Last check: 2007-10-29) CONTACT US The Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing is an academic center affiliated with the Division of Toxicological Sciences in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences of the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health. The anterior surface of the eye is covered by contiguous but morphologically distinguishable epithelia overlying the cornea, limbus, and conjuctiva. These epithelia, along with the associated tear film, form the first line of defense for the eye by providing a barrier to pathogen entrance as well as preventing the entrance of toxic and/or irritating chemicals and compounds. caat.jhsph.edu /programs/grants/98-99grants/zieske.htm   (307 words)

The conjuctiva is, simply put, "a thin lining over the sclera." (www.pasadenaeye.com/faq/faq15/faq15_text.html) It is the outermost tissue of the eye and thus is exposed to a great deal of substances and microorganisms. Tears are produced by the conjunctival epithelium, and these help fight off the organisms that enter the eye. ffden-2.phys.uaf.edu /211_fall2004.web.dir/Kelsie_Engen/Page3_The_Cornea.htm   (282 words)

Microgravity Science & Applications Program Tasks and Bibliography for FY 1996 Details We will then study the effects of fluctuating levels in several physiological parameters (e.g., glucose and calcium), which intact organisms experience under zero gravity, on the development and functions of our in vitro model of human skin. We have developed several living in vitro models of human tissue (e.g., skin, cornea, conjuctiva), based on a non-contracting three-dimensional collagenous matrix populated with appropriate fibroblasts. Because these models support functional epithella and/or endothelia and closely mimic ex vivo human tissue, they provide an excellent opportunity for studies of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions during tissue development or repair. peer1.nasaprs.com /cfpro/peer_review/mtb1_96.cfm?id=215   (1755 words)

NEL, Spastic and myocloni in a childhood neurodegenerative disease — new therapeutic options Moreover, it also should include a discussion of potential indications for the application of delta 9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (Dronabinol, Marinol) in childhood. The four major variants of NCL (types Santavuori, Jansky-Bielschowsky, Spielmeyer-Vogt, and Kufs) are characterized by excessive ceroid and lipofuscin lysosomal storage in both neurons and astroglia as well as in muscle cells, the thyroid gland, pancreas, skin, conjuctiva, and lymphocytes. Whereas all four varieties are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, they can be differentiated with respect to the defective gene involved, the material stored at the cellular level, their light microscopic findings, clinic, and onset of illness. www.nel.edu /23_56/NEL235602C01_Lorenz.htm   (363 words)
