Immunofluorescence staining shows the layers of trabecular meshwork (red) and Schlemm’s canal endothelium (yellow) cells in a 3D “eye-on-a-chip” platform that mimics the flow of ocular fluids. The eye ...

Researchers have identified a metabolically sensitive cell subtype in the eye’s drainage system which shows early signs of dysfunction in a genetic mouse model of glaucoma. The study, published today ...
