Protein kinase CK2 in TGFβ-induced lens epithelial-mesenchymal transition
Cataract is a leading cause of reversible blindness. Secondary cataract is the result of migration, proliferation, and epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) of lens epithelial cells (LECs), induced by transforming growth factor β (TGFβ).
