  2. 1. 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

  4. 2. Ultraviolet radiation and cornea

    Author : Alexander Podskochy; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Cornea; UVR; keratocytes; apoptosis; Fas ligand; hyaluronan; biglycan; rabbit; wound healing.;

    Abstract : Background: Acute exposure of the mammalian eye to UVR results in development of photokeratitis after a period of a few hours. Chronic exposure to UVR is associated with an increased risk of several corneal disorders, including pterygium, climatic droplet keratopathy, and climatic proteoglycan stromal keratopathy. READ MORE

  5. 3. Arachidonic acid metabolism in corneal epithelial cells : Identification of lipoxygenase isoforms

    Author : Maria Liminga; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmaceutical biosciences; Cornea; cDNA cloning; lipoxygenase; liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry; organ culture; Farmaceutisk biovetenskap; Biopharmacy; Biofarmaci; farmaceutisk farmakologi; Pharmaceutical Pharmacology;

    Abstract : The metabolism of arachidonic acid in the human cornea was investigated and compared with the metabolism in cattle and primates. All three species showed significant arachidonic acid metabolism inthe epithelium, whereas the activity in the stroma and the endothelium was low or undetectable. READ MORE

  6. 4. Cystatin C in the Eye and in Specific Model Systems

    Author : Johan Wasselius; Lund Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ophtalmology; protein uptake; ciliary body; lens; cornea; retina; eye; Cystatin C; cathepsin B; Oftalmologi;

    Abstract : It is a necessity of life to make proteins, and it is an equal necessity to degrade those proteins, to eliminate dysfunctional proteins, and leave room for new ones. The processes of protein synthesis and degradation into peptides - proteolysis - have attracted a great interest during the last decades. READ MORE

  7. 5. Two New Corneal Diseases Characterized by Recurrent Erosions

    Author : Björn Hammar; Per Fagerholm; Erik Björck; Minna Vesaluoma; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Cornea; Corneal Dystrophy; Dystrophia Smolandiensis; Dystrophia Helsinglandica; Recurrent Erosions; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Recurrent corneal erosions are a common complication of superficial corneal wounds. They most commonly arise following a trauma, in association with various corneal dystrophies, or are idiopathic. READ MORE
