Transthyretin levels in the vitreous correlate with change in visual acuity after vitrectomy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background/aim: Little is known about biochemical markers related to change in visual acuity after vitrectomy. The potential use of transthyretin (TTR), a carrier of the retinol/retinol-binding protein, as a biochemical marker protein, was investigated ...

Safety Assessment and Hypoglycemic Effect of Moringa oleifera Lam. Seed Lectin (WSMoL) in Alloxan‐Induced Diabetic Mice

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Moringa oleifera Lam. seeds contain WSMoL, a lectin previously studied for toxicity and pharmacological effects. In this study, we investigated WSMoL (10, 25, or 50 mg/kg i.p.) for acute and 14‐day repeated‐dose toxicity, as well as genotoxicity, in Swiss mice.

In vitro expanded stem cells from the developing retina fail to generate photoreceptors but differentiate into myelinating oligodendrocytes.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Cell transplantation to treat retinal degenerative diseases represents an option for the replacement of lost photoreceptor cells. In vitro expandable cells isolated from the developing mammalian retina have been suggested as a potential source for the ...

Molecular characterization of retinal stem cells and their niches in adult zebrafish [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background The persistence in adult teleost fish of retinal stem cells that exhibit all of the features of true 'adult stem cells' – self-renewal, multipotency, and the capacity to respond to injury by mitotic activation with the ability ...

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: Molecular Staging, Risk Factors, Therapeutics, and Emerging Trends

open access: yesMed Research, EarlyView.
The heterogeneous landscape of DPN can be unified through a tripartite pathogenic model encompassing progressive stages of metabolic dysregulation, chronic inflammation, and overt neuronal damage. Within this framework, six clinical subtypes were identified, namely, hyperglycemia‐driven, dyslipidemia‐driven, inflammation‐driven, dysvascularity‐driven ...

Brain Pericytes and Wnt/β‐Catenin Signaling Induce Functional Blood–Brain Barrier Phenotype in Human iPSC‐Derived Model

open access: yesSmall Methods, EarlyView.
This study shows that human iPSC‐derived endothelial cells acquire a functional blood–brain barrier phenotype when co‐cultured with brain pericytes and stimulated with CHIR‐99021, a Wnt/β‐catenin activator. This model recapitulates key barrier properties, inflammatory responses, and transcriptomic features of the native human BBB, offering new ...

Retinal stem/progenitor properties of iris pigment epithelial cells

open access: yesDevelopmental Biology, 2006
Neural stem cells/progenitors that give rise to neurons and glia have been identified in different regions of the brain, including the embryonic retina and ciliary epithelium of the adult eye. Here, we first demonstrate the characterization of neural stem/progenitors in postnatal iris pigment epithelial (IPE) cells.

Endothelial progenitor cells in diabetic retinopathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of visual impairment worldwide. Patients with DR may irreversibly lose sight as a result of the development of diabetic macular oedema (DMO) and/or proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR); retinal blood ...

Staging concept for aging management: Definition, mechanism, and coping strategies

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
We divided the overall aging stage into “pre‐aging”, “aging compensation”, and “aging disability”. For each stage, we delineate the clinical presentations, biological phenomena, theoretical underpinnings, and key management priorities. Abstract Aging, as a gradual and largely irreversible biological process, characterized by declining organismal ...
