Model Eyes

Lab-cultured tissue models or organoids derived from mouse and human conjunctiva – the eye's surface membrane – allow study of eye health and disease, including viral infections and their treatments, and developing grafts to mend damage

It may be brought on by a number of things, such as bacterial or viral infections, allergies, irritants, or even underlying medical concerns.

New Paper Published - Is exposure to ECM sufficient to cause epithelial transdifferentiation?

New paper out in Frontiers in Medicine (free), from Tiago Ramos. Tiago did his PhD at the University of Liverpool with primary supervisor of Saj Ahmad, a clinical researcher who has moved to Moorefields in London. His work focused on the question; why do apparently terminally differentiated conjunctival cells change when they grow over the cornea? It turns out (unsurprisingly to regulars on…

2 New papers out – Comprehensive reviews of conjunctival ECM and replacement strategies

Two linked review articles “The conjunctival extracellular matrix, related disorders and development of substrates for conjunctival restoration” and “Biological tissues and components, and synthetic substrates for conjunctival cell transplantation” were published in The Ocular Surface recently. You can access the first paper for free via this link for the next 50 days, and the second one as…
