Data Descriptor: Wide-field corneal subbasal nerve plexus mosaics in age-controlled healthy and type 2 diabetes populations
Lagali, Neil; Allgeier, Stephan; Guimarães, Pedro; Badian, Reza; Ruggeri, Alfredo; Köhler, Bernd; Utheim, Tor Paaske; Peebo, Beatrice; Peterson, Magnus; Dahlin, Lars B.; Rolandsson, Olov (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)A dense nerve plexus in the clear outer window of the eye, the cornea, can be imaged in vivo to enable non-invasive monitoring of peripheral nerve degeneration in diabetes. However, a limited field of view of corneal nerves, ... -
Dendritic cell maturation in the corneal epithelium with onset of type 2 diabetes is associated with tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 9
Lagali, Neil; Badian, Reza; Liu, Xu; Feldreich, Tobias R.; Ärnlöv, Johan; Utheim, Tor Paaske; Dahlin, Lars B.; Rolandsson, Olov (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Type 2 diabetes mellitus is characterized by a low-grade inflammation; however, mechanisms leading to this inflammation in specific tissues are not well understood. The eye can be affected by diabetes; thus, we hypothesized ... -
