Effect of corneal light scatter on vision: a review of the literature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The cornea is the transparent connective tissue window at the front of the eye. The physiological role of the cornea is to conduct external light into the eye, focus it, together with the lens, onto the retina, and to provide rigidity to the entire ...

Effects of intracameral brilliant blue on the corneal endothelium of swine: in vitro study

open access: yesPesquisa Veterinária Brasileira
: The aim was to investigate the ultrastructural changes in the corneal endothelium of pigs induced by intracameral 0.05% brilliant blue. Twenty swine corneas were separated into two groups, the right eye bulbs (control group) and the left eye bulbs ...

Characterization of Human Transition Zone Reveals a Putative Progenitor-Enriched Niche of Corneal Endothelium

open access: yesCells, 2019
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.

Longitudinal Changes to Tight Junction Expression and Endothelial Cell Integrity in a Mouse Model of Sterile Corneal Inflammation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
PURPOSE: We previously reported that applying toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands to an injured cornea induces corneal edema at 24 hours, which subsides by 1 week.

Microelectromechanical system‐based devices for the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of ophthalmic diseases

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Due to the characteristics of miniaturization, high sensing performance, integration, and high comfort, MEMS‐based devices were employed to design sensors, imaging systems, drug delivery systems, retinal prosthesis, surgical tools, and wearable products for the ophthalmic disease diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring.

Human Fetal Keratocytes Have Multipotent Characteristics in the Developing Avian Embryo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The human cornea contains stem cells that can be induced to express markers consistent with multipotency in cell culture; however, there have been no studies demonstrating that human corneal keratocytes are multipotent.

Alogliptin Reduces Oxidative Stress in Cardiomyocytes and Ameliorates Diabetic Cardiomyopathy via the AURKB/NLGN2 Signaling

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus. This study investigated the effects of alogliptin on DCM and its underlying mechanisms. A DCM model was constructed and treated with alogliptin. Downstream targets of alogliptin were screened using bioinformatics analysis.

Overexpression of MMPs in Corneas Requiring Penetrating and Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
PurposeMatrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) comprise a family of zinc-dependent endopeptidases involved in wound healing processes, including neovascularization and fibrosis. We assessed MMP protein expression levels in diseased corneas of patients requiring
