Development of Cell Culture Platforms for Study of Trabecular Meshwork Cells and Glaucoma Development
AbstractBackground:Various cell culture platforms that could display native environmental cue-mimicking stimuli were developed, and effects of environmental cues on cell behaviors were studied with the cell culture platforms. Likewise, various cell culture platforms mimicking native trabecular meshwork (TM) composed of juxtacanalicular, corneoscleral and uveal meshwork located in internal scleral sulcus were used to study effects of environmental cues and/or drug treatments on TM cells and glaucoma development. Glaucoma is a disease that could cause blindness, and cause of glaucoma is not clearly identified yet. It appears...

Modulation of Inflammatory Responses to Enhance Nerve Recovery after Spinal Cord Injury
AbstractInflammation can occur at the wound site, and immune cells are necessary to trigger wound healing and tissue regeneration after injury. It is partly initiated by the rapid migration of immune cells such as neutrophils, inflammatory monocytes, and macrophages after spinal cord injury (SCI). Secondary inflammation can increase the wound area; thus, the function of tissues below the injury levels. Monocytes can differentiate into macrophages, and the macrophage phenotype can change from a pro-inflammatory phenotype to an anti-inflammatory phenotype. Therefore, various studies on immunomodulation have been performed to...
