Antiviral cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses for long term prognosis of corneal infection by cytomegalovirus in immunocompetent subjects

Scientific Reports, 2022
Ocular cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections in immunocompetent individuals are rare, but its activation can cause chronic and relapsing inflammation in anterior segment of the eye resulting in loss of corneal clarity and glaucoma.

Heterogeneity of human corneal endothelium implicates lncRNA NEAT1 in Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2022
The corneal endothelium is critical for maintaining corneal clarity by mediating hydration through barrier and pump functions. Progressive loss of corneal endothelial cells during aging has been associated with the development of Fuchs endothelial ...

Telomerase immortalization of human corneal endothelial cells yields functional hexagonal monolayers. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Human corneal endothelial cells (HCEnCs) form a monolayer of hexagonal cells whose main function is to maintain corneal clarity by regulating corneal hydration. HCEnCs are derived from neural crest and are arrested in the post-mitotic state.

Evaluation of corneal endothelial cell loss following vitrectomy with different endotamponades.

Oman J Ophthalmol
Abstract CONTEXT: Ensuring functional corneal endothelium is imperative for achieving optimal surgical outcomes following successful vitreoretinal surgery. Despite the critical role of the corneal endothelium in postoperative recovery, limited research has addressed endothelial cell damage specifically attributed to ...

35 Review on endothelial cell loss of corneal transplants and possible correlations

Poster abstracts, 2022
The Tissue Bank of the Upper Austrian Red Cross in Linz, Austria, is a multi-tissue bank, processing corneal transplants (for PKP, for DMEK, pre-cut DMEK), homografts (aortic valve, pulmonary valve, pulmonal patch), amnion grafts (frozen or cryopreserved), autologous tissues and cells (ovarian tissue, cranial bone, PBSC) as well as investigational ...

Clear corneal grafts with subcritical endothelial cell count after 1 year of penetrating keratoplasty

TNOA Journal of Ophthalmic Science and Research, 2018
Endothelial cell loss after penetrating keratoplasty leads to graft failure. The critical limit of the endothelial cell count for corneal decompensation is thought to be 700 cells/mm2.

Rescue of the Congenital Hereditary Endothelial Dystrophy Mouse Model by Adeno-Associated Virus–Mediated Slc4a11 Replacement

Ophthalmology Science, 2022
Purpose: Congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy (CHED) is a rare condition that manifests at an early age showing corneal edema, increased oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and eventually apoptosis of the endothelium due to loss of ...
