Estrogen-mediated corneal collagen degradation in keratoconus

Summary: Keratoconus (KC) is characterized by corneal thinning due to pathologic degradation of corneal stromal collagen. This study investigates the role of β-estradiol in corneal collagen degradation using both tear fluid samples from KC and non-KC patients and in vitro models (co-culture and 3D c...
