Targeted therapy for the post-operative conjunctiva : SPARC silencing reduces collagen deposition
Background: To develop targeted antifibrotic therapy for glaucoma filtration surgery; this study determines the effectiveness of small interfering RNA (siRNA) to reduce in vivo secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) expression using the mouse model of conjunctival scarring. Methods: Ex...
