All life forms have evolved under the constant force of gravity on Earth and developed ways
to counterbalance acceleration load. In space, shear forces, buoyance-driven convection …

Intense exposure to light, robust metabolic activity, and high oxygen tension render the
human eye particularly vulnerable to oxidative damage and the list of ophthalmological …

The permeability transition pore (PTP) is a mitochondrial channel whose opening causes
the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ) collapse that leads to apoptosis. Some …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of topical mitomycin C in corneal wound healing (CWH)
after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in highly myopic eyes. DESIGN: Prospective, double …

Purpose.: To evaluate if coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) can protect retinal ganglion cells (RGCs)
from apoptosis and, when instilled as eye drops on the cornea, if it can reach the retina and …

Ocular neurodegenerative diseases such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and age-
related macular degeneration are common retinal diseases responsible for most of the …

Corneal haze represents subepithelial corneal fibrosis, a manifestation of a pathological
healing process. It occurs as a result of an epithelial-stromal lesion involving a break in the …

Background Cornea protects the eye against natural and anthropogenic ultraviolet (UV)
damage and mechanical injury. Corneal incisions produced by UV lasers in ophthalmic …

The aim of this study was to investigate whether induction of Hsp70 expression by co-
enzyme Q10 (Q10) treatment protects chicken primary myocardial cells (CPMCs) from …

The key pathogenetic event of many retinopathies is apoptosis of retinal cells. Our previous
studies have demonstrated that Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) prevents apoptosis of corneal …
