Corneal Cross-Linking: The Evolution of Treatment for Corneal Diseases [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Corneal cross-linking (CXL) using riboflavin and ultraviolet A (UVA) light has become a useful treatment option for not only corneal ectasias, such as keratoconus, but also a number of other corneal diseases. Riboflavin is a photoactivated chromophore that plays an integral role in facilitating collagen crosslinking.

The IGF/Insulin-IGFBP Axis in Corneal Development, Wound Healing, and Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2020
The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) family plays key roles in growth and development. In the cornea, IGF family members have been implicated in proliferation, differentiation, and migration, critical events that maintain a smooth refracting surface that

Primary cilia in corneal development and disease

open access: yesZoological Research, 2020
As a transparent avascular tissue located at the front of the eyeball, the cornea is an important barrier to external damage. Both epithelial and endothelial cells of the cornea harbor primary cilia, which sense changes in the external environment and ...

Nanomedicine Approaches for Corneal Diseases [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Functional Biomaterials, 2015
Corneal diseases are the third leading cause of blindness globally. Topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), steroids, antibiotics and tissue transplantation are currently used to treat corneal pathological conditions. However, barrier properties of the ocular surface necessitate high concentration of the drugs applied in the eye ...
