Keratoconus is a progressive thinning and anterior protrusion of the cornea that results in
steepening and distortion of the cornea, altered refractive powers, and reduced vision. …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNA molecules that regulate gene and protein
expression by translational repression and/or mRNA degradation. miRNAs are implicated in …

Purpose Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death is a key feature of glaucoma. Elevated levels of
tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, can induce RGC apoptosis …

Retinal dystrophies are one of the leading causes of pediatric congenital blindness. Leber's
congenital amaurosis (LCA) encompasses one of the most severe forms of inherited retinal …

Objectives: To compare the mean total antioxidant status (TAS) among 3 glaucoma types,

Background Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine, which plays
a role in glaucomatous neurodegeneration. Based on the plausible role of inflammation in …
