Those are Your Legs: The Effect of Visuo-Spatial Viewpoint on Visuo-Tactile Integration and Body Ownership

Experiencing a body part as one's own, i.e., body ownership, depends on the integration of multisensory bodily signals (including visual, tactile, and proprioceptive information) with the visual top down signals from peripersonal space. Although it has bee ...

Notch signaling in the pigmented epithelium of the anterior eye segment promotes ciliary body development at the expense of iris formation

Freddy Radtke, Friedrich Beermann, Craig Nowell, Bhushan Sarode

The ciliary body and iris are pigmented epithelial structures in the anterior eye segment that function to maintain correct intra-ocular pressure and regulate exposure of the internal eye structures to light, respectively. The cellular and molecular factor ...

A New Noninvasively Adjustable Glaucoma Drainage Device

Adan Villamarin

Glaucoma is an irreversible disease affecting the eye, leading to progressive loss of vision and eventually to total blindness. It is often related to high intraocular pressure (IOP), which results from increased outflow resistance to aqueous humor. The fi ...

LRIG1 inhibits STAT3-dependent inflammation to maintain corneal homeostasis

Yann Barrandon, Andrea Zaffalon

Corneal integrity and transparency are indispensable for good vision. Cornea homeostasis is entirely dependent upon corneal stem cells, which are required for complex wound-healing processes that restore corneal integrity following epithelial damage. Here, ...

Notch Signaling in Pigment Cells and Generation of Mouse Models for Ocular Diseases

Bhushan Sarode

Cellular signaling mediated by Notch receptors results in coordinated regulation of cell growth, survival and differentiation. In melanocytes, Notch signaling is essential for the maintenance of melanocytes and the melanocyte stem cell population. Whereas, ...

Body Context and Posture Affect Mental Imagery of Hands

Olaf Blanke, Bogdan Draganski, Silvio Ionta

Different visual stimuli have been shown to recruit different mental imagery strategies. However the role of specific visual stimuli properties related to body context and posture in mental imagery is still under debate. Aiming to dissociate the behavioura ...

A Male with Unilateral Microphthalmia Reveals a Role for TMX3 in Eye Development

Yao Zhang, Pooja Agarwal

Anophthalmia and microphthalmia are important birth defects, but their pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. We studied a patient with severe unilateral microphthalmia who had a 2.7 Mb deletion at chromosome 18q22.1 that was inherited from his moth ...

Simulation of the Outflow Pathway in the Human Eye

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Sylvain Roy, Philippe Reymond, Andreas Schmocker, Orestis Vardoulis

The eye structure and function highly depend on the stability of the intraocular pressure (IOP). Glaucoma is an ophthalmic disease that can potentially lead to irreversible blindness. Glaucoma results from optic nerve damages due to persistent elevated IOP ...

Design and validation of a telemetrically drived implantable glaucoma drainage device

Adan Villamarin

Glaucoma is one of the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world and it usually occurs when the pressure inside the eyes gradually rises, permanently damaging the optic nerve. Medications and filtering surgery are two possible therapies availabl ...
