Amyloid found in human cataracts with two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Cataract disease causes blindness in over 18 million people due to aggregation of proteins in the normally clear eye lens. There exist conflicting reports about these aggregates in lens tissue due to complications such as extremely high ...

Effect of plant-based feed ingredients on osmoregulation in the Atlantic salmon lens [PDF]
, 2010 Lenses of adult Atlantic salmon fed with a plant oil and plant protein-based diet (plant diet) were compared to lenses of fish fed a diet based on traditional marine ingredients (marine diet) with respect to biochemical composition and functionality ex ...

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 A deleterious variant of FCHSD1 results in mTOR pathway overactivation and may cause porto‐sinusoidal vascular disorder (PSVD). The pedigree of the family demonstrated an autosomal dominant disease with variable expressivity. Whole‐genome sequencing and Sanger sequencing both validated the existence of the FCHSD1 variant and the heterozygosity of c ...

Increased SK3 expression in DM1 lens cells leads to impaired growth through a greater calcium-induced fragility [PDF]
, 2006 Although cataract is a characteristic feature of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), little is known of the underlying mechanisms. We generated four lens epithelial cell lines derived from DM1 cataracts and two from age-matched, non-DM cataracts. Small-pool

Failure of Oxysterols Such as Lanosterol to Restore Lens Clarity from Cataracts
Scientific Reports, 2019 The paradigm that cataracts are irreversible and that vision from cataracts can only be restored through surgery has recently been challenged by reports that oxysterols such as lanosterol and 25-hydroxycholesterol can restore vision by binding to αB ...

Years of sunlight exposure and cataract: a case-control study in a Mediterranean population. [PDF]
, 2007 BACKGROUND: We aimed to investigate the relation between sunlight exposure and risk of cataract. METHODS: We carried out a frequency-matched case-control study of 343 cases and 334 controls attending an ophthalmology outpatient clinic at a primary health-

Drugs associated with cataract formation represent an unmet need in cataract research
Frontiers in Medicine, 2022 Decreased light transmittance through the ocular lens, termed cataract, is a leading cause of low vision and blindness worldwide. Cataract causes significantly decreased quality of life, particularly in the elderly.

N-acetylhistidine, a novel osmolyte in the lens of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) [PDF]
, 2010 Volume homeostasis is essential for the preservation of lens transparency and this is of particular significance to anadromous fish species where migration from freshwater to seawater presents severe osmotic challenges. In Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)
