Most of the tissue used for penetrating keratoplasty is issued through eye banks that store
the corneoscleral button either in hypothermic storage at 2–6° C or in organ culture at 31 …

Although the existence of the limbal stem cell (LSC) niche is accepted, precise knowledge of
its three-dimensional (3D) architecture remains incomplete. The LSC niche was explored on …

endothelial cells in patients with Fuchs' dystrophy. methods. Forty-seven corneal buttons …

AIMS Donor organ cultured corneal tissue selection before penetrating keratoplasty is
carried out by taking into account different variables. The objective was to identify …

Aims: The aim of the study was to quantify changes in donor and host corneal tissue after
Descemet's strip** automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) using organ-cultured …
