Abstract excerpt
Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EnMT) is a cell transformation process involved in both morphogenesis and pathogenesis. EnMT of corneal endothelial cells happens after endothelial injury and during ex vivo culture. Previous studies have shown that the transforming growth factor-β signaling pathway is involved in this transition. In this study, we found that rat corneal endothelial cells could spontaneously...
