Congrats Jenna, Michael, Jackson, and Isaiah on the new article; Jenna and Isaiah's first with the lab! Of note, our data is the first showing that non-canonical EphA2 signaling is active in normal lenses, and our results suggest a physiological function. t.ly/7i8Ve
Happy Birthday to Gryffin! Glad we were able to fit in a birthday lunch amidst all the work and study!
Dr. Cheng's chapter on Lens Structure is now available digitally, ahead of the full Encyclopedia of the Eye, 2nd Edition's physical print. Contact our lab ([email protected] or [email protected]) to get a digital copy of the chapter!

We recently had Dr. Yuka Okada visit us for some research and some fun! Thanks for coming Yuka, we'll see you again soon!
Read our new review on tissue, cellular, & molecular factors for lens biomechanics in @FrontOphthalmol! Increased lens stiffness & decreased elasticity are long believed to contribute age-related loss of accommodation, presbyopia, & thus reading glasses. frontiersin.org/journals/oph…
Very excited to share that Gryffin Flowers was awarded a scholarship from @IU_Optometry to pursue his M.S. degree alongside his O.D.! His research project investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms affecting eye lens biomechanical properties. Way to go, Gryffin!

Congrats to Jenna Horner & Gryffin Flowers on earning best talk and best poster awards at Heartland Vision Research Symposium 2024! HVRS highlights innovative vision research from the US heartland, this year, the keynote was Dr. Michael Chiang, @NEIDirector.
Take a look at @PeterTheHuynh first article with our lab where he further narrows the list of potential EphA2 and ephrin-A5 binding partners within the lens! This opens the way for more effective and informative protein work within the lens! Have a read: frontiersin.org/journals/oph…
