recommendations! Published in 2020 at "Current Eye Research"

DOI: 10.1080/02713683.2020.1805471

Abstract: ABSTRACT Purpose To explore the effect of heat shock protein 47 (HSP 47) on collagen (types I, III, and V) metabolism in scleral fibroblasts. Methods Scleral fibroblasts with over- or low-expression of HSP 47 were… read more here.

DOI: 10.2298/abs180711048l

Abstract: Human fetal scleral fibroblasts (HFSFs) are components of the sclera and play important roles in its structure and function. In myopia, scleral remodeling reduces collagen fibers and the sclera begins to thin. NANOG is a… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ph16040556

Abstract: We identify the angiotensin II (AngII)-associated changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM) and the biomechanical properties of the sclera after systemic hypotension. Systemic hypotension was induced by administering oral hydrochlorothiazide. AngII receptor levels and ECM… read more here.
