Progressive neurodegeneration of the optic nerve and the loss of retinal ganglion cells is a
hallmark of glaucoma, the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, with primary …

Obesity and insulin resistance are associated with deposition of triglycerides in tissues other
than adipose tissue. Previously, we showed that a missense mutation (I148M) in PNPLA3 (…

The upsurge in prevalence of obesity has spawned an epidemic of nonalcoholic fatty liver
disease (NAFLD). Previously, we identified a sequence variant (I148M) in patatin-like …

Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy, commonly associated with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP)
characterized by optic nerve degeneration, cupping of the optic disc, and loss of retinal …

Purpose Changes in the expression of water channels or aquaporins (AQP) have been
reported in several diseases. However, such changes and mechanisms remain to be evaluated …

Proton exchange membrane electrolysis cell (PEMEC) is a promising option for hydrogen
production with excellent dynamic response and the ability to operate at high current densities …

Metal foam (MF) material is a promising alternative in fuel cell for its extremely porous
structure, high electrical conductivity, controllable permeability and strong mechanical strength. …

purpose. Endothelin (ET)-1 levels are increased in aqueous and vitreous humor in patients
with glaucoma and animal models of glaucoma. Whether the elevated ET-1 induces …

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a vasoactive peptide that is elevated in aqueous humor as well as
circulation of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) patients. ET-1 has been shown to promote …

Background Primary open angle glaucoma is a heterogeneous group of optic neuropathies
that results in optic nerve degeneration and a loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) ultimately …
