The Matricellular Protein CCN1 Induces Corneal Stromal Cells Senescence and Inflammation to Trigger Extracellular Matrix Remodeling in Keratoconus

Purpose: Keratoconus (KC) is a multifactorial corneal degenerative disorder characterized by reduced extracellular matrix (ECM) and cellular content. This study investigates the role and mechanism of cellular communication network factor 1 (CCN1) in KC progression. Methods: The e...
