Vitreous contains a cartilage-related protein.

Abstract:

:The vitreous is a clear, gel-like mass in the posterior cavity of the eye. Its major components are type II collagen, hyaluronic acid, and water. A small amount of proteoglycan is also present. All of these molecules are found in cartilage as well. We have now identified a non-collagenous protein in bovine and human vitreous samples which has hitherto been found only in hyaline cartilage and fibrocartilage. This protein has a molecular weight of 550,000 and subunits of 130,000 MW and appears to be a shared cartilage and eye antigen. Its role, if any, in ocular disease associated with rheumatic disorders remains to be determined.

  • Fabrication of corneal epithelial cell sheets maintaining colony-forming cells without feeder cells by oxygen-controlled method.

    abstract::The use of murine 3T3 feeder cells needs to be avoided when fabricating corneal epithelial cell sheets for use in treating ocular surface diseases. However, the expression level of the epithelial stem/progenitor cell marker, p63, is down-regulated in feeder-free culture systems. In this study, in order to fabricate co...
