The trabecular meshwork (TM) is located in the anterior segment of the eye and is
responsible for regulating the outflow of aqueous humor. Increased resistance to aqueous …

Exfoliation syndrome (XFS) is an age-related disease in which abnormal fibrillar
extracellular material is produced and accumulates in many ocular tissues. Its ocular …

By using the highly sensitive and specific technique of enzyme-linked immunosorbent
assay, we investigated the presence and amount of transforming growth factor-β2 (TGF-β2) …

The trabecular meshwork regulates aqueous humour outflow from the anterior chamber of
the eye. It does this by establishing a tunable outflow resistance, defined by the interplay …

Our understanding of glaucoma has undergone dramatic changes in the past decade. The
ferment has derived from new epidemiologic information, improved diagnostic methods, and …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) of the trabecular meshwork (TM) is thought to be important in
regulating intraocular pressure (IOP) in both normal and glaucomatous eyes. IOP is …

Transforming growth factor-β2 (TGF-β2) is found in increasing amounts in aqueous humor
and reactive optic nerve astrocytes of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), a …

Changes in aqueous humor dynamics with age and in glaucoma have been studied for
several decades. More recently, techniques have been developed which confirm earlier …

Purpose.: To measure levels of various inflammatory cytokines in the aqueous humor of
patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), exfoliation glaucoma (EXG), and senile …

Glaucoma, the second leading cause of blindness, is characterized by changes in the optic
disc and visual field defects. The elevated intraocular pressure was considered the prime …
