Keratoprostheses for corneal blindness: a review of contemporary devices [PDF]
, 2015 According to the World Health Organization, globally 4.9 million are blind due to corneal pathology. Corneal transplantation is successful and curative of the blindness for a majority of these cases. However, it is less successful in a number of diseases

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 ...

Graded potential of neural crest to form cornea, sensory neurons and cartilage along the rostrocaudal axis [PDF]
, 2004 Neural crest cells arising from different rostrocaudal axial levels form different sets of derivatives as diverse as ganglia, cartilage and cornea. These variations may be due to intrinsic properties of the cell populations, different environmental ...

Review: corneal endothelial cell derivation methods from ES/iPS cells
Inflammation and Regeneration, 2019 Globally, approximately 12.7 million people are awaiting a transplantation, while only 185,000 cases of corneal transplantation are performed in a year. Corneal endothelial dysfunction (bullous keratopathy) due to Fuchs’ corneal endothelial dystrophy, or

Macrophage depletion impairs corneal wound healing after autologous transplantation in mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 PURPOSE: Macrophages have been shown to play a critical role in the wound healing process. In the present study, the role of macrophages in wound healing after autologous corneal transplantation was investigated by depleting local infiltrated macrophages.
