Mechanical stretch upregulates connexin43 in human trabecular meshwork cells.

We have shown stretch to increase GJA1 gene and Cx43 protein expression, as well as intercellular communication.

ALK5 Inhibition of Subconjunctival Scarring From Glaucoma Surgery: Effects of SB-431542 Compared to Mitomycin C in Human Tenon's Capsule Fibroblasts.

SB shows comparable efficacy to MMC in reducing expression of fibrosis-promoting proteins in HTCFs and in vitro scarring activity.

Interaction of primary human trabecular meshwork cells with metal alloy candidates for microinvasive glaucoma surgery.

Substratum topography and metal alloy composition were found to impact morphology, viability and function of primary HTMC cultures.

Mechanisms of benzalkonium chloride toxicity in a human trabecular meshwork cell line and the protective role of preservative-free tafluprost.

These results demonstrate that BAK is harmful to the health of cultured HTMC.
