Research Abstract |
First, we have shown that accumulation of D-amino acid-containing proteins in the basement membrane of the cornea induces diabetic keratopathy. Second, we have found increased concentration of D-amino acid-containing proteins in the vitreous fluid of diabetic retinopathy. Finally, we have developed a photodynamic therapy for corneal dystrophy using in vitro model.
