Take a look at Peter’s first article with our lab where he further narrows the list of potential EphA2 and ephrin-A5 binding partners within the lens! This opens the way for more effective and informative protein work within the lens! Have a read: Spatial-temporal comparison of Eph/Ephrin gene expression in ocular lenses from aging and knockout mice.

The mini-symposium, “Biomechanical properties of normal, aging, and pathological eye tissues”, organized by the LE section and moderated by Dr. Bianca Maceo Heilman and Dr. Shizuka Koh, this session was greatly successful! The room was filled such that there were researchers standing along the walls! Thank you to the organizers, moderators, presenters, and attendees for the great work and engagement! Thank you for the great presentations: Dr(s). Kirill Larin, Guiliano Scarcelli, Catherine Cheng, C. Ross Ethier, and Christine Frances Wildsoet!

The lab celebrated by going to Red Lobster! The lab forgot to grab a picture with the cheddar bay biscuits, so here’s a picture from earlier in the day, when our stomachs weren’t ready to burst! Happy Birthday Isaiah!

Together, with the Fowler and Parreno labs, we have a new article that elucidates novel methods to visualize the peripheral structures in the ocular lens, live and fixed, and methods for image quantification! Video protocols are here: Preparation and Imaging of Murine Ocular Lens Whole Mounts.
