Mechanobiological responses of astrocytes in optic nerve head due to biaxial stretch
Abstract Background Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is the main risk factor for glaucoma, which might cause the activation of astrocytes in optic nerve head. To determine the effect of mechanical stretch on the astrocytes, we investigated the changes in cell phenotype, proteins of interest and s...
