Halfter, Willi ; Moes, Suzette ; Halfter, Kathrin ; Schoenenberger, Monica S. ; Monnier, Christophe A. ; Kalita, Joanna ; Asgeirsson, Daphne ; Binggeli, Tatjana ; Jenoe, Paul ; Scholl, Hendrik P.N. ; Henrich, Paul Bernhard

In: Experimental eye research, 2020, vol. 201, no. December, p. 13 p

The Descemet's membrane (DM) and the lens capsule (LC) are two ocular basement membranes (BMs) that are essential in maintaining stability and structure of the cornea and lens. In this study, we investigated the proteomes and biomechanical properties of these two materials to uncover common and unique properties. We also screened for possible protein changes during diabetes. LC-MS/MS was used...
