Macromolecular Differences in the Extracellular Matrix Between Normal and Keratoconus Human Corneas: An <i>Ex Vivo</i> Study
In corneas with KC, non-collagenous proteins decreased without affecting decorin, lumican, or KS levels, which were relatively increased. In addition, decorin was highly glycosylated.
