Effects of edible bird's nest (EBN) on cultured rabbit corneal keratocytes
BACKGROUND There has been no effective treatment or agent that is available for corneal injury in promoting corneal wound healing. Previous studies on edible bird's nest extract (EBN) had reported the presence of hormone-like substance; avian epidermal growth factor that could stimulate cell division and enhance regeneration. This study aimed to investigate the effects of EBN on corneal keratoc...
متن کاملEffect of lysosomes on cultured rabbit corneal endothelial cells.
Lysosomal preparations induced marked changes in cultured corneal endothelial cells, firstly causing the epithelial-like pattern of control growth state to become multilayered and mesothelial in appearance and behavior, and secondly causing cell detachment and death. These culture changes were reversible with removal of lysosomes and restoration of fresh growth media. It appears that the change...
متن کاملCorneal Stroma Regeneration with Acellular Corneal Stroma Sheets and Keratocytes in a Rabbit Model
Acellular corneal stroma matrix has been used for corneal stroma engineering. However, because of its compact tissue structure, regrowth of keratocytes into the scaffold is difficult. Previously, we developed a sandwich model for cartilage engineering using acellular cartilage sheets. In the present study, we tested this model for corneal stroma regeneration using acellular porcine corneal stro...
متن کاملPolyamines in cultured rabbit corneal cells.
PURPOSE To determine whether polyamines are present in corneal cells, whether corneal cell polyamines can be depleted by blocking the first rate-limiting enzyme in the polyamine synthesis pathway, ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), and whether polyamines are required for proliferation in all three corneal cell types. METHODS Cultured corneal epithelial cells, keratocytes, and endothelial cells we...
متن کاملNest building by birds
state and at a private university. Despite the great diversity among them, there is a common theme. All universities have flaws, but the ideal is a universal one, a place where scholars are free to study and teach, and young people to learn. Robert Maynard Hutchins was chancellor of the University of Chicago when I was an undergraduate student. At the time, Senator Joseph McCarthy was attacking...
