      Müller, Rodrigo T.; Abedi, Farshad; Cruzat, Andrea; Witkin, Deborah; Baniasadi, Neda; Cavalcanti, Bernardo M.; Jamali, Arsia; Chodosh, James; Dana, Reza; Pavan-Langston, Deborah; Hamrah, Pedram (Elsevier BV, 2015)
      Purpose To investigate the longitudinal alterations of subbasal corneal nerves in patients with infectious keratitis (IK) during acute phase, cessation of treatment and recovery phase by in vivo confocal microscopy ...

    • Effect of Penetrating Keratoplasty and Keratoprosthesis Implantation on the Posterior Segment of the Eye 

      Črnej, Alja; Omoto, Masahiro; Dohlman, Thomas H.; Gonzalez-Andrades, Miguel; Paschalis, Eleftherios I.; Cruzat, Andrea; Vu, T. H. Khanh; Doorenbos, Marianne; Chen, Dong Feng; Dohlman, Claes H.; Dana, Reza (The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2016)
      Purpose To compare the effects of post-penetrating keratoplasty (PK) and post-keratoprosthesis (KPro) surgery-related inflammation on the posterior segment of the eye and to assess inhibition of tumor necrosis factor alpha ...

    • Establishment of a novel in vitro model of stratified epithelial wound healing with barrier function 

      Gonzalez-Andrades, Miguel; Alonso-Pastor, Luis; Mauris, Jérôme; Cruzat, Andrea; Dohlman, Claes H.; Argüeso, Pablo (Nature Publishing Group, 2016)
      The repair of wounds through collective movement of epithelial cells is a fundamental process in multicellular organisms. In stratified epithelia such as the cornea and skin, healing occurs in three steps that include a ...
