  2. 1. Retinal ganglion cell examination with Optical Coherence Tomography reflects physiological and pathological changes in the eye and the brain

    Author : Abbas Al-Hawasi; Neil Lagali; Yumin Link; Per Fagerholm; Per Söderberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Retinal ganglion cell; Retinal nerve fiber layer; Optical Coherence Tomography;

    Abstract : The retinal ganglion cell is situated in the inner retina and its axons, composing the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), leave the eye to form the optic nerve. These cells develop embryologically from the forebrain and later during development re-establish connections with different parts of the brain serving different purposes. READ MORE

  4. 2. Investigating mechanisms of angiogenesis in health and disease using zebrafish models

    Author : Zaheer Ali; Lasse D. Jensen; Neil Lagali; Massimo Santoro; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Angiogenesis, the growth of blood vessels from an existing vasculature, can occur by sprouting from preexisting vessels or by vessel splitting (intussusception). Pathological angiogenesis drives choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in age related macular degeneration (AMD) which is commonly restricted under the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), called occult CNV, but may also involve vessels penetrating through the RPE into the sub-retinal space.

  5. 3. Angiogenesis from a new perspective

    Author : Beatrice Bourghardt Peebo; Neil Lagali; Per Fagerholm; Anders Behndig; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Angiogenesis is the emergence of new blood and lymph vessels from existing ones. In the pathologic form it contributes to the onset and progression of numerous different human disorders such as cancer, inflammation, atherosclerosis and blinding eye diseases. READ MORE

  6. 4. Surgical outcomes of phototherapeutic keratectomy on Epithelial basement membrane dystrophy, and the characterisation of Bowman´s Layer

    Author : Johan Germundsson; Neil Lagali; Per Fagerholm; Jesper Hjortdal; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background. Epithelial basement membrane dystrophy (EBMD) is a common disease of the anterior cornea that can lead to problems with vision and/or painful recurrent erosions of the corneal epithelium. Several treatment options have been used, but recurrence of EBMD after treatment is a problem. READ MORE

  7. 5. Corneal stromal cell responses to traumatic wounds and topical treatments

    Author : Marina Kulikovska; Per Fagerholm; Neil Lagali; Anders Behndig; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Background. The cornea has unique anatomic, cellular, molecular, and functional features that lead to important mechanistic differences in the process of repair in comparison with what occurs in skin and other organs. The first observable stromal response in corneal wound healing is keratocyte apoptosis. READ MORE
