Tissue Membranes

10.4K
A tissue membrane is a thin layer of cells that covers the outside of the body, the organs, internal passageways that lead to the exterior of the body, and the lining of the moveable joint cavities. There are two basic types of tissue membranes— connective tissue and epithelial membranes.
Connective Tissue Membranes
The connective tissue membrane is formed solely from connective tissue. These membranes encapsulate organs, such as the kidneys, and line our movable joints. A synovial...

What are Membranes?

208.3K
A key characteristic of life is the ability to separate the external environment from the internal space. To do this, cells have evolved semi-permeable membranes that regulate the passage of biological molecules. Additionally, the cell membrane defines a cell’s shape and interactions with the external environment. Eukaryotic cell membranes also serve to compartmentalize the internal space into organelles, including the endomembrane structures of the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum and...

Potentiometry: Membrane Electrodes

2.0K
Membrane electrodes, also known as p-ion electrodes, use membranes that selectively interact with free analyte ions, generating a potential difference across the membrane. The resulting membrane potential, known as the asymmetry potential, is not zero even when analyte concentrations on both sides of the membrane are equal. The membrane's response is typically not selective to a single analyte but proportional to the concentration of all ions in the sample solution capable of interacting at...

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Regenerative Medicine

    Background:

    • Amniotic membrane possesses unique properties beneficial for treating ocular pathologies.
    • It supports conjunctival and corneal epithelialization, improving ocular surface disease management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and indications of amniotic membrane transplantation for ocular surface diseases.
    • To analyze transplant success rates and re-transplantation needs.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 71 patients undergoing amniotic membrane transplantation between 2013-2015.
    • Evaluation of indications, number of transplants, failures, and re-transplantations.

    Main Results:

    • Corneal ulcer (30.68%) was the most common indication, followed by bullous keratopathy (11.36%) and herpetic keratitis (9.10%).
    • Amniotic membrane transplantation was performed on 71 patients, with a slight predominance of female patients (53.5%).
    • The procedure was successful in preventing more aggressive treatments like keratoplasty for certain conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • Amniotic membrane transplantation is a suitable treatment for ocular surface diseases unresponsive to conservative therapies.
    • It can avert or postpone the need for keratoplasty and manage inflammation effectively.
