Expression of extracellular matrix protein in advanced keratoconus and the normal human cornea

Expression of extracellular matrix protein in advanced keratoconus and the normal human cornea

BackgroundThe pre-Descemet layer (Dua’s layer) (PDL/DL) and the Descemet membrane (DM) have the highest expression of elastin in normal corneas.
