Abstract Late‐onset Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is the most common primary disease of the corneal endothelium and the leading indication for corneal transplantation in Western countries. It is characterized by progressive accumulation, over two to three decades, of extracellular matrix (ECM) components in Descemet's membrane (DM ...

Exploring the histopathological signature of repeat‐mediated Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy
Abstract Purpose To determine the histological differences between Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) cases with and without the most common genetic risk factor, expansion of a CTG repeat (CTG18.1) within the TCF4 gene. Methods Formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded corneal tissues were compared retrospectively, and CTG18.1 status was determined from

ABSTRACT The corneal endothelium is a monolayer of specialized cells that maintains stromal deturgescence and transparency, functions essential for vision. Despite its clinical importance, the developmental origins and homeostatic programs of the endothelium remain poorly understood, in part due to the lack of a lineage‐specific genetic driver.

Management of Descemet’s Membrane Detachment after Cataract Surgery—A Case Series
Descemet’s membrane detachment (DMD) is an uncommon, vision-threatening, ocular surface complication of cataract surgery. Among several treatment strategies, sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) descemetopexy is the standard of care.

iPSC‐derived corneal endothelial cells purified via a novel wash‐out method show high functional fidelity, resemble primary CECs, and restore corneal clarity in vivo, offering a scalable alternative to donor transplantation. ABSTRACT Corneal endothelial failure can cause blindness, with transplantation as the only treatment.
