Bioinspired Tissue Transparency: Achieving Sclera‐to‐Cornea Transplantation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A bioinspired decellularization‐compression‐locking tactic (DCLT) is developed to transform human sclerae into transparent corneal substitutes. These clear, robust, and pro‐regenerative substitutes are capable of repairing complex corneal injuries, including chemical burns, keratoconus, and penetrating wounds, demonstrating their clinical potential to ...
