This study shows that loss of PROX1 in adult mouse Schlemm's canal leads to permanent ocular hypertension by converting the canal to a vein-like phenotype.

This paper develops a composite hydrogel (C-gel) that enables localized in situ gelation and sustained nanocarrier release in the anterior chamber of the eye, showing 90% polymer retention and over a month of sustained release in mice.
