Behaviour of hTERT in the tears of neophyte contact lens wearers during the sleep/wake cycle
To investigate the behaviour of telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) in the tears of healthy neophyte contact lenses-wearing individuals during the sleep/wake cycle. A subsequent aim was to investigate whether hTERT behaviour was associated with inflammatory mediators interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF- α) in tears.
