In the cornea, resident immune cells are in close proximity to sensory nerves, consistent with
their important roles in the maintenance of nerves in both homeostasis and inflammation …

A key element of contact lens practice involves clinical evaluation of anterior eye health,
including the cornea and limbus, conjunctiva and sclera, eyelids and eyelashes, lacrimal …

A significant amount of clinical and research interest in thrombosis is focused on large
vessels (eg, stroke, myocardial infarction, deep venous thrombosis, etc.); however …

As the cornea is densely innervated, its nerves are integral not only to its structure but also to
its pathophysiology. Corneal integrity depends on a protective tear film that is maintained by …

Laser scanning in vivo confocal microscopy is a useful clinical tool to assess the corneal
nerves in human and laboratory animals. With this new technology, the use of terms such as …

Serial block-face scanning electron microscopy (SBF-SEM) allows for the collection of
hundreds to thousands of serially-registered ultrastructural images, offering an …

Ascariasis is one of the most common infections in the world and associated with significant
global morbidity. Ascaris larval migration through the host's lungs is essential for larval …

Purpose How sensory neurons and epithelial cells interact with one another, and whether
this association can be considered an indicator of health or disease is yet to be elucidated …

The intraepithelial corneal nerves (ICNs) that innervate the corneal epithelium are
maintained through interactions with corneal epithelial cells and the extracellular matrix they …

Purpose: The corneal epithelium is the most highly innervated structure in the body.
Previously, we reported a novel event whereby stromal axons fuse with basal epithelial …
