Glaucoma and cigarette smoking: a review of narrative reviews [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy associated with visual field changes for which high intra-ocular pressure is a major risk factor. Emerging research indicates that modifiable factors, among which the cigarette smoke, besides IOP may be ...

Hyaluronan synthase in trabecular meshwork cells [PDF]
British Journal of Ophthalmology, 2003 Hyaluronan is present in the trabecular meshwork where it is involved in the pathophysiology of aqueous outflow environment. In this study, the expression and regulation of hyaluronan synthase (HAS), which is the enzyme synthesising hyaluronan, in trabecular meshwork cells were investigated.Cultured bovine trabecular meshwork cells (BTMCs) were used ...

Toll-Like Receptor 4 Signaling in the Trabecular Meshwork
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Primary open-angle glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. With limited therapeutics targeting the pathogenesis at the trabecular meshwork (TM), there is a great need for identifying potential new targets.

Rho- Kinase Inhibitor Y-27632 Decreases the Thickness of Trabecular Meshwork in Juvenile Rats Mod-el Injected with Sodium Hyaluronate [PDF]
, 2018 Most glaucoma drugs lower the intraocular pressure (IOP) by decreasing the aqueous humor production and increasing the outflow through uveoscleral pathway. None of these drugs work mainly on increasing outflow through the trabecular pathway. Consequently,

A review of the role of ultrasound biomicroscopy in glaucoma associated with rare diseases of the anterior segment [PDF]
, 2016 Ultrasound biomicroscopy is a non-invasive imaging technique, which allows high-resolution evaluation of the anatomical features of the anterior segment of the eye regardless of optical media transparency.

Cytochrome P450 1B1: A Key Regulator of Ocular Iron Homeostasis and Oxidative Stress
Cells, 2022 Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1B1 belongs to the superfamily of heme-containing monooxygenases. Unlike other CYP enzymes, which are highly expressed in the liver, CYP1B1 is predominantly found in extrahepatic tissues, such as the brain, and ocular tissues ...
