Glycation of nail proteins: from basic biochemical findings to a representative marker for diabetic glycation-associated target organ damage. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Although assessment of glycated nail proteins may be a useful marker for monitoring of diabetes, their nature and formation are still poorly understood. Besides a detailed anatomical analysis of keratin glycation, the usefulness of glycated nail protein ...

Keeping an eye on SOXC proteins [PDF]
Developmental Dynamics, 2014 The formation of a mature, functional eye requires a complex series of cell proliferation, migration, induction among different germinal layers, and cell differentiation. These processes are regulated by extracellular cues such as the Wnt/BMP/Hh/Fgf signaling pathways, as well as cell intrinsic transcription factors that specify cell fate.

The use of in-strip digestion for fast proteomic analysis on tear fluid from dry eye patients. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Tear is an accessible fluid for exploring biomarkers of dry eye disease. This study describes a fast proteomic method by LC-Q-orbitrap-MS analysis with in-strip digestion and investigates the tear proteome of dry eye patients. Schirmer's strips were used

Profiling tear proteomes of patients with unilateral relapsed Behcet’s disease-associated uveitis using data-independent acquisition proteomics [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Purpose To explore whether unilateral relapse of Bechet’s disease-associated uveitis (BDU) causes differences in the tear proteome between the diseased and the contralateral quiescent eye and potential tear biomarkers for uveitis recurrence and disease ...

Region-resolved multi-omics of the mouse eye
Cell Reports, 2023 Summary: The eye is a complex organ consisting of multiple compartments with unique and specialized properties, and small disturbances in one eye region can result in impaired vision and blindness. Although there have been advancements in ocular research,

Metallothioneins, a Part of the Retinal Endogenous Protective System in Various Ocular Diseases
Antioxidants, 2023 Metallothioneins are the metal-rich proteins that play important roles in metal homeostasis and detoxification. Moreover, these proteins protect cells against oxidative stress, inhibit proapoptotic mechanisms and enhance cell differentiation and survival.

The multi-functional eyes absent proteins [PDF]
Critical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2020 The Eyes Absent (EYA) proteins are the only known instance of a single polypeptide housing the following three separable biochemical activities: tyrosine phosphatase, threonine phosphatase, and transactivation. This uniquely positions the EYAs to participate in both transcriptional regulation and signal transduction pathways.

The Eyes Absent proteins in development and disease [PDF]
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2012 The Eyes Absent (EYA) proteins, first described in the context of fly eye development, are now implicated in processes as disparate as organ development, innate immunity, DNA damage repair, photoperiodism, angiogenesis, and cancer metastasis. These functions are associated with an unusual combination of biochemical activities: tyrosine phosphatase and ...

Journal of Ophthalmic Inflammation and Infection, 2020 Purpose To determine whether unilateral acute anterior uveitis (AAU) induces ipsilateral changes in the tear fluid proteome. Methods Five patients (25–77 years old) with unilateral AAU were included. Tear fluid samples were obtained using Schirmer’s test
