Purpose: Low level laser therapy (LLLT) in the visible to near infrared spectral band (390–
1100 nm) is absorption of laser light at the electronic level, without generation of heat. It may …

The aim of this work is to review the available literature on the details of low-level laser
therapy (LLLT) use for the enhancement of the proliferation of various cultured cell lines …

Orthokeratology (OK) is widely used to slow the progression of myopia. Low‐level laser
therapy (LLLT) provides sufficient low energy to change the cellular function. This research …

In this article we review the mechanism of ocular surface staining. Water-soluble dyes are
excluded from the normal epithelium by tight junctions, the plasma membranes and the …

Keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome (KID) is a rare ectodermal dysplasia characterized
by vascularizing keratitis, profound sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), and progressive …

After traumatic CNS injury, a cascade of secondary events expands the initial lesion. The
gap-junction protein connexin43 (Cx43), which is transiently up-regulated, has been …

Local injury induces a complex orchestrated response to stimulate healing of injured tissues,
cellular regeneration and phagocytosis. Practically, inflammation is defined as a defense …

Purpose.: Wecompared the effects of three blood derivatives, autologous serum (AS),
platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and serum derived from plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF), on …

Phenotypic features and developmental events involved in the genesis of the limbo-corneal
and conjunctival epithelia are described. Together, these two epithelia define the ocular …

purpose. In the adult cornea, epithelial cells are maintained by limbal stem cells (LSCs) that
cycle slowly and give rise to transient amplifying (TA) cells. These migrate centripetally …
