METHOD TO MEASURE INFLAMMATION IN THE CONJUNCTIVA OF PATIENTS WITH TEAR DYSFUNCTION The present invention concerns methods and compositions for treatment and determination of the presence or likelihood of an individual to have an ocular surface inflammation. In specific embodiments, a sample from the ind...
The recent discovery that IgG4 has a causative role in a subtype of, what is currently termed, idiopathic orbital inflammation is encouraging. The term 'idiopathic' can now be removed from the nomenclature for another subtype of orbital inflammation. IgG4 disease should be especially considered in...
The role of sensory nerves in the acute inflammatory response was first demonstrated in the conjunctiva of rabbits and the skin of cats and humans. It is now known that sensory nerves mediate a local tissue response, termed 'neurogenic inflammation', in several somatic (e.g. skin and joints)...

Use of antioxidants to mitigate oxidative stress during ocular inflammatory diseases has shown therapeutic potential. This work examines a nanoscale therapeutic modality for the eye on the base of antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase(SOD), termed nanozyme. The nanozyme is produced by electrostatic ...
MCP-1 expression alone does not explain the MWCNT induced mast cell and basophil degranulation. MIP-1 α expression was upregulated in skin due to MWCNT exposure, and this cytokine has been described as a co-stimulatory signal for mast cell degranulation in the conjunctiva, meaning it is requir...
