Corneal absorption of a new riboflavin-nanostructured system for transepithelial collagen cross-linking. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) has been described as a promising therapy for keratoconus. According to standard CXL protocol, epithelium should be debrided before treatment to allow penetration of riboflavin into the corneal stroma.

Co-Overexpression of RIB1 and RIB6 Increases Riboflavin Production in the Yeast Candida famata

open access: yesFermentation, 2022
Riboflavin or vitamin B2 is a water-soluble vitamin and a precursor of flavin coenzymes, flavin mononucleotide, and flavin adenine dinucleotide, which play a key role as enzyme cofactors in energy metabolism.
