Aquaporins (AQPs) are transmembrane water channel proteins that regulate the movement
of water through the plasma membrane in various tissues including cornea. The cornea is …

The cornea is an avascular, transparent tissue that allows light to enter the visual system.
Accurate vision requires proper maintenance of the cornea's integrity and structure. Due to …

Milk osmolarity maintains an isotonic status for suckling infants during lactation. However, it
remains unclear how the water content in milk is regulated in lactating mammary glands. In …

Abstract Aquaporin-2–4 (AQP) are expressed in the principal cells of the renal collecting
duct (CD). Beside their role in water transport across membranes, several studies showed …

While the function of proteins and genes has been widely studied during vertebrate
development, relatively little work has addressed the role of carbohydrates. Hyaluronan …

Background Corneal injuries, often leading to severe vision loss or blindness, have
traditionally been treated with the belief that limbal stem cells (LSCs) are essential for repair …

Purpose. To study the effect of D‐panthenol (provitamin B5) on corneal epithelial healing, in
cases of surface laser ablation. Patients and Methods: 45 eyes, of 45 patients undergoing …

Progressive advancements in corneal endothelial cell (CEC) transplantation have facilitated
the gradual replacement of full thickness corneal transplantation as the definitive treatment …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are proteins that selectively transport water across the cell membrane.
Although AQPs play important roles in secretion in the lacrimal gland, the expression and …

Purpose Our study aimed to determine whether the altered expression of biomarkers linked
to corneal injuries, such as the edema-regulating proteins aquaporin-1 and aquaporin-5 …
