Today, we share our exciting discovery in @PNASNews that T cells patrol healthy human corneas. To date, these cells were mistakenly considered dendritic cells based on static imaging. This finding shifts the current dogma that only dendritic cells are present in human corneas,

The dynamics of #cornea immune cells vary across seasons in humans, suggesting a potential window to 'see' the effects of environment on human immunity. @DrLauraDownie @holly_chinnery @Mengliang_Wu @UniMelbDOVS @FrontTear_UoM @SMuellerLab #ophthalmology

New paper! A systematic review from @FrontTear_UoM by Rajni Rajan, Eve Makrai, Ji-hyun Lee, @sumeer007 @holly_chinnery @DrLauraDownie identifies a need to standardize the clinical definition of corneal neuropathy and define a set of core outcome measures for future trials.

How should corneal neuropathy be treated?
Congrats to PhD candidate @UniMelbDOVS, Rajni Rajan @ShanRajni on her first, 1st-author paper, which reviews the evidence for the safety and efficacy of different therapies:

A wonderful talk at #ARVO2024 by @Mengliang_Wu from @FrontTear_UoM @UniMelbDOVS @SMuellerLab @holly_chinnery on #FunIVCM dynamic corneal immune cell imaging in humans.
Congrats to all presenters in this Vice President’s Minisymposium for next-Gen researchers - it was a super.

We are having so much FUN doing Fun-IVCM in the @FrontTear_UoM Research Centre @UniMelbDOVS @UniMelb.
These FUN-tastic videos, showing the in vivo dancing of corneal immune cells in the healthy corneas of living humans, continue to amaze us!

Do you have dry eyes and also an autoimmune condition? Are you based in Melbourne?
If so, you may be eligible to participate in a clinical study @UniMelbDOVS that is evaluating a new investigational treatment for dry eye disease in people with autoimmune conditions.

Have you had laser eye surgery in the last 6 to 24 months?
If Yes, and you are in Melbourne, you may be eligible to participate in an eye research study.
We are seeking volunteers, 18-45 years, able to attend four study visits over ~6 weeks at the University of Melbourne.
