Imaging the Corneal Endothelium in Fuchs Corneal Endothelial Dystrophy

open access: yesSeminars in Ophthalmology, 2019
Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is characterized by the progressive degeneration of the corneal endothelium (CE). The purpose of this article is to review the diagnostic tools available to image and assess the CE in FECD.

Deep Learning as a Tool for Automatic Segmentation of Corneal Endothelium Images

open access: yesSymmetry, 2018
The automatic analysis of the state of the corneal endothelium is of much interest in ophthalmology. Up till now, several manual and semi-automatic methods have been introduced, but the need of fully-automatic segmentation of cells in the endothelium is ...

Activation of TGF-β signaling induces cell death via the unfolded protein response in Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is a slowly progressive bilateral disease of corneal endothelium in which accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) and loss of corneal endothelial cells (CECs) are phenotypic features.

Advances in culture, expansion and mechanistic studies of corneal endothelial cells: a systematic review

open access: yesJournal of Biomedical Science, 2019
Human corneal endothelial cells are notorious for their restricted proliferative ability in vivo and in vitro. Hence, injury or dysfunction of these cells may easily result in blindness.

Fibroblast growth factor 2 induces proliferation and fibrosis via SNAI1-mediated activation of CDK2 and ZEB1 in corneal endothelium

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2018
Investigating stimulation of endogenous wound healing in corneal endothelial cells (CECs) may help address the global shortage of donor corneas by decreasing the number of transplants performed for blindness because of endothelial dysfunction.

The Immunological Basis of Dry Eye Disease and Current Topical Treatment Options. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Homeostasis of the lacrimal functional unit is needed to ensure a well-regulated ocular immune response comprising innate and adaptive phases. When the ocular immune system is excessively stimulated and/or immunoregulatory mechanisms are disrupted, the ...
