pterygium/phosphatase

A prospective, non-randomised, interventional case series study was designed among 127 specimens obtained from 100 consecutive patients presenting with primary pterygium attending the outpatient department of a teaching hospital in Kolkata, West Bengal between September 2009 and August 2010. After

Sphingosine 1 phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive lipid that regulates cellular activity, including proliferation, cytoskeletal organization, migration, and fibrosis. In this study, the potential relevance of S1P-Rho signaling in pterygium formation and the effects of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation on

The purpose of this study has been to evaluate the immunohistochemical characteristics of human pterygial tissues in order to ascertain the possible contribution of an immunological mechanism in the pathogenesis of pterygium and to investigate the presence in the pterygial tissues of some

Pterygium, an ultraviolet radiation (UV)-related disease, is a relatively benign process, but since it displays tumor-like features, it has been proposed to be a neoplastic- like growth disorder. Vitamin D performs a number of functions in addition to calcium homeostasis, as inhibition of cell
