This study observed that transgenic mice with overexpression of HE4 developed keratitis and severe corneal opacity, suggesting that HE4 may significantly influence keratopathy and inflammatory responses in the eye.

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.

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.

This study found that the Bsk phenotype in mice did not result from a recombination event between specific keratin genes, leaving the gene linked to this mutation unidentified.

This study reports two new cases of Gomez-Lopez-Hernandez syndrome and suggests that trigeminal anesthesia and/or partial scalp alopecia may be key criteria for diagnosis.

This case report highlights an 11-year-old girl with dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis, identifying associated Salzmann's nodular degeneration of the cornea and emphasizing the need for a multidisciplinary management approach.

This study concluded that hair-derived stem cells from older donors may offer a promising alternative for autologous corneal endothelial replacement, potentially benefitting patients of various age groups.

This study explored the molecular mechanisms determining the identity of keratinocytes and corneal epithelial cells, finding that miRNAs from the Gtl2-Dio3 region, which regulate key signaling pathways, play a significant role in cell identity through the Hox/Gtl2-Dio3 miRNA axis.

In this study, transgenic mice altered to express a Clim-inhibiting molecule under a keratin promoter showed corneal degradation and hair follicle failure, highlighting Clim proteins' role in maintaining these tissues.

This study found that dedifferentiated corneal epithelial cells can revert to a stem-cell-like state, aiding tissue homeostasis and repair, with this plasticity limited to the epithelial lineage and enhanced by niche-derived cytokines.

This case report details the ocular complications of Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria syndrome in a 20-year-old Bangladeshi patient, highlighting symptoms like dry eyes, Meibomian gland dysfunction, and cataracts.

This review discusses the long-term cutaneous and ocular complications from sulfur mustard exposure in the Iranian population, identifying pruritus and malignant changes as significant issues and highlighting eye surface damage leading to visual decline.

This study reported that topical spironolactone improved lid margin vascularity, corneal fluorescein staining, and disease severity scores in patients with ocular graft-versus-host disease, suggesting a potential therapeutic role by enhancing corneal lipid production with minimal adverse effects.

This case study describes a cat with concurrent cutaneous xanthomas, demodicosis, and dermatophytosis, which suggests potential primary hyperlipidaemia as the underlying cause for its symptoms.

This study found that patients with severe alopecia areata demonstrated reduced corneal sensitivity and increased corneal staining, and exhibited altered topographic and biomechanical eye parameters compared to controls, suggesting a possible increased risk of keratoconus and the necessity for regular ophthalmological exams.

In this case report, the authors suggest an association between prolonged finasteride use and anterior subcapsular cataracts, as observed in a 43-year-old man, marking the first reported instance.

This case report details a 65-year-old woman who developed malignant melanoma in her right eye socket following previous eye trauma, treated by orbital exenteration.

This review explores the potential of alginate as a promising alternative to donor tissue for corneal transplantation due to its adaptability, transparency, and low immunogenicity, and discusses how chemical modifications can enhance its properties for use in corneal tissue engineering.

This case report describes a 26-year-old woman with an uncommon presentation of varicella zoster virus interstitial keratitis misdiagnosed as corneal intraepithelial neoplasia; the correct identification using diagnostic tools such as AS-OCT prevented unnecessary surgical interventions and allowed for effective antiviral treatment.

This review highlights the potential of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells as a cost-effective solution for tissue restoration and regeneration in ophthalmic and oculoplastic surgeries, addressing unmet needs in reconstructive procedures.

This case report indicates that retinoblastoma can occur in a microphthalmic eye and recommends using multiple imaging techniques due to potential differences in calcification visibility.

This study reports a case of hepatogenic photosensitization in a 22-day-old lactating Tabapuã calf, induced by toxins ingested via breast milk from a mother fed Brachiaria decumbens pasture; treatment including pasture removal and medicinal intervention led to symptom remission.

This study found that the ocular surface epithelium in mice contains distinct stem cell populations with unique cell division dynamics that change behaviorally in response to different levels of injury.

This review found promising benefits of platelet-rich plasma for treating ocular surface diseases in animals, but methodological flaws currently preclude recommending it as standard care.

This study presents cases of paraproteinemic keratopathy associated with multiple myeloma and MGUS, highlighting varied treatment responses and the need for long-term follow-up to better understand disease progression and management.

This study reviews methods to ensure the reliability of machine learning models in medical imaging, focusing on bias detection, data drift assessment, and accuracy estimation without ground truth labels to enhance integration into clinical settings.

This study investigated the dynamic mechanical properties of fluid-immersed elastic hair beds under oscillatory shear flows, revealing a nonlinear response influenced by driving frequency and amplitude, which impacts mechanosensory signaling stability in biological processes like vasodilation and ciliary remodeling.

In this study, researchers identified a novel STS gene (c.287G > A; p.W96*) mutation in Pakistani individuals with X-linked ichthyosis, expanding the understanding of its genetic causes and aiding in genetic counseling.
