Challenges of obtaining cultured corneal endothelial cells for regenerative purposes
Human posterior corneal epithelium (corneal endothelium) has limited proliferative activity both in vivo and in vitro. Disease or dysfunction in these cells leads to impaired corneal transparency of varying degrees of severity, up to blindness. Currently,

The Homeobox Genes: Classification, Regulation, Biological Functions, and Diseases
Overview of the homeobox gene superfamily and its pathophysiological roles. The homeobox superfamily comprises several major classes, including ANTP, PRD, TALE, LIM, POU, and others. Among these, the HOX clusters (A–D) play critical roles in embryonic development specifically in conferring cellular identity, regulating morphogenesis, and guiding axial ...

Unraveling Chronic Pain: From Mechanisms and Risks to Diagnosis and Treatment
Chronic pain arises through distinct molecular pathways categorized into nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic types. Nociceptive pain begins with TRP channel activation in peripheral nociceptors, signaling via Aδ‐ and C‐fibers through the spinal dorsal horn and spinothalamic tracts to the brain, regulated by descending inhibition and involving ...

Tumor‐Bearing Status Accelerates Bleomycin‐Induced Pulmonary Inflammation via Endothelial Activation
In subcutaneous tumor‐bearing mice, inflammatory cell infiltration into the lung was aggravated via endothelial activation. The tumor‐bearing status additively aggravated BLM‐induced lung inflammation. Proinflammatory changes in the lungs accelerated by tumor‐bearing status might be involved in the development of drug‐induced lung inflammation ...

The role of 42 amino acids long amyloid beta (Aβ) in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) was investigated using 5xFAD mice model overproducing Aβ. The RPE cells of 5xFAD mice showed increased oxidative stress, accumulation of autophagy‐destined proteins, increased expression of secretory autophagy markers, and increase in epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal ...
