  4. 2. Laminins and alpha11 integrin in the human eye : importance in development and disease

    Author : Berit Byström; Fatima Pedrosa Domellöf; Ulf Stenevi; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; basement membranes; extracellular matrix; laminin; integrin; cornea; development; keratoconus; wound healing; remodeling; immunohistochemistry; Ophtalmiatrics; Oftalmiatrik;

    Abstract : The extracellular matrix (ECM) offers a protective shelter for cells and provides signaling paths important for cell to cell communication. ECM consists of basement membranes (BM) and interstitial matrix. BMs provide mechanical support for parenchymal cells, influence cell proliferation, survival, migration and differentiation.

  5. 3. OMS – Ocular motor score : a clinical method for evaluation and follow-up of ocular motor problems in children

    Author : Monica Olsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Ocular Motor Score OMS ;

    Abstract : Background: Eye movements can be a source of valuable information to clinicians. Different classes of eye movements, i.e. saccades, smooth pursuit (SP) and vestibular eye movements can be distinguished on the basis of how they aid vision. READ MORE

  6. 4. Posterior ocular malformations in children : teratological aspects

    Author : Kristina Teär Fahnehjelm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Teratology; ocular malformations; visual impairment; anti-epileptic drugs; congenital infection; optic nerve hypoplasia; coloboma; magnetic resonance imaging; neonatal cholestasis; dried blood spots;

    Abstract : Posterior ocular malformations are common causes of visual impairment in Swedish children. The most frequent diagnoses within this group are optic nerve hypoplasia and optic nerve/chorioretinal coloboma. Genetic factors, teratogens like medical/addictive drugs or congenital infections and unknown factors may cause these malformations. READ MORE

  7. 5. VEGF-mediated vascular functions in health and disease
