Intrastromal Lamellar Keratoprosthesis (Artificial Cornea) (Case No. 2025-177)
Summary: UCLA researchers in the Department of Ophthalmology have developed an intrastromal artificial cornea implant designed to enhance biointegration and effectively restore vision. Background: Corneal opacities are among the top five causes of blindness worldwide. For patients who are not candidates for conventional corneal transplantation, keratoprosthesis...

Antileukinates in the prevention of transplant rejection
Alpha-chemokines play important roles in both inflammation and tumor development. They bind to specific surface receptors to induce leukocyte migration and activation, angiogenesis, and to stimulate tumor growth. Dr. Miller developed a peptide inhibitor of the α-chemokine receptors, CXCR1 and CXCR2, and went on to show that this inhibitor (dubbed...
