Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Regenerative medicine (RM) exploits stem cells to construct biological replacements and repair damaged tissues, offering an alternative to daunting organ transplantation. Even while RM has advanced quickly, building an entire organ remains beyond our capabilities.

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 102, Issue 7, Page e994-e1001, November 2024.Abstract Purpose To propose the optimal value of baseline corneal astigmatism and pterygial morphological profiles for primary pterygium surgery to restore the corneal optical properties. Methods We analysed 93 eyes from 84 subjects with nasal‐only primary pterygium who underwent pterygium excision with conjunctival‐limbal autograft and were assessed ...
