Phenotypic and functional characterization of corneal endothelial cells during in vitro expansion. [PDF]
The advent of cell culture-based methods for the establishment and expansion of human corneal endothelial cells (CEnC) has provided a source of transplantable corneal endothelium, with a significant potential to challenge the one donor-one recipient ...

A simplified ex vivo model to learn the correct orientation of Descemet membrane endothelial graft
We describe a simple, endoilluminator-assisted technique, which enables an easy identification of the descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty graft orientation, as well as provides its good visualization in the anterior chamber, during all the steps ...

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 ...

Comparative outcomes of penetrating and component endothelial cell corneal allografts in outbred sheep [PDF]
Lamellar (component-cell) corneal transplantation is replacing penetrating keratoplasty for some corneal disorders in humans; but the relative risks of immunological graft rejection for the two procedures are uncertain.
