Computational modeling of drug transport across the in vitro cornea
2018, Computers in Biology and MedicineCitation Excerpt :The corneal endothelium is the thinnest layer of the cornea, and is a relatively “leaky” basement layer due to its high porosity. Compared with the epithelium, the endothelium has a higher hydraulic conductivity [30] facilitating increased paracellular transport [31]. The physical dimensions of the corneal tissues, including the transcellular and paracellular pathways for passive and convective drug transport (Table 1) are included in the CoBi Q3D rabbit cornea in vitro model (Fig. 5).
Peptide therapies for ocular surface disturbances based on fibronectin-integrin interactions
2015, Progress in Retinal and Eye ResearchCitation Excerpt :SPK is thought to result from a loss of balance between the differentiation and apoptosis of basal, wing, and superficial epithelial cells, and it may be triggered by factors in the environment surrounding the cornea. The corneal epithelium forms a secure barrier to water, ions, and various deleterious agents (Klyce and Crosson, 1985; Mishima and Hedbys, 1967). This barrier function of the corneal epithelium is conferred as a result of the formation of intercellular tight junctions containing ZO-1 between superficial epithelial cells.
