This NIH-funded project aims to understand the role of Apelin signaling in the development of Schlemm’s canal, a key structure regulating intraocular pressure and implicated in early-onset glaucoma, using mouse models and advanced transcriptomics.
Description
The project focuses on the development of Schlemm’s canal and its role in glaucoma. It involves mouse models, single-cell transcriptomics, and ocular physiology techniques. The research has implications for understanding congenital glaucoma and potential therapeutic targets.
