Abstract:Purpose
The purpose of this study is to explore and identify intra‐ and inter‐cellular calcium (Ca2+) signaling in human lens epithelial cells (LECs) upon local mechanical stimulation, to understand better the role of Ca2+ in intercellular communication related to cataract formation, lens regeneration and posterior capsular opacification (PCO).
Methods
The anterior lens capsule (aLC: basement membrane and associated LECs) were obtained from cataract surgery. Primary human LEC cultures were established by placi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
