Elevation of Tear MMP-9 Concentration as a Biomarker of Inflammation in Ocular Pathology by Antibody Microarray Immunodetection Assays
(MDPI, 2022-05-18)
Matrix metalloproteinases are a family of enzymes fundamental in inflammatory processes. Between them, MMP-9 is up-regulated during inflammation; thus, its quantification in non-invasive fluids is a promising approach for ...
Characteristics of Whale Muller Glia in Primary and Immortalized Cultures
(Frontiers Media, 2022)
[EN] Muller cells are the principal glial cells in the retina and they assume many of the functions carried out by astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and ependymal cells in other regions of the central nervous system. Muller ...
Potential Tear Biomarkers for the Diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease—A Pilot Study
(MDPI, 2022-01-13)
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer’s disease. In this study, the tear proteome profile of patients with idiopathic PD (iPD, n = 24), carriers of the E46K-SNCA ...
Comparative study of the lipid profile of tears and plasma enriched in growth factors.
(Elsevier, 2022-06)
[EN] The Tear Film Lipid Layer (TFLL) acts primarily as an interface between the aqueous layer and air. Tear film lipid is composed of a thin layer of polar lipids that interact with the secretory layer of the underlying ...
Immunohistochemical Characterisation of the Whale Retina
(Frontiers Media, 2022)
[EN] The eye of the largest adult mammal in the world, the whale, offers a unique opportunity to study the evolution of the visual system and its adaptation to aquatic environments. However, the difficulties in obtaining ...
