Individual molecular response to elevated intraocular pressure in perfused postmortem human eyes

Abstract excerpt

Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is the major risk factor for glaucoma. In the clinic, the response to elevated pressure and thus the risk for development of glaucoma differs among individuals. We took advantage of our ability to subject postmortem human eyes from the same individual to physiological and elevated pressure in a perfused outflow model and compared individual patterns of gene expression under...
