Abnormal Glycaemic Fluctuations Associated With Early Microvascular Changes in the Retina and Choroid of Nondiabetic Adults

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims To evaluate the association between continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)‐derived glycaemic variability indicators and early microvascular changes of the retina and choroid in nondiabetic individuals. Materials and Methods Community‐based individuals at high risk for type 2 diabetes (T2DM) underwent detailed assessments including oral ...

Diabetic Corneal Neuropathy as a Window Into Diabetic Foot Risk: A Large‐Scale Association Study

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims To evaluate the association between diabetic corneal neuropathy and diabetic foot risk by examining corneal nerve features, clinical characteristics, and tear mediators in patients with different diabetic foot risk categories. Methods In this cross‐sectional study, 710 participants underwent diabetic foot examination, in vivo confocal ...

Proteoglycans on normal and migrating human corneal endothelium.

open access: yes, 1999
Proteoglycans are of fundamental importance to the normal functioning of the cornea. They consist of a core protein to which one or more glycosaminoglycan chains are attached. Cell surface proteoglycans are known to mediate many aspects of cell behaviour

Limbal cystotomy by fine needle aspiration of a translucent iris cyst in a horse

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary A 4‐year‐old Cremello crossbred mare was referred to the Equine Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Utrecht University for a translucent iris cyst from the dorsal pupillary margin corpora nigra in the right eye. Although noninvasive diode laser treatment is the preferred method of pigmented cyst ablation, two attempts did not result in disruption ...

Interactions between small leucine‐rich proteoglycans and proteases: implications for tissue homeostasis and pathology

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Small leucine‐rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) are key modulators of extracellular matrix structure and signaling. Their proteolytic processing by MMPs (Matrix Metalloproteinases), ADAMTS (disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin motifs), and serine proteases generates bioactive fragments that regulate collagen remodeling, inflammation, and ...

Tissue Engineering of Feline Corneal Endothelium Using a Devitalized Human Cornea as Carrier

open access: yes, 2009
The difficulties in obtaining good quality tissue for the replacement of corneas of patients suffering from endothelial dysfunctions have prompted us to evaluate the feasibility of producing a tissue-engineered (TE) corneal endothelium using devitalized ...

Conjunctival and Corneal Endothelium Profile in a Sample of Healthy Electronic Cigarette Smokers

open access: yesJournal of Health Science and Medical Research (JHSMR)
Objective: Though e-cigarette is thought of as a healthy alternative way of smoking, the unknown nicotine concentration level and chemical compounds from the aerosol mist and flavourings are potentially harmful and may exert irritation or damage to the ...

Proteolysis at the extracellular matrix interface: Molecular architects and regulators in health and disease

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a dynamic scaffold that orchestrates tissue architecture and cellular communication. A critical but underexplored interplay between proteases and cluster of differentiation molecules (CD) governs ECM turnover and directs cell fate.
