Defining the proteome of human iris, ciliary body, retinal pigment epithelium, and choroid

open access: yesProteomics, 2016
The iris is a fine structure that controls the amount of light that enters the eye. The ciliary body controls the shape of the lens and produces aqueous humor.

Ciliomotor circuitry underlying whole-body coordination of ciliary activity in the Platynereis larva

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2017
Ciliated surfaces harbouring synchronously beating cilia can generate fluid flow or drive locomotion. In ciliary swimmers, ciliary beating, arrests, and changes in beat frequency are often coordinated across extended or discontinuous surfaces.

Posterior attachment of ciliary muscle in young, accommodating old, presbyopic monkeys

open access: yes, 1991
The authors studied the posterior attachment of the ciliary muscle in seven young (3-10 yr) and five old (26-34 yr) rhesus monkeys by light microscopy and electron microscopy.

Formulation to target delivery to the ciliary body and choroid via the suprachoroidal space of the eye using microneedles

open access: yesEuropean journal of pharmaceutics and biopharmaceutics, 2015
In this work, we tested the hypothesis that particles injected into the suprachoroidal space can be localized at the site of injection or broadly distributed throughout the suprachoroidal space by controlling polymeric formulation properties.

Expression and Role of VEGF-A in the Ciliary Body [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Purpose.: The role of VEGF-A in the normal ciliary body is largely unexplored. The ciliary body is similar in many respects to the choroid plexus of the brain, and we demonstrated previously the importance of VEGF-A in maintenance of choroid plexus ...

Synthesis of extracellular matrix components by human ciliary muscle cells in culture

open access: yes, 1992
The production and spatial organization of connective tissue components in ciliary muscle cell cultures was studied with immunohistochemical and ultrastructural methods.

Vertebrate cells differentially interpret ciliary and extraciliary cAMP.

open access: yesCell, 2021
Hedgehog pathway components and select G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) localize to the primary cilium, an organelle specialized for signal transduction. We investigated whether cells distinguish between ciliary and extraciliary GPCR signaling.

Basal body and flagellum mutants reveal a rotational constraint of the central pair microtubules in the axonemes of trypanosomes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Productive beating of eukaryotic flagella and cilia requires a strict regulation of axonemal dynein activation. Fundamental to any description of axonemal beating is an understanding of the significance of the central pair microtubules and the degree to ...

TGF-β/RhoA/ROCK Signaling Activation Orchestrates Ciliary Body EMT and Fibrosis in Myopia

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioscience-Landmark
Background: Dysregulation of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β/Ras homolog family member A (RhoA)/Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) pathway can lead to fibrotic changes in ocular diseases.

The Masquerades of a Childhood Ciliary Body Medulloepithelioma: A Case of Chronic Uveitis, Cataract, and Secondary Glaucoma

open access: yesCase Reports in Ophthalmological Medicine, 2012
Ciliary body medulloepitheliomas in childhood often masquerade other intraocular conditions due to its insidious nature as well as its secondary effects on proximal intraocular tissues in the anterior chamber.
