Recent advances of exosomes in immune-mediated eye diseases
Stem cell research & therapeutics, 2019 Exosomes, nanosized extracellular vesicles of 30–150 nm, are shed by almost all cell types. Bearing proteins, lipids, RNAs, and DNAs, exosomes have emerged as vital biological mediators in cell-to-cell communication, affecting a plethora of physiological

A thermo-responsive protein treatment for dry eyes [PDF]
Journal of Controlled Release, 2015 Millions of Americans suffer from dry eye disease, and there are few effective therapies capable of treating these patients. A decade ago, an abundant protein component of human tears was discovered and named lacritin (Lacrt). Lacrt has prosecretory activity in the lacrimal gland and mitogenic activity at the corneal epithelium.

Functions of retinal astrocytes and Müller cells in mammalian myopia
BMC Ophthalmology, 2022 Background Changes in the retina and choroid blood vessels are regularly observed in myopia. However, if the retinal glial cells, which directly contact blood vessels, play a role in mammalian myopia is unknown. We aimed to explore the potential role and

Circadian rhythms in the Drosophila eye may regulate adaptation of vision to light intensity
Frontiers in NeuroscienceThe sensitivity of the eye at night would lead to complete saturation of the eye during the day. Therefore, the sensitivity of the eye must be down-regulated during the day to maintain visual acuity.
