Normal and glaucomatous outflow regulation.

JCT cells then relocate versican with its highly charged glycosaminoglycan side chains into the discontinuities and by manipulation of their orientation and concentration, the JCT and perhaps the SCE cells regulate the amount of fluid passage.

Estimating Human Trabecular Meshwork Stiffness by Numerical Modeling and Advanced OCT Imaging.

TM stiffness is higher, but only modestly so, in glaucomatous patients.

Biomechanical Rigidity and Quantitative Proteomics Analysis of Segmental Regions of the Trabecular Meshwork at Physiologic and Elevated Pressures.

These data show changes in biomechanical properties of segmental regions within the TM in response to elevated pressure, and levels of specific ECM proteins.

Consensus Recommendation for Mouse Models of Ocular Hypertension to Study Aqueous Humor Outflow and Its Mechanisms.

In this review, we describe a set of minimum acceptable standards for developing, characterizing, and utilizing mouse models of open-angle ocular hypertension.
