Effect of Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines on Junctional Complex Proteins in Cultured Human Corneal Epithelium Dry eye is associated with the breakdown in the function of the corneal epithelial barrier, but the mechanism for this breakdown has not been established. Olmos, a candidate for M.D. at Baylor, will investigate the potential role of inflammation-producing cytokines and enzymes called matrix metalloproteinases. |
