    Aberrant expression of a stabilized β-catenin mutant in keratocytes inhibits mouse corneal epithelial stratification

    We previously reported that genetic deletion of β-catenin in mouse corneal keratocytes resulted in precocious corneal epithelial stratification. In this study, to strengthen the notion that corneal keratocyte-...

    Ocular Delivery of pRNA Nanoparticles: Distribution and Clearance After Subconjunctival Injection

    RNA nanoparticles derived from the three-way junction (3WJ) of the pRNA of bacteriophage phi29 DNA packaging motor were previously found to be thermodynamically stable. As the nanoparticles could have potentia...
