CsA is a potent inducer of NGF in the HCECL. These results suggest that CsA mediates NGF expression through activation of p38 and NFAT5.

We introduce hybrid solar cells with an architecture consisting of an electrodeposited ZnO nanorod array (NRA) coated with a conformal thin layer (<50 nm) of organic polymer-fullerene blend and a quasi-conformal Ag top contact (Thin/NR). We have compared the performance of Thin/NR cells to conventional hybrid cells in which the same NRAs are completely filled with organic blend (Thick/NR). The Thin/NR design absorbs at least as much light as Thick/NR cells, while charge extraction is significantly enhanced due to the proximity of the electrodes, resulting in a higher current density per unit volume of blend and improved power conversion efficiency. The NRAs need not be periodic or aligned and hence can be made very simply.

IGF-1 is induced by AMCM during HCEC proliferation, and this induction may play an important role in the amniotic membrane during HCEC proliferation and migration in several intractable corneal epithelial defects.
