Corneal endothelial cell morphometry and corneal thickness in diabetic contact lens wearers

open access: yes, 2004
Purpose. To assess corneal endothelial cell morphometry and corneal thickness in diabetic patients who wear contact lenses. Methods. Images of the central corneal endothelium were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively and corneal thickness was ...

Electronics‐Free Visual Monitoring of Dry Eye Disease‐Related Tear Biomarkers Using Smart Scleral Lenses

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An electronics‐free smart scleral lens passively monitors dry eye disease‐related tear biomarkers through colorimetric sensing of chloride, pH, and ocular surface temperature. Smartphone‐assisted image analysis enables quantitative interpretation, providing a simple, non‐invasive strategy for ocular health monitoring without integrated electronics ...

Birefringent properties of the human cornea in vivo : towards a new model of corneal structure [PDF]

open access: yes
The fundamental corneal properties of mechanical rigidity, maintenance of curvature and optical transparency result from the specific organisation of collagen fibrils in the corneal stroma. The exact arrangement of stromal collagen is currently unknown

OAF Blocks SIAH1‐Mediated Degradation of SCPX, a Therapeutic Strategy for MASLD

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study shows OAF directly binds to SCPX and inhibits its interaction with the E3 ligase SIAH1, thereby protecting SCPX from ubiquitin‐dependent degradation and stabilizing its levels. This OAF‐SCPX axis represents a novel pathway in lipid homeostasis, highlighting OAF as a promising therapeutic candidate for MASLD.

The Influence of Type-1 Diabetes Mellitus on Central Corneal Thickness in Children

open access: yes, 2014
Objectives: To evaluate the central corneal thickness (CCT) in children with diabetes mellitus (DM), to compare the results with those of age- and sex-matched healthy subjects, and to assess the presence of any relationship between the disease-variable ...

TECTB Variants Reveal Tectorial Membrane Vulnerability in Dominant Non‐Syndromic Hearing Loss

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
TECTB is a non‐collagenous protein of the tectorial membrane – an extracellular matrix of the cochlea. This study identifies dominant missense variants in TECTB linked to human hereditary deafness in two unrelated families. Genetically engineered mice homozygous for one of the variants are profoundly deaf, whereas heterozygous mice have normal hearing ...

TGFBI Maintains Fibrocartilage Homeostasis by Restraining O‐GlcNAcylation to Inactivate and Destabilize ADAMTS16 in Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthritis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
TGFBI deficiency elevates O‐GlcNAcylation, promoting the transcriptional activation of ADAMTS16 and OGT‐mediated post‐translational modification of ADAMTS16 at Ser1170. This leads to its stabilization and accumulation, driving chondrocyte metabolic disorders and senescent phenotypes, ultimately resulting in fibrocartilage dysfunction and TMJOA ...
