Corneal Decellularization: A Method of Recycling Unsuitable Donor Tissue for Clinical Translation?

abstract：PURPOSE:The mechanism by which prostaglandin(PG)F2 alpha increases uveoscleral outflow and lowers intraocular pressure in primates is not known. In cultured human ciliary muscle cells, PGF2 alpha induces the expression of the protooncogene c-fos which is known to induce the transcription of genes such as matrix metallo...
