SUMMARY:MASc Oral Exam|Exploring the Cytoskeleton and Apoptosis Mechanisms 
 in\nFuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy Using In Vitro Biomimetic Models\n
 and Immortalized FECD Cells by Fancheng Sun
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:In a closed session Fancheng Sun will discuss their research.\n
 \nAbstract: Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) can lead to\ncornea
 l blindness if untreated. A study to further explore the\npathology of the
  FECD is needed. By utilizing an immortalized FECD\ncorneal endothelial ce
 ll line FECD 54F and a biomimicking guttata\nmodel\, we found that the FEC
 D cells seeded on the guttata patterns\nhave higher cytoskeleton contracti
 lity and apoptosis rate.\n\nBy employing a concave contact lens\, we found
  that FECD 54F cells\nmigrated faster than the B4G12 cells on the concave 
 side of the\ngelatin methacrylate+.
