The conjunctival extracellular matrix, related disorders and development of substrates for conjunctival restoration [PDF]

, 2021
The conjunctiva can be damaged by numerous diseases with scarring, loss of tissue and dysfunction. Depending on extent of damage, restoration of function may require a conjunctival graft.

Active trachoma is associated with increased conjunctival expression of IL17A and profibrotic cytokines. [PDF]

, 2011
The immunological basis of scarring trachoma is not well understood. It is unclear whether it is driven primarily through cell-mediated adaptive or epithelial-cell-derived innate responses.

Conjunctival Microbiome-Host Responses Are Associated With Impaired Epithelial Cell Health in Both Early and Late Stages of Trachoma

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019
Background: Trachoma, a neglected tropical disease, is the leading infectious cause of blindness and visual impairment worldwide. Host responses to ocular chlamydial infection resulting in chronic inflammation and expansion of non-chlamydial bacteria are

Full thickness 3D in vitro conjunctiva model enables goblet cell differentiation

Scientific Reports, 2023
In vitro culture and generation of highly specialized goblet cells is still a major challenge in conjunctival 3D in vitro equivalents. A model comprising all physiological factors, including mucus-secreting goblet cells has the potential to act as a new ...
