Activation of epidermal growth factor receptor signals induction of nitric oxide synthase-2 in human optic nerve head astrocytes in glaucomatous optic neuropathy
Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy that is associated with elevated intraocular pressure in most patients. We have previously demonstrated that the mechanism by which pressure damages optic nerve axons involves excessive nitric oxide generated by inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS-2). We have now fou...
