Abstract excerpt
Elastodysplasia and elastodystrophy are two known manifestations in the conjunctival, ie, pinguecular, part of pterygia. But the mechanisms are still not understood. The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanism of enhanced elastin gene expression in fibroblasts from the pinguecular part of pterygia, which is related to abnormal elastic fiber expression in the pinguecular part of pterygia. Elastin in...
