Oct 08, 2020

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus. Inflammatory responses play crucial roles in the progress of DR. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) are key si...

Bone Marrow-Derived Mononuclear Cell Transplants Decrease Retinal Gliosis in Two Animal Models of Inherited Photoreceptor Degeneration.

Oct 05, 2020

Inherited photoreceptor degenerations are not treatable diseases and a frequent cause of blindness in working ages. In this study we investigate the safety, integration and possible rescue effects of ...

Updated definition and classification of dry eye disease: Renewed proposals using the nominal group and Delphi techniques.

Oct 05, 2020

The aim of our research was to obtain expert consensus for updated definition and classification of dry eye disease using formal methodology. The nominal group technique (NGT) involved a steering comm...

Association of ocular diseases with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder: a retrospective case-control, population-based study.

Oct 05, 2020

Psychiatric disorders and ocular neurovascular diseases may share a similar pathophysiological route of vascular structures or neurological changes. The aim of this study is to investigate the associa...

Association between dietary antioxidants and risk for diabetic retinopathy in a Chinese population.

Oct 05, 2020

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is related to oxidative stress and insufficient intake of dietary antioxidants may be associated with the onset and progression of DR. This study aimed to detect the associat...
