    • Anterior lens capsule strains during simulated accommodation in porcine eyes 

      Pellegrino, Antonio; Burd, Harvey John; Pinilla Cortés, Laura; D'Antin, Justin Christopher; Petrinic, Nik; Barraquer, Rafael I.; Michael, Ralph (Experimental Eye Research, 2018)
      Experimental protocols have been developed to measure the spatial variation of the mechanical strains induced in the lens capsule during ex vivo lens stretching. The paper describes the application of ...
    • Deformations and ruptures in human lenses with cortical cataract subjected to ex vivo simulated accommodation 

      Michael, Ralph; D'Antin, Justin Christopher; Pinilla Cortés, Laura; Burd, Harvey John; Sheil, Brian; Barraquer, Rafael I. (Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, 2021)
      Purpose: Human cortical opacities are most commonly accompanied by changes in lens fiber structure in the equatorial region at the lens nucleus–cortex interface. Cortex and nucleus have different elastic ...
    • Histological comparison of in vitro and in vivo development of peripheral posterior capsule opacification in human donor tissue 

      Ribeiro Koch, Camila; D'Antin, Justin Christopher; Tresserra, Francisco; Barraquer, Rafael Ignasi; Michael, Ralph (Experimental Eye Research, 2019)
      In order to study the mechanisms involved in the development of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) we compared in vivo developed PCO with PCO formed in tissue culture with focus on the periphery of ...
    • Müller glia fused with adult stem cells undergo neural differentiation in human retinal models 

      Bonilla-Pons, Sergi Àngel; Nakagawa, Shoma; Garreta Bahima, Elena; Fernández-Blanco, Álvaro; Pesaresi, Martina; D'Antin, Justin Christopher; Perez, Ruben Sebastian; Greco, Daniela; Domínguez-Sala, Eduardo; Gómez-Riera, Raúl; Barraquer Compte, Rafael Ignacio; Dierssen, Mara; Pulido, Nuria Montserrat; Cosma, Maria Pia (eBioMedicine, 2022)
      Background: Visual impairments are a critical medical hurdle to be addressed in modern society. Müller glia (MG) have regenerative potential in the retina in lower vertebrates, but not in mammals. ...
    • Soemmerring's rings developed around IOLs, in human donor eyes, can present internal transparent areas 

      D'Antin, Justin Christopher; Tresserra, Francesc; Barraquer, Rafael I.; Michael, Ralph (International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022)
      Soemmerring’s rings consist of a ring of lens epithelial derived cells that grow along the periphery of an aphakic lens capsule, or around an intraocular lens. These rings when visualized frontally, ...
