Stress Response of the Trabecular Meshwork [PDF]
Journal of Glaucoma, 2008 The trabecular meshwork (TM) is known to be subjected to different types of stress such as mechanical, oxidative, and phagocytic stress. Although short-term exposure to these stresses is expected to elicit adaptive responses, long-term exposure may lead to permanent alterations in the tissue physiology and contribute to the pathologic increase in ...

A large multi-ethnic genome-wide association study identifies novel genetic loci for intraocular pressure. [PDF]
, 2017 Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor for glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness. IOP heritability has been estimated to up to 67%, and to date only 11 IOP loci have been reported, accounting for 1.5% of IOP variability.

Pharmacogenetics of ophthalmic topical β-blockers [PDF]
, 2008 Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. The primary glaucoma risk factor is elevated intraocular pressure. Topical β-blockers are affordable and widely used to lower intraocular pressure.

Transplantation of iPSC-TM stimulates division of trabecular meshwork cells in human eyes
Scientific Reports, 2020 The trabecular meshwork’s (TM) physiological role is to maintain normal intraocular pressure by regulating aqueous humor outflow. With age, and particularly in eyes with primary open angle glaucoma, the number of cells residing within the TM is markedly ...

Oxidative damage and autophagy in the human trabecular meshwork as related with ageing.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Autophagy is an intracellular lysosomal degradation process induced under stress conditions. Autophagy also plays a major role in ocular patho-physiology. Molecular aging does occur in the trabecular meshwork, the main regulator of aqueous humor outflow,

A tissue-engineered human trabecular meshwork hydrogel for advanced glaucoma disease modeling
bioRxiv, 2020 Purpose Abnormal human trabecular meshwork (HTM) cell function and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling contribute to HTM stiffening in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Most current cellular HTM model systems do not sufficiently replicate the complex

Association between Myopia, Biometry and Occludable Angle: The Jiangning Eye Study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Myopia subjects usually have long axial lengths and are predisposed to deep anterior chamber depths and open angles. Jiangning eye study is a randomized, population based study in Shanghai to determine whether myopia has an effect on the prevalence of ...

Rare diseases leading to childhood Glaucoma. epidemiology, pathophysiogenesis, and management [PDF]
, 2015 Noteworthy heterogeneity exists in the rare diseases associated with childhood glaucoma. Primary congenital glaucoma is mostly sporadic; however, 10% to 40% of cases are familial. CYP1B1 gene mutations seem to account for 87% of familial cases and 27% of

Adipose‐derived stem cells integrate into trabecular meshwork with glaucoma treatment potential
The FASEB Journal, 2020 The trabecular meshwork (TM) is an ocular tissue that maintains intraocular pressure (IOP) within a physiologic range. Glaucoma patients have reduced TM cellularity and, frequently, elevated IOP.
