NRF2 Deficiency Disrupts Mitochondrial Homeostasis via NDUFS7 in Trabecular Meshwork
The trabecular meshwork (TM) plays a pivotal role in maintaining intraocular pressure (IOP) by regulating aqueous humor outflow. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) was identified as a key transcriptional controller of TM redox balance and
