The cornea and the skin are both organs that provide the outer barrier of the body. Both
tissues have developed intrinsic mechanisms that protect the organism from a wide range of …

There is a high demand for develo** methods to produce more native-like 3D corneal
structures. In the present study, we produced 3D cornea-mimicking tissues using human …

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 …

The cornea, as a dynamic and responsive tissue, constantly interacts with mechanical forces
in order to maintain its structural integrity, barrier function, transparency and refractive …

The corneal stroma contains a population of mesenchymal cells subjacent to the limbal
basement membrane with characteristics of adult stem cells. These 'niche cells' support …

Corneal blindness is a major cause of blindness in the world and corneal transplantation is
the only widely accepted treatment to restore sight in these eyes. However, it is becoming …

Corneal blindness afflicts millions of individuals worldwide and is currently treated by
grafting with cadaveric tissues; however, there are worldwide donor tissue shortages, and …

The limbus is a transition from the cornea to conjunctiva and sclera. In human eyes, this thin
strip has a rich variation of tissue structures and composition, typifying a change from scleral …

The cornea is the outmost layer of the eye, unique in its transparency and strength. The
cornea not only transmits the light essential for vision, also refracts light, giving focus to …
