The effects of exosomes derived from trabecular meshwork cells on Schlemm’s canal endothelial cells
Abstract Trabecular meshwork (TM) and Schlemm’s canal (SC) are the main structures within the conventional outflow pathway, and TM cells and SC endothelial (SCE) cells are essential for controlling intraocular pressure. To examine the interaction between TM cells and SCE cells, we investigated wheth...
