Summary
This paper discusses the effects of blast injuries on the eye, specifically looking at changes in gene expression and phenotypic changes in mice, with the goal of defining biomarkers to predict the severity of the injury and eventual outcomes.
Categories
Eye health: The paper focuses on the effects of blast injuries on the eye, studying changes in gene expression and phenotypic changes in mice.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the identification of genetic networks activated by ocular blast injury, which could potentially impact cognitive function.
Aging: The paper indirectly discusses aging as it explores the effects of blast injuries on the eye, which could be more prevalent or severe in older individuals.
