Corneal dystrophies are broadly defined as inherited disorders that affect any layer of the
cornea and are usually progressive, bilateral conditions that do not have systemic effects …

Introduction Protein aggregation and deposition of uniformly arranged amyloid fibrils in the
form of plaques or amorphous aggregates is characteristic of amyloid diseases. The …

Background: Scavenger receptors Stabilin-1 (Stab1) and Stabilin-2 (Stab2) are preferentially
expressed by liver sinusoidal endothelial cells. They mediate the clearance of circulating …

Adult stem cell identity, plasticity, and homeostasis are precisely orchestrated by lineage-
restricted epigenetic and transcriptional regulatory networks. Here, by integrating super …

Transforming growth factor-β-induced protein (TGFBIp), an extracellular matrix protein, is the
second most abundant protein in the corneal stroma. In this review, we summarize the …

Several studies have suggested that extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and the
microenvironment are tightly associated with adipogenesis and adipose angiogenesis. In …

Purpose To provide a brief summary and comparison of the most recent literature on
available and theorized treatment modalities for classic lattice corneal dystrophy (LCD). This …

Protein aggregation has been one of the leading triggers of various disease conditions, such
as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other amyloidosis. TGFBI-associated corneal dystrophies …
