Chrysin attenuates diabetes‐induced retinal injury by inhibiting microglial GBP3/NLRP3/GSDMD‐mediated pyroptosis

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
We investigated the therapeutic potential and mechanism of chrysin in experimental diabetic retinal disease. Using a streptozotocin (STZ)‐induced diabetic mouse model and high‐glucose‐stimulated BV2 microglia, we revealed chrysin‐responsive pyroptosis‐associated signatures and identified GBP3 as a regulated node.

A proper protocol for isolation of retinal pigment epithelium from rabbit eyes

open access: yesAdvanced Biomedical Research, 2014
Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a hexagonal monolayer of pigmented cells located between the neural retina and the choroid with an essential role for visual function. So, isolation, propagation and maintenance of their functional integrity of RPE are crucial for research in vitro which next used for cell transplantation.

Long-Term PEDF Release in Rat Iris and Retinal Epithelial Cells after Sleeping Beauty Transposon-Mediated Gene Delivery

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2017
Pigment epithelium derived factor (PEDF) is a potent antiangiogenic, neurotrophic, and neuroprotective molecule that is the endogenous inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the retina.

Near-infrared transillumination imaging combined with aperture photometry for the quantification of melanin in the iris pigment epithelium.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Near-infrared transillumination is used in the diagnosis and the management of different eye diseases. In particular, it enables the visualization of melanin in the pigment epithelium of the iris.

Understanding the spacing of placodes in the eye: A comparative study across age and species

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The conjunctival placodes of the avian eye form in an intriguing and conserved sequence in a circular annulus around the cornea. These 13–16 placodes develop into papillae that are essential for inducing underlying intramembranous flat bones, known as scleral ossicles, which form an important part of the ocular skeleton.

Idiopathic pigmented vitreous cyst without autofluorescence: a case report

open access: yesBMC Ophthalmology, 2017
Background Vitreous cysts are rare clinical findings and seldom cause visual disturbance. They are generally classified as congenital or acquired and are considered idiopathic when the etiology can not be determined.

Status and future of recombinant adeno‐associated virus vector manufacturing

open access: yesBiotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
Abstract Sixty years of adeno‐associated virus (AAV) research illustrates a trajectory marked by basic science exploration, iterative innovation, persistent challenges, a number of clinical setbacks, as well as commercial therapeutic triumphs. This continual evolution has led to recombinant AAV (rAAV) becoming a cornerstone of modern gene therapy ...

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.

Generation of three induced pluripotent stem cell lines from type 2 diabetic patients with ocular complications

open access: yesStem Cell Research, 2020
Retinopathy is a well-known ocular complication that occurs in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Recent evidence also indicates that diabetic patients have an increased prevalence of dry eye syndrome.

Secretopathies emerge as a new class of neurocristopathies

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient embryonic population of cells that give rise to a wide range of structures, including craniofacial cartilage and bone, peripheral neurons and glia, as well as components of the cardiac outflow tract, among others.
