摘要
Little is known about molecular mechanisms responsible for the development of glaucoma, the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. A new study suggests that glaucoma pathogenesis involves an endothelial leukocyte cell-adhesion molecule that is implicated in the development of vascular diseases (pages 304-309).
