  2. 6. Underlying genetic mechanisms of hereditary dystrophies in retina and cornea

    Author : Jonsson Frida; Irina Golovleva; Carlo Rivolta; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cornea; retina; gene; mutation detection; inherited diseases; genetik; Genetics;

    Abstract : Inherited retinal and corneal dystrophies represent a group of disorders with great genetic heterogeneity. Over 250 genes are associated with retinal diseases and 16 genes are causative of corneal dystrophies. READ MORE

  5. 8. Keeping up with retinal photoreceptors and horizontal cells : Labelling and mapping of cells in the normal and diseased embryonic chicken retina

    Author : Maria Blixt; Finn Hallböök; Maria Valeria Canto-Soler; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Chicken; electroporation; horizontal cells; photoreceptors; retina; piggyBac;

    Abstract : The childhood eye cancer retinoblastoma originates from the retina and its development is initiated while the foetus is in the uterus. Retinoblastoma has a reported incidence of 1 in 15-18 000 live births, and approximately 90% of all patients are diagnosed before the age of 5. READ MORE

  6. 9. Modulation of the Progenitor Cell and Homeostatic Capacities of Müller Glia Cells in Retina : Focus on α2-Adrenergic and Endothelin Receptor Signaling Systems

    Author : Mohammad Harun-Or-Rashid; Finn Hallböök; Per Ekström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alpha2-adrenergic receptor; Brimonidine; Brn3a; Dedifferentiation; Endothelin; EGFR; ERK1 2; Neuroprotection; NMDA; MIO-M1 human Müller cell; Müller cells; Retina; Retinal ganglion cells; Src-kinase; Transactivation.; Medical Science; Medicinsk vetenskap;

    Abstract : Müller cells are major glial cells in the retina and have a broad range of functions that are vital for the retinal neurons. During retinal injury gliotic response either leads to Müller cell dedifferentiation and formation of a retinal progenitor or to maintenance of mature Müller cell functions. READ MORE

  7. 10. Experimental Vitreous Substitution

    Author : Henrik Barth; Lund Oftalmologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Retinal Detachment; Vitreous Body : surgery; Retina cytology metabolism surgery; Retina: Function; Retina: Inflammation; Retinal Detachment; Vitreous Body : surgery; Vitreous substitute; Vitrectomy;

    Abstract : Blindness and visual disability are common following vitreoretinal pathologies such as open globe injury, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). These conditions often necessitate surgical intervention using vitrectomy with a tamponading vitreous substitute. READ MORE
