Raman Analysis of Tear Fluid Alteration Following Contact Lense Use

Sensors, 2019
Tear fluid is a heterogeneous solution containing mainly proteins, lipids, mucins and electrolytes, which regulates the physiology of the human eye. The complex composition of tears can be altered in the presence of eye inflammations.

The Eyes Absent Proteins in Developmental and Pathological Angiogenesis [PDF]

The American Journal of Pathology, 2016
Management of neoangiogenesis remains a high-value therapeutic goal. A recently uncovered association between the DNA damage repair pathway and pathological angiogenesis could open previously unexplored possibilities for intervention. An attractive and novel target is the Eyes absent (EYA) tyrosine phosphatase, which plays a critical role in the repair

Derivation and characterization of retinal pigment epithelium from urine‐derived iPSCs

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Age‐related macular degeneration causes vision loss via RPE dysfunction and loss. Traditional iPSC therapies rely on invasive biopsies, limiting scalability. Here, we utilize urine‐derived stem cells as an accessible source to generate u‐iPSCs, successfully differentiated into pigmented RPE. This “Urine‐to‐Retina” platform provides a promising path for

A screen for E3 ubiquitination ligases that genetically interact with the adaptor protein Cindr during Drosophila eye patterning. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Ubiquitination is a crucial post-translational modification that can target proteins for degradation. The E3 ubiquitin ligases are responsible for recognizing substrate proteins for ubiquitination, hence providing specificity to the process of protein ...

Candidate Molecular Compounds as Potential Indicators for Meibomian Gland Dysfunction

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is the leading cause of dry eye disease throughout the world. Studies have shown that several molecules in meibum, including but not limited to interleukins, amino acids, cadherins, eicosanoids, carbohydrates, and ...

Multiple functions of LIM domain-binding CLIM/NLI/Ldb cofactors during zebrafish development

, 2002
The crucial involvement of CLIM/NLI/Ldb cofactors for the exertion of the biological activity of LIM homeodomain transcription factors (LIM-HD) has been demonstrated.

Acute caffeine treatment protects the developing retina from ischemia‐induced cell death

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Caffeine reduces cell death in the developing retina under ischemia (OGD). This effect does not involve BDNF upregulation or antioxidant pathways (NRF2/VEGF). Neuroprotection occurs mainly through adenosine A2A receptor antagonism, decreasing glutamate release and excitotoxicity, highlighting caffeine's potential as an acute neuroprotective agent in ...

Chronic environmental temperature affects protein expression in the eye of adult zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Scientific Reports
Vision in vertebrates is mediated by the eye, a complex organ with developmental and functional similarities to the central nervous system. Eye proteomics has emerged as a powerful tool for investigating ocular function and disease mechanisms, including ...

Drosophila photoreceptors and signaling mechanisms

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2009
Fly eyes have been a useful biological system in which fundamental principles of sensory signaling have been elucidated. The physiological optics of the fly compound eye, which was discovered in the Musca, Calliphora and Drosophila flies, has been widely

Proteome-wide quantitative analysis of redox cysteine availability in the Drosophila melanogaster eye reveals oxidation of phototransduction machinery during blue light exposure and age

Redox Biology, 2023
The retina is one of the highest oxygen-consuming tissues because visual transduction and light signaling processes require large amounts of ATP. Thus, because of the high energy demand, oxygen-rich environment, and tissue transparency, the eye is ...
