Artificial Corneas Restore Vision to a Legally Blind Man:

An artificial cornea developed by an Israeli company has been successfully implanted in the eye of a man who lost his sight a decade ago.

According to a release by CorNeat Vision, the 78-year-old patient regained his vision after the CorNeat KPro device was implanted into the eye.

In this image, you see what an artificial cornea actually looks like. This one was made by the union of a donor cornea and a prosthesis. This aritfiical cornea is known as the Boston Keratoprosthesis type 1.

This is implanted when penetrating keratoplasty is not possible to perform.

Different biological variants discovered in Alzheimer's disease

The researchers examined 1058 proteins in the cerebrospinal fluid of 419 people with Alzheimer's disease. They found that there are five biological variants within this group.

The first variant is characterized by increased amyloid production. In a second type, the blood-brain barrier is disrupted and there is a reduced amyloid production and less nerve cells growth.

Furthermore, the variants differ in the degree of protein synthesis, the functioning of the immune system, and the functioning of the organ that produces cerebrospinal fluid. Patients with different Alzheimer's variants also showed differences in other aspects of the disease. For example, the researchers found a faster course of the disease in certain subgroups.
