A comprehensive analysis of corneal mRNA levels during sulfur mustard induced ocular late pathology in the rabbit model using RNA sequencing

Exposure to sulfur mustard (SM) may result in severe ocular injuries. While some of the eyes show a clinical resolution of the injury (defined as clinically non-impaired), part of the eyes develop irreversible late ocular pathologies (defined as clinically impaired) that may lead to corneal blindness. Understanding the pathological mechanisms underlying the development of the late pathology may lead to improved treatment options. Therefore, this...
