Abstract
Endothelial to mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is a poorly understood phenomenon that results in normal endothelial cells acquiring a mesenchymal phenotype. EndMT has been observed in a number of pathological conditions, from cancer to fibrosis to cardiovascular disease and the process itself may play an important mechanistic role in the development of these disease states.

New drug therapy for eye diseases
Eyesight is one of the most critical senses, accounting for over 80% of our perceptions. Our quality of life might be significantly affected by eye disease, including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, dry eye, etc. Although the development of microinvasive ocular surgery reduces surgical complications and improves overall outcomes, medication therapy is ...read more
