Enzyme Therapy: Current Challenges and Future Perspectives
(MDPI, 2021-08-25)
In recent years, enzymes have risen as promising therapeutic tools for different pathologies, from metabolic deficiencies, such as fibrosis conditions, ocular pathologies or joint problems, to cancer or cardiovascular ...
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 ...
Dexamethasone Protects Retinal Ganglion Cells But Not Muller Glia Against Hyperglycemia In Vitro
(Public Library Science, 2018-11-26)
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common complication of diabetes, for which hyperglycemia is a major etiological factor. It is known that retinal glia (Muller cells) and retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are affected by diabetes, ...
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 lipidomic analysis of mammalian retinal ganglion cells and Muller glia in situ and in vitro using High-Resolution Imaging Mass Spectrometry
(Nature, 2020-11-18)
In order to better understand retinal physiology, alterations to which underlie some ocular diseases, we set out to establish the lipid signature of two fundamental cell types in the retina, Muller Glia and Retinal Ganglion ...
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 ...
The Effect of Plasma Rich in Growth Factors on Microglial Migration, Macroglial Gliosis and Proliferation, and Neuronal Survival
(Frontiers Media, 2021-02-26)
Plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) is a subtype of platelet-rich plasma that has being employed in the clinic due to its capacity to accelerate tissue regeneration. Autologous PRGF has been used in ophthalmology to repair ...
Plasma Rich in Growth Factors (PRGF) Increases the Number of Retinal Muller Glia in Culture but Not the Survival of Retinal Neurons
(Frontiers Media, 2021-03-09)
Plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) is a subtype of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) that stimulates tissue regeneration and may promote neuronal survival. It has been employed in ophthalmology to achieve tissue repair in some ...
A Pilot Study of a Panel of Ocular Inflammation Biomarkers in Patients with Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome
(MDPI, 2023-04-01)
Ocular diseases have a strong impact on individuals, the effects of which extend from milder visual impairment to blindness. Due to this and to their prevalence, these conditions constitute important health, social and ...
The role of Eudragit® as a component of hydrogel formulations for medical devices
(RSC, 2023)
Over the last decade, significant progress has been made in developing hydrogels as medical devices. By physically cross-linking pharmaceutically approved polymers into three-dimensional matrices, we can ensure their ...
