Notch1 signaling induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition in lens epithelium cells during hypoxia
Abstract Background Posterior Capsular Opacification (PCO) is one of the most common complications of cataract surgery which can result in severe visual damage. Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) of lens epithelium cells (LEC) is the pathological basis of PCO. Recent research showed that hypoxi...
