections, human specimens and human bio-fluids are provided with detailed samples associated patient’s clinical data.
This critical patient’s clinical data includes information relating to their past and current disease, treatment history, lifestyle choices, biomarkers and genetic information.
Patient’s data is extremely valuable for researchers and is used to help identify new effective treatments (drug discovery & development) in oncology, other therapeutic areas and diseases.
This clinical information is critical to demonstrate their impact, monitor the safety of medicines, testing & diagnostics, and generate new knowledge about the causes of disease and illness.
Bay Biosciences banks wide variety of human tissue samples and biological samples including cryogenically preserved at – 80°C.
Including fresh frozen tissue samples, tumor tissue samples, FFPE’s, tissue slides, with matching human bio-fluids, whole blood and blood derived products such as serum, plasma and PBMC’s.
Bay Biosciences is a global leader in collecting and providing human tissue samples according to the researchers specified requirements and customized, tailor-made collection protocols.
Please contact us anytime to discuss your special research projects and customized human tissue sample requirements.
Bay Biosciences provides human tissue samples (human specimens) from diseased and normal healthy donors which includes:
- Peripheral whole-blood,
- Amniotic fluid
- Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL)
