The Role of Decorin in the Ocular Surface: Structure, Function, and Therapeutic Potential

Proteoglycan Research, Volume 3, Issue 3, July 2025.
ABSTRACT The ocular surface, comprising the cornea, conjunctiva, and sclera, relies on a complex extracellular matrix (ECM) for structural support and functional integrity. Decorin (DCN), a small leucine‐rich proteoglycan, a key ECM component involved in collagen fibrillogenesis, growth factor modulation, and cellular regulation, is essential for ...

Exploring the Antimicrobial Action of Quaternary Amines against Acinetobacter baumannii

mBio, 2018
Quaternary amine compounds (QAC) are potent antimicrobials used to prevent the spread of pathogenic bacteria. While they are known for their membrane-damaging properties, QAC action has been suggested to extend beyond the surface to intracellular targets.
