Researchers from National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Provide Details of New Studies and Findings in the Area of Glaucoma (Glisl Regulates Trabecular Meshwork Function and Intraocular Pressure and Is Associated With ...)

摘要

2021 SEP 17 (NewsRx) - By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Disease Prevention Daily- Investigators publish new report on Eye Diseases and Conditions - Glaucoma. According to news reporting from Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "Chronically elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is the major risk factor of primary open-angle glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness. Dysfunction of the trabecular meshwork ?, which controls the outflow of aqueous humor (AqH) from the anterior chamber, is the major cause of elevated IOP." Financial supporters for this research include Intramural Research Program of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), NIH National Eye Institute (NEI), NIH National Institute of Diabetes & Digestive & Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), Research to Prevent Blindness unrestricted grant (UCSF Ophthalmology), That Man May See Inc., BrightFocus Foundation, UCSF Academic Senate Committee on Research (RAP grant), Marin Community Foundation-Kathlyn Masneri and Arno Masneri Fund, Department of Biotechnology (DBT) India, Precision Medicine Initiative at Columbia University.
