The corneal stroma plays several pivotal roles within the eye. Optically, it is the main
refracting lens and thus has to combine almost perfect transmission of visible light with …

No other tissue in the body depends more on the composition and organization of the
extracellular matrix (ECM) for normal structure and function than the corneal stroma. The …

Visual impairment from corneal stromal disease affects millions worldwide. We describe a
cell-free engineered corneal tissue, bioengineered porcine construct, double crosslinked …

Tissue engineering requires not only tissue‐specific functionality but also a realistic scale.
Decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) is presently applied to the extrusion‐based 3D …

Scientific investigations involving collagen have inspired tissue engineering and design of
biomaterials since collagen fibrils and their networks primarily regulate and define most …

Drs. Paul L. Kaufman, Albert Alm, Leonard A Levin, Siv FE Nilsson, James Ver Hoeve, and
Samuel Wu present the 11th Edition of the classic text Adler's Physiology of the Eye …

In cases of blinding disease or trauma, hydrogels have been proposed as scaffolds for
corneal regeneration and vehicles for ocular drug delivery. Restoration of corneal …

Purpose.: Loss of corneal strength is a central feature of keratoconus progression. However,
it is currently difficult to measure corneal mechanical changes noninvasively. The objective …

Although the effects of central corneal thickness and corneal curvature on intraocular
pressure measurement are well known, it has only recently become possible to measure the …

Conventional allograft therapy for corneal scarring is widespread and successful, but donor
tissue is not universally available, and some grafts fail owing to rejection and complications …
