Regenerative capacity of the corneal transition zone for endothelial cell therapy

Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2020
The corneal endothelium located on the posterior corneal surface is responsible for regulating stromal hydration. This is contributed by a monolayer of corneal endothelial cells (CECs), which are metabolically active in a continuous fluid-coupled efflux ...

Immune cells on the corneal endothelium of an allogeneic corneal transplantation rabbit model [PDF]

, 2017
PURPOSE. Corneal endothelial cell density undergoes a progressive decrease for many years after transplantation, eventually threatening patients with late endothelial failure. The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of an immunologic

Activation of TGF-β signaling induces cell death via the unfolded protein response in Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy

Scientific Reports, 2017
Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is a slowly progressive bilateral disease of corneal endothelium in which accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) and loss of corneal endothelial cells (CECs) are phenotypic features.

Advances in culture, expansion and mechanistic studies of corneal endothelial cells: a systematic review

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2019
Human corneal endothelial cells are notorious for their restricted proliferative ability in vivo and in vitro. Hence, injury or dysfunction of these cells may easily result in blindness.
