Open AccessRETRACTED ARTICLE: WRN inhibits oxidative stress-induced apoptosis of human lensepithelial cells through ATM/p53 signaling pathway and its expression is downregulated by DNA methylation
Apoptosis and oxidative stress are the main etiology of age related cataract (ARC). This article aims to investigate the role of WRN in lens epithelial cells (LECs).
