In vitro studies on the antimicrobial peptide human beta-defensin 9 (HBD9): signalling pathways and pathogen-related response (an American Ophthalmological Society thesis) (2014)
Journal Article
Dua, H. S., Otri, A. M., Hopkinson, A., & Mohammed, I. (2014). In vitro studies on the antimicrobial peptide human beta-defensin 9 (HBD9): signalling pathways and pathogen-related response (an American Ophthalmological Society thesis). Transactions of the American Ophthalmological Society, 112, 50-73

Purpose: Human β-defensins (HBDs) are an important part of the innate immune host defense at the ocular surface. Unlike other defensins, expression of HBD9 at the ocular surface is reduced during microbial infection, but activation of toll-like recep...

Pre-Descemet's endothelial keratoplasty (PDEK) (2014)
Journal Article
Dua, H., Agarwal, A., Narang, P., Kumar, D. A., Agarwal, A., Jacob, S., …Gupta, A. (2014). Pre-Descemet's endothelial keratoplasty (PDEK). British Journal of Ophthalmology, 98(9), 1181-1185. https://doi.org/10.1136/bjophthalmol-2013-304639

A new surgical technique for endothelial keratoplasty is described, in which the composite of pre-Descemet's layer (Dua's layer) with Descemet's membrane and endothelium is transplanted subsequent to the removal of the recipient's Descemet's membrane...

Concise review: evidence for CD34 as a common marker for diverse progenitors (2014)
Journal Article
Sidney, L. E., Branch, M. J., Dunphy, S. E., Dua, H. S., & Hopkinson, A. (2014). Concise review: evidence for CD34 as a common marker for diverse progenitors. STEM CELLS, 32(6), 1380-1389. https://doi.org/10.1002/stem.1661

CD34 is a transmembrane phosphoglycoprotein, first identified on hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Clinically, it is associated with the selection and enrichment of hematopoietic stem cells for bone marrow transplants. Due to these historical...
