Long-term observation after transplantation of cultured human corneal endothelial cells for corneal endothelial dysfunction

Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2022
Background Corneal transplantation is the only way to treat serious corneal diseases caused by corneal endothelial dysfunction. However, the shortage of donor corneal tissues and human corneal endothelial cells (HCECs) remains a worldwide challenge.

A native-like corneal construct using donor corneal stroma for tissue engineering. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Tissue engineering holds great promise for corneal transplantation to treat blinding diseases. This study was to explore the use of natural corneal stroma as an optimal substrate to construct a native like corneal equivalent. Human corneal epithelium was

Corneal transplantation in Britain [PDF]

BMJ, 1995
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 ...
