29 Nov 2023
Abstract excerpt
Thinning of the sclera happens in myopia eyes owing to extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, but the initiators of the ECM remodeling in myopia are mainly unknown. The matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinase (TIMPs) regulate the homeostasis of the ECM. However, genetic studies of the MMPs and TIMPs in the occurrence of myopia are poor and limited. This study...
