'Laser trabeculoplasty of the anterior uveal region of the trabecular meshwork induces sustained matrix metafloproteinase expression within the juxtacanalicular region of the meshwork. Studies were conducted to test the hypothesis that a factor mediates this response and to identify the factor. Human anterior segment organ cultures were subjected to laser ... More
