Exploring the Universe within the Human Lens Through Raman Spectroscopy
Ever since the emergence of refined modalities of cataract surgery, the looming question has been the same - How to improve the technique, to minimize manipulation of biological components and optimize the end result? The most recent development has been,

Development of cataract caused by diabetes mellitus: Raman study [PDF]
Diabetes mellitus succeeded by diabetic cataract was induced to experimental animals (Wistar rats) by applying an Alloxan injection. Eye properties deterioration were monitored from clinical standpoint and using Raman and infrared spectroscopies.

This study provides insight into the performance of a range‐expanding species and the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying thermal tolerance at its expanding edge. ABSTRACT Species expand their geographic distribution when environmental conditions are favorable or when mutations arise that allow them to live in previously unfavorable ...

Association of High Myopia with Crystallin Beta A4 (CRYBA4) Gene Polymorphisms in the Linkage-Identified MYP6 Locus [PDF]
Background: Myopia is the most common ocular disorder worldwide and imposes tremendous burden on the society. It is a complex disease. The MYP6 locus at 22 q12 is of particular interest because many studies have detected linkage signals at this interval.

Unraveling the Role of Ensheathing Cells and Perineural Fibroblasts in Olfactory Neurogenesis
Main Points DEOs are similar to satellite glial cells. DECs react to neuronal injury by promoting lipid metabolism, but do not proliferate. ECs reduce gap junctions upon neuronal injury. Perineural fibroblasts also contribute to the injury response. ABSTRACT During development and following injury‐induced neurogenesis, olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs)

ABSTRACT Background Mutations in the desmin gene cause skeletal myopathies and cardiomyopathies. The objective of this study was to elucidate the molecular pathology induced by the expression of R405W mutant desmin in murine skeletal muscle. Methods A comprehensive characterization of the skeletal muscle pathology in hetero‐ and homozygous R405W desmin

Differentiation state-specific mitochondrial dynamic regulatory networks are revealed by global transcriptional analysis of the developing chicken lens. [PDF]
The mature eye lens contains a surface layer of epithelial cells called the lens epithelium that requires a functional mitochondrial population to maintain the homeostasis and transparency of the entire lens.

ABSTRACT Background Mechanical inactivity rapidly induces diaphragm muscle fibres' contractile dysfunction and atrophy. Diaphragm weakness can impair respiratory function, quality of life and increase risks of morbidity and mortality. Muscle RING‐finger protein‐1 (MuRF1) expression is upregulated during denervation and muscle inactivity and is known to
