Complications of corneal collagen cross-linking [PDF]

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2022
Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) is an effective treatment for arresting progression in patients with keratoconus. CXL was approved by United States Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of progressive keratoconus in 2016. It is a relatively

Corneal scarring after epithelium-off collagen cross-linking [PDF]

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology
Collagen cross-linking (CXL) is considered as a successful therapeutic approach for corneal conditions like keratoconus and corneal ectasia. Despite its efficacy in stabilizing these conditions, the occurrence of post-CXL scars remains a concern ...

Optimisation of UV irradiation as a binding site conserving method for crosslinking collagen-based scaffolds. [PDF]

, 2015
Short wavelength (λ = 254 nm) UV irradiation was evaluated over a range of intensities (0.06 to 0.96 J/cm(2)) as a means of cross-linking collagen- and gelatin-based scaffolds, to tailor their material characteristics whilst retaining biological ...

Fibromodulin Interacts with Collagen Cross-linking Sites and Activates Lysyl Oxidase. [PDF]

, 2016
The hallmark of fibrotic disorders is a highly cross-linked and dense collagen matrix, a property driven by the oxidative action of lysyl oxidase. Other fibrosis-associated proteins also contribute to the final collagen matrix properties, one of which is
