Pain associated with mechanical, chemical, and thermal heat stimulation of the ocular
surface is mediated by trigeminal ganglion neurons, while cold thermoreceptors detect …

Corneal antigen-presenting cells (APC), including dendritic cells (DC), were thought to
reside exclusively in the peripheral cornea. Here, we present recent data from our group …

In vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) is becoming an indispensable tool for studying corneal
physiology and disease. Enabling the dissection of corneal architecture at a cellular level …

purpose. Dendritic cells (DCs) comprise a system of highly efficient antigen-presenting cells
(APCs) that initiate immune responses. The purpose of this study was to examine the normal …

purpose. The presence of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) such as Langerhans cells (LCs),
an epithelial form of dendritic cells (DCs), in corneal tissue is critical for generation of …

PURPOSE:: To study and correlate corneal sensation in patients with herpes simplex
keratitis (HSK) with density and morphologic features of subbasal corneal nerves by in vivo …

Transparency of the cornea, the window of the eye, is a prerequisite for vision. Angiogenesis
into the normally avascular cornea is incompatible with good vision and, therefore, the …

Purpose. To describe the most recent advances in our understanding of the cellular and
molecular mechanisms involved in the immunopathogenesis of corneal …

Objective To study the safety and efficacy of topical bevacizumab in the treatment of corneal
neovascularization (NV). Design In a prospective, open-label, noncomparative study, 10 …

There are no studies so far linking molecular regulation of lymphangiogenesis and induction
of adaptive immunity. Here, we show that blockade of vascular endothelial growth factor …
