What is it about?
Keratoconus is a biomechanical disease where the treatment is based on improving the biomechanical stability. In this study we identified that beta catenin can sense the elastic modulus change and can act as mechanosensor

Why is it important?
The mechanosensing ability of beta catenin can be used to screes patients with subclinical keratoconus
