Connexin 50-R205G Mutation Perturbs Lens Epithelial Cell Proliferation and Differentiation.

abstract：PURPOSE:This study describes the effects of the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) pathway on the tight junctional barrier of the corneal endothelium, which plays a critical role in maintaining the corneal stroma in an underhydrated, transparent state. METHODS:Subcultured bovine corneal endothelial cells grown on f...
