Journal ArticleDOI
A Novel Peptide Hydrogel for an Antimicrobial Bandage Contact Lens.
Andrew G. Gallagher,Jamal A. Alorabi,Donald A. Wellings,Rebecca Lace,Mal J. Horsburgh,Rachel Williams +5 more
TL;DR: A peptide hydrogel with an antimicrobial activity is developed as a bandage contact lens that is positive against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli and of great potential as a drug-eluting bandage lens replacing conventional corneal ulcer treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomaterials for Regenerative Medicine Approaches for the Anterior Segment of the Eye.
TL;DR: There is a real clinical need for new procedures to overcome vision loss but there are also opportunities for developments in ocular applications to lead to biomaterials innovations for use in other clinical areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Targeting Ocular Drug Delivery: An Examination of Local Anatomy and Current Approaches
Emily Dosmar,Julia Walsh,Michael Doyel,Katlynn Bussett,Adekite Oladipupo,Sabri Amer,Katherine Goebel +6 more
TL;DR: The anatomy and key cells of these four primary drug delivery routes as well as the interface between drug and drug delivery systems and the anatomy are explored, reviewing the recent developments and current state of research in each area.

Journal ArticleDOI
Existence of slow-cycling limbal epithelial basal cells that can be preferentially stimulated to proliferate: implications on epithelial stem cells.
TL;DR: Using 3H-thymidine labeling, a subpopulation of corneal epithelial basal cells are identified in the peripheral cornea in a region called limbus that are normally slow cycling, but can be stimulated to proliferate in response to wounding and to a tumor promotor, TPA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Corneal nerves: structure, contents and function.
TL;DR: A revised interpretation of human corneal nerve architecture is presented based on recent observations obtained by in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM), immunohistochemistry, and ultrastructural analyses of serial-sectionedhuman corneas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of the Pericorneal Papillary Structure in Renewal of Corneal Epithelium
M Davanger,M Davanger,A Evensen +2 more
TL;DR: Corneal epithelium, nonetheless, has considerable healing capacity, which is achieved primarily by migration of epithelial cells, and should correspond to higher demands on the generative capacity of the corneal basal cells compared with skin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Limbal stem cells of the corneal epithelium.
TL;DR: Stem cells have certain unique characteristics, which include longevity, high capacity of self-renewal with a long cell cycle time and a short S-phase duration, increased potential for error-free proliferation, and poor differentiation.
