Exploring the Universe within the Human Lens Through Raman Spectroscopy

Delhi Journal of Ophthalmology, 2017
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,

Molecular Mediators Associated With Myelination, Demyelination, and Remyelination in the Peripheral Nervous System

Journal of the Peripheral Nervous System, Volume 31, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is responsible for innervating all regions of the body outside of the central nervous system (CNS), the latter consisting of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. While myelin is an essential component for the efficient functioning of both CNS and peripheral nerve cells, it is particularly important for ...

Micropurification of beta- and gamma- crystallins from rabbit aqueous humor. [PDF]

, 1999
Soluble crystallins are normally present in the aqueous humor, originating from the lens, and their concentration may increase in certain conditions such as cataract, possibly contributing to aqueous outflow pathway obstruction, leading to glaucoma ...

Phylogenetic comparison of lens crystallins from the vertebrate and invertebrate - convergent or divergent evolution? [PDF]

, 1986
A systematic biochemical comparison has been made of the crystallins isolated from the lenses of five different species belonging to the five major classes of vertebrates.

Regional Functional Molecular Profiles Within the Mammalian Cortex: A Commentary on Limbic Mesocortex

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 8, August 2026.
Two lateral mouse brain sagittal sections labeled, respectively, for Lypd1 (A) and Kcnab3 (B). (A) Lypd1 labels positively cortical Layers 2 and 5 (less heavily), but only at limbic mesocortical sites, forming the limbic ring that separates the unlabeled isocortex (IsoCx) from the unlabeled hippocampal and olfactory allocortex (Hi, Sub, ERh; OlfCx ...

Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis: Interplay Between Host Antituberculosis Immunity and Immune Evasion Strategies of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis–host interactions and infection outcomes. Following initial infection, alveolar macrophages phagocytose the pathogen, prompting the recruitment of innate immune cells including neutrophils, NK cells, and interstitial macrophages.

Copper Reductase Activity and Free Radical Chemistry by Cataract-Associated Human Lens γ‑Crystallins [PDF]

Cataracts are caused by high-molecular-weight aggregates of human eye lens proteins that scatter light, causing lens opacity. Metal ions have emerged as important potential players in the etiology of cataract disease, as human lens γ-crystallins are ...

Porcine eye lens crystallins: Antigenic similarity with human crystallins and tool for the detection of anti-crystallin antibodies [PDF]

, 2002
Background: The usual sources of antigenic material for investigations on circulating immunoglobulins with anti-lens crystallins specificity are saline extracts of human cataract lenses.

Beyond Sequence: Posttranslational Remodeling of Antigens in Autoimmunity

Immunological Reviews, Volume 341, Issue 1, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Autoimmune responses are often attributed to failed tolerance to self‐proteins, yet protein expression alone cannot explain why certain antigens dominate disease, why autoreactivity emerges under stress, or why specific HLA alleles shape risk.

Modifications of human βA1/βA3-crystallins include S-methylation, glutathiolation, and truncation [PDF]

, 2005
Disulfide bonding of lens crystallins contributes to the aggregation and insolubilization of these proteins that leads to cataract. A high concentration of reduced glutathione is believed to be key in preventing oxidation of crystallin sulfhydryls to ...
