Abstract excerpt
Purpose. Glaucoma is a leading cause worldwide of blindness and visual impairment. Transforming growth factor-beta2 (TGFbeta2) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) based on elevated levels in glaucomatous aqueous humor and its ability to induce extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling in the trabecular meshwork (TM). The goal of this study was to generate a rodent model of...
