New findings from researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggest the eye's cornea can resist infection from the novel coronavirus. Although the herpes simplex virus can ...

Immune cells (T cells, green) can be see entering the cornea of the eye, towards the Herpes Simplex Virus- infected cells (light blue). The eye is rich in nerves (purple). [Doherty Institute] ...

The cornea functions as the major refractive interface for vision and protects the internal eye from insult. Current understanding of innate immune responses to corneal infection derives from a ...

The cornea -- the transparent protective outer layer of the eye critical to helping us see -- produces a delicate and limited immune response to fight infections without damaging our vision, according ...

New findings from researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggest the eye's cornea can resist infection from the novel coronavirus. Although the herpes simplex virus can ...

Eye care specialists could see artificial intelligence help in diagnosing infectious keratitis (IK), a leading cause of corneal blindness worldwide, as a new study finds that deep learning models ...

The eye has three coats (sclera–cornea, uvea, and retina) and two humors (aqueous and vitreous). The conjunctiva covers the visible portion of the sclera (bulbar conjunctiva) and lines the eyelids ...

Simple, non-invasive imaging at the point of care can aid the diagnosis of corneal infections, reducing the risk of sight loss and helping patients' vision return to pre-infection levels. Bacterial ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece is part of a series dedicated to the eye and improvements in restoring vision. In 1999, I defined ...
