Nerve terminals at the human corneoscleral limbus (2017)
Journal Article
Al -Aqaba, M., Anis, F. S., Mohammed, I., & Dua, H. S. (2017). Nerve terminals at the human corneoscleral limbus. British Journal of Ophthalmology, 102(4), 556-561. doi:10.1136/bjophthalmol-2017-311146

Aims: To demonstrate and characterise distinct subepithelial compact nerve endings (CNE) at the human corneoscleral limbus. Methods: Ten fresh human donor corneoscleral discs (mean age, 67 years) and 26 organ-cultured corneoscleral rims (mean age,... Read More about Nerve terminals at the human corneoscleral limbus.

Air pressure changes in the creation and bursting of the type-1 big bubble in deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty: an ex vivo study (2017)
Journal Article
AlTaan, S., Mohammed, I., Said, D., & Dua, H. (2018). Air pressure changes in the creation and bursting of the type-1 big bubble in deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty: an ex vivo study. Eye, 32(1), 146-151. https://doi.org/10.1038/eye.2017.121

Purpose: To measure the pressure and volume of air required to create a big bubble (BB) in simulated deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) in donor eyes and ascertain the bursting pressure of the BB. Patients and methods: Twenty-two human scler... Read More about Air pressure changes in the creation and bursting of the type-1 big bubble in deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty: an ex vivo study.

Human antimicrobial peptides in ocular surface defense (2017)
Journal Article
Mohammed, I., Said, D. G., & Dua, H. S. (2017). Human antimicrobial peptides in ocular surface defense. Progress in Retinal and Eye Research, 61, (1-22). doi:10.1016/j.preteyeres.2017.03.004. ISSN 1350-9462

Sight depends on the passage of light through the transparent cornea and being focused on the fovea. Its exposed position renders it vulnerable to microbial infection. The cornea has developed a wide array of defense mechanisms against infection, of... Read More about Human antimicrobial peptides in ocular surface defense.

Murine systemic thrombophilia and hemolytic uremic syndrome from a factor H point mutation (2017)
Journal Article
Ueda, Y., Mohammed, I., Song, D., Gullipalli, D., Zhou, L., Sato, S., …Song, W. (2017). Murine systemic thrombophilia and hemolytic uremic syndrome from a factor H point mutation. Blood, 129(9), 1184-1196. https://doi.org/10.1182/blood-2016-07-728253

Complement plays a key role in host defense, but its dysregulation can cause autologous tissue injury. Complement activation is normally controlled by regulatory proteins, including factor H (FH) in plasma and membrane cofactor protein (MCP) on the c...
