Evaluation of interface quality in organ-cultured lamellar corneal transplants [PDF]
, 2012 Background: With increasing numbers of lamellar keratoplasties, eye banks are challenged to deliver precut lamellar donor tissue. In Europe, the most common technique of corneal storage is organ culture which requires a deswelling process before surgical

Histomorphometrical and histochemical postnatal development of cornea in indigenous rabbits [PDF]
Iraqi Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2022 The present study aims to clarify corneal development via analyzing of the histomorphologic and some histochemical parameters in local rabbits. Samples were collected from 25 Rabbits divided into five different age groups at 1, 10, 15, 30, and 40 ...

Arginine depletion as a mechanism for the immune privilege of corneal allografts. [PDF]
, 2011 The cornea is an immune privileged tissue. Since arginase has been found to modulate T-cell function by depleting arginine, we investigated the expression of arginase in the cornea and its possible role in immune privilege using a murine transplant model.

Ex vivo expansion of bovine corneal endothelial cells in xeno-free medium supplemented with platelet releasate. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Clinical-grade ex vivo expansion of corneal endothelial cells can increase the availability of corneal tissues for transplantation and treatment of corneal blindness. However, these cells have very limited proliferative capacity.

Regenerative capacity of the corneal transition zone for endothelial cell therapy
Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2020 The corneal endothelium located on the posterior corneal surface is responsible for regulating stromal hydration. This is contributed by a monolayer of corneal endothelial cells (CECs), which are metabolically active in a continuous fluid-coupled efflux ...

Corneal changes in soft contact lens wearers
Journal of Clinical Ophthalmology and Research, 2016 There is abundance of physiological and pathological evidence of individual variations in response to soft contact lens wear. Purpose of the study was to observe and to measure changes in corneal curvature, corneal endothelium, corneal thickness and tear-

Evaluation of Corneal Endothelium by Specular Microscopy in Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome
Ahi Evran Medical Journal, 2021 Purpose: To evaluate the corneal endothelium of patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES) by specular microscopy (SM). Materials and Methods: In this prospective controlled study, two groups were formed, namely the PES group and the control group.
