The trabecular meshwork is a key component of the key, found at the base of the cornea (the transparent...
DNA damage is related to a variety of degenerative diseases such as cancer, atherosclerosis and neurodegenerative diseases, depending on the tissue affected. Increasing evidence indicates that reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a key role in the pathogenesis of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), the...
There is growing evidence that reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a key role in the pathogenesis of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). The occurrence of oxidative DNA damage in trabecular meshwork (TM) has been demonstrated by measuring the increase of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine, the most abundant...
Michael Wiederholt says , "Research in this laboratory has demonstrated that trabecular meshwork has contractile properties, is actively involved in outflow regulation..." Below is an abstract of one of the studies on this topic he helped author. The regulation of trabecular meshwork and ciliary muscle...
