Acute corneal edema without epithelium compromise. A case report and literature review [PDF]

Revista de la Facultad de Medicina, 2017
Acute corneal edema is caused by various factors, with different levels of severity, and various forms of presentation. This paper reports the case of a male patient presenting with acute corneal edema without epithelium compromise, whose clinical ...

Effects of Aberrant Pax6 Gene Dosage on Mouse Corneal Pathophysiology and Corneal Epithelial Homeostasis [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Altered dosage of the transcription factor PAX6 causes multiple human eye pathophysiologies. PAX6(+/-) heterozygotes suffer from aniridia and aniridia-related keratopathy (ARK), a corneal deterioration that probably involves a limbal ...

Core transcription regulatory circuitry orchestrates corneal epithelial homeostasis

Nature Communications, 2021
Corneal epithelium shares similar molecular signatures to other stratified epithelia. Here, the authors map super-enhancers and accessible chromatin in corneal epithelium, identifying a transcription regulatory circuit, including RUNX1, PAX6, and SMAD3 ...

Flow cytometry protocol to quantify immune cells in the separated epithelium and stroma of herpes simplex virus-1-infected mouse cornea

STAR Protocols, 2023
Summary: Existing flow cytometry approaches identify immune cells using the whole infected/inflamed cornea, which limits its ability to distinguish the immune cells infiltrating the corneal epithelium from the corneal stroma.

Mechanobiology of the corneal epithelium

Experimental Eye Research, 2018
There has been a drive to develop new cell based therapies to treat corneal blindness, one of the most common causes of blindness worldwide. Mechanical and physical cues are known to regulate the behavior of many cell types, however studies examining these effects on corneal epithelial cells have been limited in number and their findings have not ...

Low‐intensity low‐frequency ultrasound mediates riboflavin delivery during corneal crosslinking

Bioengineering & Translational Medicine, 2023
We employed the mechanical effect from 40 kHz ultrasound (US) to improve the delivery of riboflavin into corneal stroma for collagen crosslinking, which can benefit the treatment of keratoconus and other corneal ectasias.
