Corneal transplantation in Britain [PDF]
Over 3000 corneal transplant operations are performed each year in Britain, making this the commonest type of allografting. In most procedures a full thickness corneal button, about 8 mm in diameter, is removed and replaced. The change from using fresh tissue (within 24 hours of death) to stored tissue during the 1980s converted keratoplasty from an ...

3D‐Printed Corneal Substitutes: Materials, Fabrication, and Preclinical Progress
Successful clinical translation of 3D‐printed corneal substitutes relies on the interplay between the bioink properties, cellular component, and the fabrication process. These factors influence the critical properties of the construct, including optical transparency, mechanical stability, suture retention, that ultimately govern long‐term stromal ...

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) show promise for treating immune‐related disorders through immunomodulation and tissue regeneration. This review gives a brief overview of current clinical approval of MSC therapies. It also discussed how bioengineering, including genetic modification, biomaterial delivery, extracellular vesicles, and iPSC‐derived MSCs,

Body donor programs in Australia and New Zealand: Current status and future opportunities
Abstract Body donation is critical to anatomy study in Australia and New Zealand. Annually, more than 10,000 students, anatomists, researchers, and clinicians access tissue donated by local consented donors through university‐based body donation programs. However, little research has been published about their operations.

Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature
Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...

Abstract The intestinal microbiome plays a pivotal role in maintaining host health through its involvement in gastrointestinal, immune, and central nervous system (CNS) functions. Recent evidence underscores the bidirectional communication between the microbiota, the gut, and the brain and the impact of this axis on neurological diseases, including ...

Immunosuppression in corneal transplantation [PDF]
This paper reviews the clinical post-operative management of keratoplasty and the management of corneal graft rejection. In both instances corticosteroids remain the mainstay of treatment; however, the literature shows a wide range for both route and frequency of administration.

Stem Cell‐Based Approaches for Neurotrophic Keratopathy: From Ocular Surface to Neuro‐Ophthalmology
ABSTRACT Neurotrophic keratopathy is an uncommon, but potentially sight‐threatening, corneal disorder that results from impaired trigeminal sensory innervation. The loss of corneal sensation disrupts epithelial stability, weakens wound healing, and may lead to persistent epithelial defects, stromal ulceration, and, in the most advanced cases, corneal ...
