Histone Variants at the Centromere02:30

Histone Variants at the Centromere

4.0K
Histone variants are the histone proteins with structural and sequence variations. These variants may be regarded as “mutant” forms that replace their canonical histone counterparts in the nucleosomes. Specific post-translational modifications on the histone variants enable further chromatin complexity and regulate tissue-specific gene expression. The most common histone variants are from histone H2A, H2B, and linker histone H1 families. However, several variants of histone H3...

Papillary Dermis

Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology and Optometry
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Surface Metrology

    Background:

    • The human cornea exhibits irregular surfaces, with principal meridians not always being orthogonal (90°).
    • Existing models may not adequately address astigmatism arising from these nonorthogonal corneal geometries.
    • Accurate characterization of corneal surfaces is crucial for effective vision correction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To define and introduce 'parastigmatic surfaces' for modeling irregular corneal vertex.
    • To develop a simplified method for correcting irregular astigmatism with nonorthogonal principal meridians.
    • To create a canonical surface formula for human corneas incorporating new parameters.

    Main Methods:

    • Developing a mathematical definition for parastigmatic surfaces.
    • Formulating a canonical surface equation for the human cornea.
    • Incorporating two new parameters: the angle between principal meridians and parharmonic curvature variation.

    Main Results:

    • A novel mathematical framework (parastigmatic surfaces) is proposed for irregular corneas.
    • The proposed canonical surface offers a concise formula to describe complex corneal geometries.
    • The method allows for the correction of specific classes of irregular astigmatism using a simple refractive surface.

    Conclusions:

    • Parastigmatic surfaces provide a viable model for nonorthogonal corneal meridians.
    • The canonical surface formula offers a simplified yet comprehensive description of the human cornea.
    • This approach has the potential to improve the correction of irregular astigmatism.
