The impact of early RPE cell junction loss on VEGF, Ang-2, and TIMP secretion in vitro
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest a correlation between loss of junctions, abnormal angiogenic protein secretion, and reduced OS phagocytosis. Furthermore, Ang-2 and TIMP-1 proteins might be beneficial targets for AMD treatments, and their roles in retinal diseases deserve further investigation.PMID:37859808 | PMC:PMC10584031 (Source: Molecular Vision)

Collagen crosslinking impacts stromal wound healing and haze formation in a rabbit phototherapeutic keratectomy model
CONCLUSIONS: We showed that stromal haze formation and stromal stiffness is significantly increased following CXL, regardless of whether it is performed at or before the time of PTK. Further knowledge of the biophysical cues involved in determining corneal wound healing duration and outcomes will be important for understanding scarring following CXL and for the development of improved therapeutic options.PMID:37859806 | PMC:PMC10584030 (Source: Molecular Vision)
