Toll-Like Receptor Signalling Pathways Regulate Hypoxic Stress Induced Fibroblast Growth Factor but Not Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-A in Human Microvascular Endothelial Cells (2021)
Journal Article

Retinal diseases are the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide. The role of toll-like receptor (TLR) signalling mechanisms (MyD88 and TRIF) in the production of pro-angiogenic growth factors from human microvascular endothelial cells (HM...

Hypercapnia augments resistive exercise?induced elevations in intraocular pressure in older individuals (2020)
Journal Article

The present study assessed the effect of 6° head down (establishing the cephalad displacement noted in astronauts in microgravity) prone (simulating the effect on the eye) tilt during rest and exercise (simulating exercise performed by astronauts to...

Biofeedback fixation training method for improving eccentric vision in patients with loss of foveal function secondary to different maculopathies (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019, The Author(s). Purpose: Fixation stability (FS) of the preferred retinal locus (PRL) may be improved by biofeedback fixation training (BFT) with microperimetry. Such training can be done on the patient’s PRL or in different retinal loci with...

Assessing the ex vivo permeation behaviour of functionalised contact lens coatings engineered using an electrohydrodynamic technique (2018)
Journal Article

In vitro testing alone is no longer considered sufficient evidence presented solely with respect to drug release and permeation testing. These studies are thought to be more reliable and representative when using tissue or animal models; as opposed t...

Prevalence of peripapillary choroidal neovascular membranes (PPCNV) in an elderly UK population—the Bridlington eye assessment project (BEAP): a cross-sectional study (2002–2006) (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018, The Royal College of Ophthalmologists. Purpose: There is paucity of data on the epidemiology of peripapillary choroidal neovascularisartion (PPCNV). Our aim was to determine prevalence of PPCNV in the elderly UK population of Bridlington res...

Heterodimers of photoreceptor-specific nuclear receptor (PNR/NR2E3) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR?) are disrupted by retinal disease-associated mutations (2017)
Journal Article

Photoreceptor-specific nuclear receptor (PNR/NR2E3) and Tailless homolog (TLX/NR2E1) are human orthologs of the NR2E group, a subgroup of phylogenetically related members of the Nuclear Receptor (NR) superfamily of transcription factors. We assessed...

The effect of hyperglycaemia on permeability and the expression of junctional complex molecules in human retinal and choroidal endothelial cells. (2014)
Journal Article

Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of preventable blindness in the working population and its prevalence continues to increase as the worldwide prevalence of diabetes grows. Diabetic choroidopathy is less well studied and occurs in the late st...
