Some patients develop persistent eye pain after refractive surgery, but the factors that cause or sustain pain are unknown. We tested whether tear proteins of patients with pain 3 months after surgery differ from patients without pain. Patients undergoing refractive surgery (LASIK or PRK) were recru...

We have used microarrays to identify genes expressed and required for the second mitotic wave (SMW) during eye development. Eye discs expressing Spitz under the control of GMR Gal4 have no SMW as Spitz promotes G1 arrest, ectopic differentiation also occures. To control for the ectopic differentiati...

Chronic pain is a global public health problem, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. Here we examine genome-wide DNA methylation, first in 50 identical twins discordant for heat pain sensitivity and then in 50 further unrelated individuals. Whole blood DNA methylation wa...

Eye photoreceptor membrane discs in outer rod segments are highly enriched in the visual pigment rhodopsin and the omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenote (DHA). The eye acquires DHA from blood, but transporters for DHA uptake across the blood-retinal barrier (BRB) or retinal pigment epithelium have not ...

Wnt signaling in early eye development, specifically the lens placode shows expression of 12 out of 19 Wnt ligands. We these Wnt activities were suppressed using conditional deletion of Wntless, dramatic phenotypic changes in morphogensis occurred. Microarray analysis of the genes that were changed...
