Engineering Retina from Human Retinal Progenitors (Cell Lines) [PDF]
Tissue Engineering Part A, 2009 Retinal degeneration resulting in the loss of photoreceptors is the leading cause of blindness. Several therapeutic protocols are under consideration for treatment of this disease. Tissue replacement is one such strategy currently being explored. However, availability of tissues for transplant poses a major obstacle.

The ratio of VEGF/PEDF expression in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells regulates neovascularization [PDF]
, 2011 Angiogenesis, or neovascularization, is a finely balanced process controlled by pro- and anti-angiogenic factors. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a major pro-angiogenic factor, whereas pigment epithelial-derived factor (PEDF) is the most ...

Retinal Endothelial Cell Apoptosis Stimulates Recruitment of Endothelial Progenitor Cells [PDF]
Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2009 Bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) contribute to vascular repair although it is uncertain how local endothelial cell apoptosis influences their reparative function. This study was conducted to determine how the presence of apoptotic bodies at sites of endothelial damage may influence participation of EPCs in retinal microvascular ...

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Clues from Crouzon: Insights into the potential role of growth factors in the pathogenesis of myelinated retinal nerve fibers. [PDF]
, 2016 PurposeWe present a case of bilateral extensive peripapillary myelinated retinal nerve fibers (MRNF) in an individual with Crouzon syndrome, an inherited form of craniosynostosis caused by overactivation of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2.

Retinal progenitor cells can produce restricted subsets of horizontal cells [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008 Retinal progenitor cells have been shown to be multipotent throughout development. Similarly, many other structures of the developing central nervous system have been found to contain multipotent progenitor cells. Previous lineage studies did not address whether these multipotent progenitor cells were biased in their production of neuronal

Chromatin remodeling protein HELLS is critical for retinoblastoma tumor initiation and progression. [PDF]
, 2020 Retinoblastoma is an aggressive childhood cancer of the developing retina that initiates by biallelic RB1 gene inactivation. Tumor progression in retinoblastoma is driven by epigenetics, as retinoblastoma genomes are stable, but the mechanism(s) that ...
