Impaired Cytoprotective Mechanisms in Eyes with Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome/Glaucoma
30 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Evidence suggests that chronically increased stress conditions in the anterior eye segment constitute major mechanisms involved in the pathobiology of pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome. The expression of stress-related genes in eyes from patients with and without PEX syndrome/glaucoma was investigated to determine whether PEX syndrome is associated with an altered cellular stress response. METHODS: cDNA...
