TFOS DEWS II pain and sensation report

Carlos Belmonte, +16 more
- 01 Jul 2017 - 
TL;DR: Pain associated with mechanical, chemical, and thermal heat stimulation of the ocular surface is mediated by trigeminal ganglion neurons, while cold thermoreceptors detect wetness and reflexly maintain basal tear production and blinking rate, thereby evoking dryness sensations and pain.
Journal ArticleDOI

The corneal stroma is endowed with a significant number of resident dendritic cells.

Pedram Hamrah, +3 more
- 01 Feb 2003 - 
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that, in addition to the known Langerhans cells in the corneal epithelium, at least three BM-derived cell subsets reside in the normal corneale stroma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Corneal immunity is mediated by heterogeneous population of antigen-presenting cells

Pedram Hamrah, +4 more
- 01 Aug 2003 - 
TL;DR: Recent data are presented demonstrating that the central cornea is indeed endowed with a heterogeneous population of epithelial and stromal DC, which function as APC, and suggesting that the corneal system is capable of diverse cellular mechanisms for antigen presentation.
Journal Article

Novel characterization of MHC class II-negative population of resident corneal Langerhans cell-type dendritic cells.

Pedram Hamrah, +3 more
- 01 Mar 2002 - 
TL;DR: The present study demonstrates for the first time the phenotype and distribution of MHC class II-negative LCs in the murine corneal epithelium and changes in activation markers may provide additional information for devising novel immunomodulatory strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Corneal Sensation and Subbasal Nerve Alterations in Patients with Herpes Simplex Keratitis: An In Vivo Confocal Microscopy Study

Pedram Hamrah, +7 more
- 01 Oct 2010 - 
TL;DR: In vivo confocal microscopy revealed that the loss of corneal sensation in HSK correlates strongly with profound diminishment of the subbasal nerve plexus after herpes simplex virus infection.
