Distinct gene subsets in pterygia formation and recurrence: dissecting complex biological phenomenon using genome wide expression data
10 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Pterygium is a common ocular surface disease characterized by fibrovascular invasion of the cornea and is sight-threatening due to astigmatism, tear film disturbance, or occlusion of the visual axis. However, the mechanisms for formation and post-surgical recurrence of pterygium are not understood, and a valid animal model does not exist. Here, we investigated the possible mechanisms of pterygium...
