Artificial Cornea Substitute Based on Hydrogel Skeletons with Natural Stromal Hierarchical Structure and Extracellular Matrix for Sutureless Transplantation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Humanized corneal stroma‐like adhesive patches (HCSPs) are developed for lamellar keratoplasty and corneal perforation repair. HCSPs exhibit histological, optical, and biomechanical characteristics similar to those of the natural cornea, with improved wet tissue adhesion, anti‐degradation, and anti‐swelling capabilities compared to conventional tissue ...

Delivery of Human iPSC‐Derived RPE Cells in Healthy Minipig Retina Results in Interaction Between Photoreceptors and Transplanted Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Human induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived retinal pigment epithelial (hiPSC‐RPE) cells, cultured on a clinically relevant PDLLA scaffold, are transplanted into immunosuppressed minipigs. The study demonstrates the viability, integration, and preservation of RPE‐specific features without gliosis or neuroinflammation, supporting their potential as a ...

Treatment of donor corneal tissue with immunomodulatory cytokines: a novel strategy to promote graft survival in high-risk corneal transplantation

Scientific Reports, 2017
Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) play an important role in transplant rejection and tolerance. In high-risk corneal transplantation, where the graft bed is inflamed and vascularized, immature APCs in the donor corneal stroma quickly mature and migrate to ...

Intestinal microbiome alterations in pediatric epilepsy: Implications for seizures and therapeutic approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
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 ...

Intrastromal graft of anterior lens capsule. A substitute for Bowman layer graft transplantation for keratoconus.

PLoS ONE
PurposeThe shortage of donor corneas limits Bowman layer transplantation for keratoconus. In this study, we evaluate the clinical outcome of porcine anterior lens capsule (xenograft) transplantation in the corneal stroma of a rabbit model as substitute ...
