Aim of this study was the evaluation of Alpha-crystallin B and its potential neuroprotective properties in an experimentalanimal model of glaucoma with subsequent analysis of possible altered downstream markers in a complex mass spectrometric approach.
A high percentage of vision loss and blindness worldwide are due to glaucoma and cataracts ocular diseases. Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are small lipidic vesicles involved in transport and cell-to-cell communication, released into different body fluids including eye’s aqueous humor. The iden...
