Mechanical Strain Regulates Myofibroblast Differentiation of Human Scleral Fibroblasts by YAP
30 Sept 2021
Abstract excerpt
Scleral extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling is thought to play a critical role in the pathogenesis of glaucoma. Mechanical strain induced by elevated intraocular pressure can promote myofibroblast differentiation of fibroblasts and result in scleral ECM remodeling; however, the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. Yes-associated protein (YAP) is a mechanosensory protein and the key downstream...
