Functional and molecular profiles of the neuroretina and retinal pigmented epithelium-choroid in response to aging and Nrf2 deletion

Becca L. Wells, Adrian Filiberti, David R. Stanford…·Ana J. Chucair‐Elliott

The paper examines how aging and Nrf2 deletion affect visual function and gene expression in the retina and RPE-choroid, finding exacerbated age-related declines in Nrf2-deficient mice.

A cornea-specific role for the Aspergillus fumigatus carbon catabolite repressor, CreA, in tissue penetration and infection establishment

Becca L. Wells, Shi Ying Tang, Manali M. Kamath…·Kevin K. Fuller

This study shows that the Aspergillus fumigatus CreA repressor is critical for corneal infection by enabling hyphal invasion, while gluconeogenesis is not required for infection in lung or cornea.
