Pathological wound healing leads to fibrosis and harmful scar tissue formation. The process of glaucoma is associated with excessive deposition of extracellular matrix in the trabecular meshwork and optic nerve regions with resultant fibrosis. In addition, post trabeculectomy conjunctival scarring results in surgical failure. Understanding the mechanisms involved (especially the key role of contractile myofibroblasts) will help to identify targets for appropriate therapeutic interventions. This mini-symposium will present an update on our current knowledge of fibrosis mechanisms in conjunctival scarring and matrix alterations in the trabecular meshwork and optic nerve in glaucoma.

Because of their ease of application and therapeutic potential due to low molecular weight, and potency they influence the course of inflammation, autoimmune disease, graft rejection, and infection. Understanding the mechanisms of both pro and anti-inflammatory neuropeptide regulation of inflammation has the potential to facilitate use of these molecules for ocular inflammatory and infectious disease control.

The physiology and pharmacology of the receptors and their signal transduction pathways activated by these agents will be delineated. Furthermore, the involvement of various peptides in diseases/ disorders of the eye and thus the potential new treatment modalities will also be discussed.

However, many challenges may arise in the design and carrying out of a rigorous clinical trial that requires long-term follow-up and selection of meaningful outcome measures appropriate for both the intervention and subject population. Opportunities and challenges in this emerging field will be discussed by a panel of speakers with extensive experience in conducting clinical trials with visually impaired individuals. Several examples of scientific misconduct have been in the news. This workshop will present what scientific misconduct constitutes, what process should be followed if scientific misconduct is suspected, what means are present to protect whistleblowers and also explore methods to reduce misconduct in the future. Examples of misconduct and of good behavior to reduce the possibility of fraudulent data are presented. Speakers include leaders in investigative oversight who have been involved in the process and science writers of scientific misconduct.

Jerry Y. Niederkorn, K. Paunicka, J. Mellon. Ophthalmology, Univ Texas Southwestern Med Ctr, Dallas, TX *CR 278 Regulation of Eye Development via Common Transcription Factors and Signaling Pathways-Minisymposium Major advances in the field of ocular development offer novel insights into the causes of ocular developmental abnormalities in human and provide insight into the formation of eye at the cellular, molecular and genetic levels. Understanding of normal eye development is required for better diagnosis and treatment of ocular defects including the rational design of cell replacement therapies that include adult stem cells and tissue-engineering using cells generated through the process of embryonic stem (ES) cell differentiation. The goal of this Minisymposium is to provide an integrative view of eye development and to demonstrate multifunctionality of key regulatory genes such as Pax6, Sox2 and AP-2 in different eye cells and tissues. Studies in Drosophila have led to novel concepts how signals from multiple signal transduction pathways converge to regulate a small network of regulatory genes using combinatorial principles that are generally applicable for mammalian systems.
