Fibulin-2 Stabilizes Tumor Extracellular Matrix and Drives Malignant Progression of Lung Adenocarcinoma
… marked by disorganized basement membranes, dense collagen networks, and increased tissue stiffness. Metastasis-prone lung adenocarcinoma cells secreted fibulin-2 (Fbln2), a matrix glycoprotein involved in ECM supra-molecular assembly. Fibulin-2 depletion in tumor cells decreased the intra-tumoral …

Assessing the Biomechanical Properties of Cornea using Optical Coherence Elastography
… in situ after partial riboflavin/UV-A corneal collagen cross-linking using OCE; 4) rapid characterization of the biomechanical properties of porcine corneas before and after UV-induced collagen cross-liking at different intraocular pressures by OCE; 5) the development of method to differentiate …

Pathogenesis, presentation, and treatment of keratoconus within the United States
… the role and potential impact corneal collage cross linking could have on keratoconus patients in the U.S. Corneal Collagen Cross Linking is a procedure where through riboflavin (vitamin B2) and UV-A light, collagen cross links can be induced within the corneal stroma. By linking the collagen …

MORPHOLOGICAL, MOLECULAR AND GENETICAL ASPECTS OF THE ORAL CAVITY IN COVID-19 DISEASE FOR DIAGNOSIS, SURVEILLANCE, AND TISSUE REGENERATION PURPOSES
… NFE induced HGF proliferation, adhesion, collagen cross-linking and reduction of collagen degradation, thus favouring collagen deposition in gingival connective tissue. Furthermore, molecular imprinted nanoparticles were tested on target cells, showing a good affinity. Considering the …

Characterizing Corneal Biomechanical Properties Using Dynamic Optical Coherence Elastography
… effects of tissue hydration and UV riboflavin cross-linking (CXL) treatment on the corneal ultrastructure, and evaluates the corneal biomechanical properties determined using OCE due to the effect of b) hydration and CXL treatment, c) deep stromal cross-linking treatments and d) in vivo …

Role of peritoneal mesothelial cells and the inflammatory response in peritoneal fibrosis
… capacity. However, the contributions of collagen deposition and ECM remodelling to the peritoneal repair mechanism are not well understood. This thesis focuses on the role of PMC in the regulation of ECM deposition and remodelling in response to inflammatory stimuli in both in vivo and in …
