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 ?-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 ?-defensin 9 (HBD9) has previously been shown to be downregulated during ocular surface (OS) infection or inflammation. Here, the authors aimed to study localiz...

Epidermal Growth Factor Variations in Amniotic Membrane Used for Ex Vivo Tissue Constructs (2009)
Journal Article
Gicquel, J., Dua, H. S., Brodie, A., Mohammed, I., Suleman, H., Lazutina, E., …Hopkinson, A. (2009). Epidermal Growth Factor Variations in Amniotic Membrane Used for Ex Vivo Tissue Constructs. Tissue Engineering: Parts A, B, and C, 15(8), 1919-1927. https://doi.org/10.1089/ten.tea.2008.0432

Introduction: The amniotic membrane (AM) is used for engineering ex vivo tissue constructs used in ocular surface reconstruction. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) content of the AM is believed to play a key role in supporting corneal epithelial cell exp...

A novel antimicrobial peptide on the ocular surface shows decreased expression in inflammation and infection (2008)
Journal Article
Abedin, A., Mohammed, I., Hopkinson, A., & Dua, H. S. (2008). A novel antimicrobial peptide on the ocular surface shows decreased expression in inflammation and infection. Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, 49(1), (28-33). doi:10.1167/iovs.07-0645. ISSN 1552-5783

PURPOSE: Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are cationic host defense peptides with microbicidal and cell-signaling properties. They show promise as potential therapeutic agents. In the present study, a beta-defensin AMP gene was isolated from the ocular...
