Purpose: To report the lethal course of malignant transformation of retinoma in an adult. Methods: Case report. A 40-year-old patient presented with retinoma in his right eye and retinoblastoma in his left eye. Enucleation was recommended but refused and t ...
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is clinically-approved in the treatment of angiogenic disorders, particularly eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and skin cancers, such as basal cell carcinoma. PDT causes vascular occlusion resulting in ...
The major active retinoid, all-trans retinoic acid, has long been recognized as critical for the development of several organs, including the eye. Mutations in STRA6, the gene encoding the cellular receptor for vitamin A, in patients with MatthewWood syndr ...
We show that digital holography can be combined easily with optical coherence tomography approach. Varying the reference path length is the means used to acquire a series of holograms at different depths, providing after reconstruction images of slices at ...
Ocular tissues are highly dependent on lipid turnover and metabolism, which requires an uptake mechanism for fatty acids from lipoproteins. We studied the activity and expression of lipoprotein lipase (LPL), which catalyzes the hydrolysis of plasma triglyc ...
Glaucoma results in an increase in the resistance of the aqueous humor outflow, which in turn leads to an increase of the intraocular pressure (IOP). Several treatments are proposed to reduce and stabilize the IOP that include medications, filtering surger ...
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in the world. It results in an increase of the aqueous humour (AH) outflow pathway which leads to an increase of the intraocular pressure (IOP). Many treatments exists to reduce and stabilize the IOP such ...
Purpose: Discs large (dlg), scribble (scrib), and lethal giant larvae (lgl) are major suppressor genes in Drosophila melanogaster. They encode proteins that regulate cell polarity and cell proliferation in Drosophila and mammals. However, their basic oncog ...
The integrity of the cornea, the most anterior part of the eye, is indispensable for vision. Forty- five million individuals worldwide are bilaterally blind and another 135 million have severely impaired vision in both eyes because of loss of corneal trans ...
Integrity and preservation of a transparent cornea are essential for good vision. The corneal epithelium is stratified and nonkeratinized and is maintained and repaired by corneal stem cells. Here we demonstrate that Notch1 signaling is essential for cell ...
