Journal Article
Mohammed, I., Yeung, A., Abedin, A., Hopkinson, A., & Dua, H. S. (2011). Signalling pathways involved in ribonuclease-7 expression. Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 68(11), 1941-1952. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00018-010-0540-2

Antimicrobial peptides are host defence molecules that play a potential role in preventing infection at the epithelial surfaces. Ribonuclease (RNase)-7 has been shown to possess a broad spectrum of microbicidal activity against various pathogens. Her...

Comparative transcriptional profiling of the limbal epithelial crypt demonstrates its putative stem cell niche characteristics (2010)
Journal Article
Kulkarni, B. B., Tighe, P. J., Mohammed, I., Yeung, A. M., Powe, D. G., Hopkinson, A., …Dua, H. S. (2010). Comparative transcriptional profiling of the limbal epithelial crypt demonstrates its putative stem cell niche characteristics. BMC Genomics, 11(1), Article 526. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2164-11-526

Background: The Limbal epithelial crypt (LEC) is a solid cord of cells, approximately 120 microns long. It arises from the undersurface of interpalisade rete ridges of the limbal palisades of Vogt and extends deeper into the limbal stroma parallel or...

Localization and Gene Expression of Human β-Defensin 9 at the Human Ocular Surface Epithelium (2010)
Journal Article
Mohammed, I., Suleman, H., Otri, A. M., Kulkarni, B. B., Chen, P., Hopkinson, A., & Dua, H. S. (2010). Localization and Gene Expression of Human β-Defensin 9 at the Human Ocular Surface Epithelium. Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, 51(9), 4677-4682. https://doi.org/10.1167/iovs.10-5334

Purpose: Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are multifunctional host defense molecules. Human β-defensin 9 (HBD9) has previously been shown to be downregulated during ocular surface (OS) infection or inflammation. Here, the authors aimed to study localiz...
