Microtubule disruption leads to cellular contraction in human trabecular meshwork cells.

abstract：PURPOSE:To determine the mechanism by which basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) exerts its neuroprotective effects on degenerating or injured photoreceptors. METHODS:Confocal immunofluorescence microscopy was used to identify sites of bFGF and FGF receptor 1 (FGFR1) expression after focal injury or experimental reti...
