Published in 2023 at "Antioxidants"

DOI: 10.3390/antiox12020405

Abstract: Oxidative stress (OS) on tissues is a major pathological insult leading to elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Aqueous humor (AH) produced by the non-pigmentary ciliary epithelium (NPCE) drains out via the… read more here.

Published in 2023 at "International Journal of Molecular Sciences"

DOI: 10.3390/ijms24021673

Abstract: Previously, we reported a mechanosensitive ion channel, TRPV4, along with functional connexin hemichannels on the basolateral surface of the ocular nonpigmented ciliary epithelium (NPE). In the lens, TRPV4-mediated hemichannel opening is part of a feedback… read more here.

Published in 2021 at "Pharmaceuticals"

DOI: 10.3390/ph14090858

Abstract: Primary open-angle glaucoma is established by the disruption of trabecular meshwork (TM) function. The disruption leads to increased resistance to the aqueous humor (AH), generated by the non-pigmented ciliary epithelium (NPCE). Extracellular vesicles (EVs) participate… read more here.
