Intravitreal transforming growth factor-beta 2 decreases cellular infiltration in endotoxin-induced ocular inflammation in rabbits.

abstract：:The effects of repeated exposures to UV-A (335 nm) and UV-B (305 nm) radiation on the crystalline lens were studied by treating cultured bovine lenses daily or weekly. The effects of irradiation on lens optical quality were monitored using an automated scanning laser system that records both relative transmittance and...
