Expression of mRNAs, miRNAs, and lncRNAs in Human Trabecular Meshwork Cells Upon Mechanical Stretch.

To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of the differential expression of coding and non-coding RNAs in a single set of cells subjected to cyclic mechanical stretch.

Macrophage-Hosted Porphyromonas gingivalis Is a Risk Factor for Cataract Development.

Chronic infection with PG can access the lens epithelium via macrophages during stress conditions, which promotes cataract development by possibly elevating oxidative stress, apoptosis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in lens tissues.
