Altered expression of aquaporin 1 and aquaporin 5 in the cornea after primary blast exposure.

Conclusions: Primary blast exposure resulted in edema-related changes in the cornea manifested by the altered expression of the edema-regulating proteins AQP1 and AQP5 with blast overpressure-specific impulses. These findings support potential acute corneal injury mechanisms in which the altered regulation of water permeability is caused by primary blast exposure. PMID: 31263351 [PubMed - in process]
