purpose. Current glaucoma research targets neuroprotective therapies for retinal ganglion
cells (RGCs) in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). The purpose of this study was to …

purpose. The ectodomain of CD44, the principal receptor for hyaluronic acid (HA), is shed
as a 32-kDa fragment—soluble CD44 (sCD44)—which is cytotoxic to trabecular meshwork (TM…

Three caribou Rangifer tarandus were hand-reared from birth till 3-years-of-age. The food
preferences of these animals was determined by allowing them to feed ad lib. (4 hours per …

Purpose To correlate aqueous humor soluble CD44 (sCD44) concentration, visual field loss,
and glaucoma risk factors in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients. Methods …

The Avalon Peninsula caribou (Rangifer tarandus) herd in Newfoundland increased from
720 animals in 1967 to 3,000 animals in 1979, a mean rate of increase of r = 0.12. The mean …

purpose. To challenge human trabecular meshwork (TM) cells using lactate to mimic cell
stress and observe the effects on cell viability, NF-κB, and membrane type 1 matrix …

We analyze a simple model appropriate for the description of the critical dynamics of isotropic
antiferromagnets in the ordered phase. We use renormalization-group methods and mode-…

A general scheme is presented for applying real-space renormalization-group methods to
dynamic critical phenomena. The method is based on mapping the time evolution operator for …

Purpose: This study was undertaken to determine whether the concentration of hyaluronic
acid (HA) and of chondroitin sulfate (CS) occurring in the normal and the primary open-angle …
