DOI: 10.1016/j.mehy.2021.110699
Abstract: Keratoconus (KC) is a noninflammatory, bilateral, progressive corneal stromal thinning disorder that leads to corneal ectasia, central anterior corneal stromal scarring, irregular myopic astigmatism, and reduced visual acuity. Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is bilateral,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2021.721488
Abstract: Vitamin D is an essential micronutrient whose demand is heightened during pregnancy to support the growth of the fetus. Furthermore, the fetus does not produce vitamin D and hence relies exclusively on the supply of… read more here.
