Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in corneal endothelial dystrophies, keratoconus, and dry eye. The cornea is exposed to UV light and high oxygen tension, making it more susceptible to oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. This Special Issue, titled Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Corneal Diseases, aims to reveal the latest advances in understanding the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in corneal disease. What are the mechanisms that trigger mitochondrial dysfunction in these diseases? How does mitochondrial dysfunction inform the pathological phenotype? What are the possible therapies that can be used to target the mitochondria? Original papers and focused reviews are sought contributions.
