Pterygium

Information about Pterygium: characteristics, related genes and pathways, plus antibodies you can use for research. This page is being enriched constantly, if you see some information you would like this page to include please send your suggestions to us.

Overview of Pterygium

Most recent studies have shown that Pterygium shares some biological mechanisms with cataract, cicatrix, cleft-palate, conjunctival-diseases, conjunctivitis, corneal-diseases, disorder-of-eye, glaucoma, inflammation, keratitis, multiple-pterygium-syndrome, neoplasms, pathologic-neovascularization, pinguecula, popliteal-pterygium-syndrome, recurrence-(disease-attribute), scleral-diseases, ulcer.

Among the many pathways, these few ones have gauged particular interests from scientists studying Pterygium, and have been seen in publications frequently: Aging, Angiogenesis, Cell Adhesion, Cell Cycle, Cell Migration, Cell Proliferation, Dehiscence, Enucleation, Fibroblast Proliferation, Granuloma Formation, Hypersensitivity, Keratinization, Localization, Lymphangiogenesis, Pathogenesis, Secretion, Tear Secretion, Tissue Remodeling, Transposition, Wound Healing

Quite a number of genes have been found to play important roles in Pterygium, such as AMT, CKAP4, EGF, EGFR, FGF2, IRF6, MAPK3, MMP2, NOD2, NOL3, PCNA, TNF, TNFSF14, TNIP1, TP53, TP63, VEGFA, VIM. See what Boster has to offer for the research of these genes by clicking the gene name links below and view a more detailed info card/product listing for that gene.

In a later update, we will include information such as current drugs and therapy solutions as well as on-going and past clinical trials for this disease. Plesae stay updated.
