April 2012 in “The American journal of pathology” This study found that the loss of Msx2 in knockout mice led to phenotypes similar to Peters anomaly and microphthalmia, suggesting that MSX2 plays a critical role in anterior segment development of the eye.
This review discusses Limbal Mesenchymal Stem Cell Secretome therapy for ocular chemical injuries, noting its potential in reducing inflammation and corneal opacity, but reports no new clinical results.
January 2024 in “SAGE Open Medical Case Reports” In this study, exome sequencing revealed that two brothers with ichthyosis, born to consanguineous parents, had NIPAL4 autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis, while the older brother's blindness resulted from separate mutations in the peroxidasin gene, which were also found in an unaffected sister.
