Cathepsin S regulates renal fibrosis in mouse models of mild and severe hydronephrosis.

abstract：:Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness. Previous studies have indicated that the oxidative stress‑induced apoptosis of trabecular meshwork cells (TMCs) may serve a key role in the pathogenesis of glaucoma, and that micro RNA(miR)‑17‑5p may be involved in this process. However, the specific mechanisms requi...
