A Fine Line: Identifying the Dua’s Layer in Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging
TNOA Journal of Ophthalmic Science and ResearchThe Dua’s layer, also known as the pre-Descemet’s layer, is situated in the posterior cornea between the stroma and Descemet’s membrane. This ultra-thin layer has various clinical implications such as in lamellar corneal surgeries.

Descemet’s Membrane Detachment - An Update
Delhi Journal of Ophthalmology, 2022 Descemet’s membrane is basement membrane of corneal endothelial cells, which in turn are responsible for maintaining corneal transparency. Numerous causes can lead to Descemet’s membrane detachment (DMD), with the most common etiology being post-surgical.

Electrospun Poly (Glycerol Sebacate) (PGS) Membranes for Corneal Tissue Engineering
Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.Fibrous PGS membranes that are composed of homogenous fibers are fabricated by electrospinning. Durability and permeability of the membranes closely resemble the natural cornea. Thereby, successfully supporting the proliferation of human corneal epithelial cells (HCEC) and human corneal endothelial cells (HCEndC).
