OverviewAI-generated summary

Aytan Musayeva investigates mechanisms of ocular diseases, with a focus on the cornea and retina. Her research explores the physiological and pathophysiological roles of specific cellular components and signaling pathways in the eye. Musayeva has studied the impact of elevated intraocular pressure on retinal arteriole reactivity and the importance of the M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor in retinal neuron survival in aging mice. She has also examined the protective effects of betulinic acid against retinal ischemia-reperfusion injury and the role of substance P and its receptor expression in ocular surface disorders. Her work has been published in several peer-reviewed journals, contributing to a broader understanding of visual system health and disease. Musayeva's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 14, with 45 total publications and 692 total citations.
