Efficacy and safety of microbial transglutaminase-induced scleral stiffening in vivo

Xiaona Sun et al.

Summary: The study investigated the efficacy and safety of microbial transglutaminases (mTGases) during scleral collagen cross-linking (CXL) in vivo. The results showed that mTGase treatment significantly increased the elastic modulus of the sclera, indicating effective stiffening of the tissue. Morphological observations also revealed an increase in the density of collagen bundles and diameter of collagen fibrils in the mTGase-treated group. No apoptosis or histological damage was detected, suggesting the safety of mTGase-mediated scleral CXL.

Scleral remodeling in myopia development

Y. Qi et al.

Summary: With the increasing prevalence of myopia, it has become a global health concern. The structural cause of nearsightedness is often the increased axial length of the eye. Scleral remodeling, which is dependent on changes in the scleral extracellular matrix, is significantly linked to eye lengthening. This mini-review focuses on recent research progress in scleral remodeling to provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of myopia.
