Chronology of cellular events related to mitochondrial burnout leading to cell death in Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy
2 Apr 2020
Abstract excerpt
Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is a degenerative eye disease characterized by corneal endothelial cell (CEC) death and the formation of guttae, an abnormal thickening of CEC's basement membrane. At the tissue level, an oxidative stress causing mitochondrial damage and CEC death have been described to explain FECD pathogenesis. At the cellular level, our group has previously observed significant...
