In the past decade, novel lamellar keratoplasty techniques such as Deep Anterior Lamellar
Keratoplasty (DALK) for anterior keratoplasty and Descemet stripping automated endothelial …

Historically, the eye has been considered as an organ free of lymphatic vessels. In recent
years, however, it became evident, that lymphatic vessels or lymphatic-like vessels …

Macrophages are critical mediators of tissue vascularization both in health and disease. In
multiple tissues, macrophages have been identified as important regulators of both blood …

Purpose: To investigate immunological differences and the role of CD38+/F4/80+ M1

Corneal lymphangiogenesis is one component of the neovascularization observed in
several inflammatory pathologies of the cornea including dry eye disease and corneal graft …

(Lymph) angiogenesis into the cornea prior to and after corneal transplantation is a critical
risk factor for allograft rejection. Lymphatic vessels even more than blood vessels seem …

Lymphangiogenesis is a key player in several diseases such as tumor metastasis, obesity,
and graft rejection. Endogenous regulation of lymphangiogenesis is only partly understood …

Background: Immunologic graft rejection is the main complication of corneal transplants.
This study aimed to investigate the effect of melatonin (MT) on the rejection of corneal …

Under normal conditions, the cornea, being the transparent “windscreen” of the eye, is free
of both blood and lymphatic vessels. However, various diseases of the eye, like infections …

Even though the cornea is regarded as an immune-privileged tissue, transplantation always
comes with the risk of rejection due to mismatches between donor and recipient. It is …
