50 years of Soft Contact Lenses: Life and Impact of Prof. Otto Wichterle
, 2012 Prof. Otto Wichterle was one of the pioneers of modern soft contact lens industry; his work has made a significant impact on the ophthalmic world. 50 years ago, in 1961, Otto Wichterle produced the first soft contact lenses in his own kitchen by spin

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review
VIEW, EarlyView.Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Adsorption of PRG4 on commercially available contact lenses
, 2013 INTRODUCTION Contact lens wear can cause corneal damage, which destabilizes the tear film that protects the ocular surface and may lead to Dry Eye Syndrome [1].

Evaluation of a Novel Glycoprotein on Commercial Contact Lenses [PDF]
, 2015 PURPOSE The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate the interaction of a novel glycoprotein, known as proteoglycan 4 (PRG4), with various commercial contact lenses. METHODS PRG4 was investigated for its effects on commercial contact lenses.

Corneal transplantation: Restoring sight to the blind
Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.Abstract Corneal blindness is one of the leading causes of vision loss worldwide. Transplantation of the cornea can restore vision and make blind patients see again. Corneal transplant surgery has undergone major evolution in recent decades with the advent of minimally invasive lamellar surgical approaches such as DMEK and DALK.

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.UV exposure induces cuticular and cortical damage in natural hair, with oxidative effects and protein degradation comparable to bleaching. However, double bleaching leads to significantly greater structural degradation, emphasizing distinct mechanisms and severity of chemical versus UV‐induced damage. Abstract The combination of chemist techniques is a

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.Here, we demonstrate that polysaccharide chain length regulation plays a distinct role in enabling formation of a cyclic molecule important for the bacterial cell surface. However, this function is necessary, but not sufficient for the cyclic molecule's biosynthesis.

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) has a high phosphorus (P) requirement, yet its shallow root system and the strong P‐fixing capacity of many soils limit the effectiveness of soil fertilisation. Foliar application of nano‐hydroxyapatite particles (nHAPs) has emerged as a promising alternative P fertilisation practice.
