An update on the landscape of collagen bioactive fragments

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The remodeling of the extracellular matrix releases collagen bioactive fragments, which exert molecular functions and regulate numerous biological processes via several signaling pathways. Here, we summarize the latest findings describing the roles of major bioactive fragments from collagens I, IV, VI, and XVIII in various physiological and ...

Proteolytic remodelling of the extracellular matrix by pericytes

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Pericytes are specialised perivascular cells intimately connected with endothelial cells and essential for the maintenance of vascular beds. They contribute to the formation and remodelling of the extracellular matrix by actively secreting proteases and protease inhibitors.

Comparison of vitrectomized with nonvitrectomized eyes after subtenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide to treat diabetic macular edema: Retrospective comparative Analysis of an interventional case series

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2017
Purpose: Triamcinolone acetonide (TA) is an alternative option for diabetic macular edema thanks to its cost-benefit ratio and unique delivery route. We performed this study to compare vitrectomized with nonvitrectomized eyes treated with subtenon TA ...

Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibition and injection burden in mild diabetic macular edema: An exploratory post hoc analysis of the COMET trial

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
Combining oral sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors with reduced intravitreal injections of anti‐vascular endothelial growth factor showed potential efficacy for mild diabetic macular edema. ABSTRACT Aims To investigate the potential of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) as a less invasive treatment option for mild diabetic macular

The positive correlation between the progressive photoreceptor damage and the increased macular leakage indicating the severity of diabetic retinopathy

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
The dark area of photoreceptor cells, as measured by adaptive optics laser scanning ophthalmoscopy, shows significant enlargement with the progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR). A similar trend is observed for macular vascular leakage assessed by fundus fluorescein angiography. A positive correlation exists between these two parameters, suggesting a

Systemic, Lifestyle and Environmental Modifying Factors in the Pathogenesis of Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
A variety of impacting factors in the pathogenesis of periodontitis exist, including systemic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. This review highlights the manifold mechanistic aspects of the link between the pathogenesis of periodontitis, addressing these numerous factors to supplement the long‐standing knowledge of the progression of the disease.

An eye on long‐duration spaceflight: Controversies, countermeasures and challenges

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Space flight‐associated neuroocular syndrome (SANS) is a consequence of long‐duration space flight and is detected in two‐thirds of astronauts. In‐flight, this can cause a change in the refraction of the eyes, requiring graded hypermetropic ‘superfocus adjustable’ glasses, optic nerve head oedema and choroidal folds.

Branch retinal artery occlusion due to patent foramen ovale in a teenager

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This report demonstrates the diagnostic evaluation and clinical management of a 16‐year‐old girl who developed branch retinal artery occlusion secondary to patent foramen ovale. The goal is to increase awareness of this rare presentation in adolescents among clinicians, with a summary of the important clinical features, multimodal imaging ...
