Role of Decorin in Posterior Capsule Opacification and Eye Lens Development

Role of Decorin in Posterior Capsule Opacification and Eye Lens Development

Decorin (DCN) is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of lens epithelial cells (LECs) has been proposed as a major cause for the development of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) after cataract surgery. We investigated the plau...
