Abstract: Small non-coding RNAs, in particular microRNAs (miRNAs), regulate fine-tuning of gene expression and can impact a wide range of biological processes. However, their roles in normal and diseased limbal epithelial stem cells (LESC) remain unknown.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ndt/gfab097.006
Abstract: Vascular calcification is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. In maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, it has been reported that vascular calcification can be detected not only in coronary vessels, but also in ocular areas. Ophthalmic… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics13101718
Abstract: Patients with severe limbal damage and limbal stem cell deficiency are a therapeutic challenge. We evaluated four decellularization protocols applied to the full-thickness and half-thickness porcine limbus, and we used two cell types to recellularize… read more here.
