Mechanical Strain Regulates Myofibroblast Differentiation of Human Scleral Fibroblasts by YAP

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Scleral extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling is thought to play a critical role in the pathogenesis of glaucoma. Mechanical strain induced by elevated intraocular pressure can promote myofibroblast differentiation of fibroblasts and result in scleral ...

Minocycline and bone marrow–derived mononuclear cells as potential therapeutics for hereditary retinal degenerations

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To assess in Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) rats if the combination of two previously documented neuroprotective strategies: minocycline administration and bone marrow–derived mononuclear cells (BM‐MNCs) intravitreal transplantation, offers enhanced neuroprotection compared with each treatment alone.

Altered cytoskeletal integrity underlies impaired platelet shape change and defective thrombus formation in ETV6‐related thrombocytopenia

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary ETV6‐related thrombocytopenia (ETV6‐RT) is an inherited platelet disorder caused by germline ETV6 variants. Despite recent progress, the mechanisms underlying platelet dysfunction in ETV6‐RT remain unclear. We investigated 12 patients from six families using functional assays, electron microscopy, quantitative proteomics and cytoskeletal ...
