Tufts University Researchers Identify Mechanism Involved in Causing Cataracts in Mice
Tufts UniversityA team led by Tufts University researchers discovered that a communications breakdown between two biochemical pathways is involved in causing cataracts in mice. The newfound relationship between the ubiquitin and calpain pathways may lead to pharmaceuticals and dietary approaches that can prolong the function of the relevant pathways and delay the onset of cataracts in people.
