ROCK 1 and 2 affect the spatial architecture of 3D spheroids derived from human corneal stromal fibroblasts in different manners

Abstract The objective of the current study was to examine the roles of ROCK1 and 2 on the spatial architecture of human corneal stroma. We examined the effects of a pan-ROCK inhibitor (pan-ROCK-i), ripasudil, and a ROCK2 inhibitor (ROCK2-i), KD025 on the expression of genes that encode for ECM prot...
