The corneal endothelium regulates corneal hydration to maintain the transparency of cornea. Lacking regenerative capacity, corneal endothelial cell loss due to aging and diseases can lead to corneal edema and vision loss.

Abstract Late‐onset Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is the most common primary disease of the corneal endothelium and the leading indication for corneal transplantation in Western countries. It is characterized by progressive accumulation, over two to three decades, of extracellular matrix (ECM) components in Descemet's membrane (DM ...

Tissue engineered corneal endothelium transplantation in an ex vivo human cornea organ culture model
Transplantation of corneal tissue is the standard treatment for irreversible corneal endothelium decompensation by replacing the malfunctioning corneal endothelial cells and Descemet’s membrane.

ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative condition characterized by a preclinical stage that typically lasts for decades. Early on during this time, microglia react to pathological changes and become protective and even transiently delay neurodegeneration.

Congenital aniridia: European COST action ANIRIDIA‐NET guidelines for diagnosis, management and care
Abstract Congenital aniridia is a rare ocular disorder affecting the majority of eye structures and can be associated with systemic manifestations. The main visible phenotypic characteristic is the partial or complete absence of the iris; however, foveal hypoplasia is a more frequent and reliable clinical sign. Other ocular comorbidities are associated

Effects of Laser In Situ Keratomileusis on the Corneal Endothelium
The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) on the corneal endothelium. In a prospective study, the corneal endothelium of 87 eyes (45 patients) was examined before and 1 month after LASIK.

Exploring the histopathological signature of repeat‐mediated Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy
Abstract Purpose To determine the histological differences between Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) cases with and without the most common genetic risk factor, expansion of a CTG repeat (CTG18.1) within the TCF4 gene. Methods Formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded corneal tissues were compared retrospectively, and CTG18.1 status was determined from

Regulation of Oxidative Stress in Corneal Endothelial Cells by Prdx6
The inner layer of the cornea, the corneal endothelium, is post-mitotic and unable to regenerate if damaged. The corneal endothelium is one of the most transplanted tissues in the body.
