Mesenchymal precursors (MPs) present some advantageous features, such as differentiation and migration, which make them promising candidates for cell therapy. A better understanding of MP migration characteristics would aid the development of cell delivery protocols. Traditionally, cell migration is thought to occur only through the formation of lamellipodia. More recently, contractility-driven...

PURPOSE To report an unusual case of spontaneous late leakage of filtering bleb in a patient with orbital pseudotumor. METHODS Single case report. RESULTS A 53-year-old woman developed spontaneous leakage of bleb in her right eye 23 years after trabeculectomy with application of mitomycin-C (MMC). Two weeks later, her symptoms were blurring of vision, increasing redness, and dull ocular pai...

Background: Our aim was to determine the predictive value of postoperative bleb morphological features and intraocular pressure (IOP) on the success rate of trabeculectomy. Methods: In this prospective interventional case series, we analyzed for one year 80 consecutive primary open angle glaucoma patients who underwent mitomycin-augmented trabeculectomy. Bleb morphology was scored using the Ind...

Aims: To determine the long term outcome of systemic anti-inflammatory fibrosis suppression in cases of threatened trabeculectomy bleb failure in open angle glaucoma. Methods: This prospective non-comparative case series followed 77 eyes of 63 patients which showed signs of threatened early bleb failure and were treated with oral anti-inflammatory fibrosis suppression of prednisone, a non-stero...
