The cornea is critical for vision, and corneal healing after trauma fundamental in maintaining its transparency function. Through the study of injury models, researchers aim to enhance their understanding how heals develop strategies prevent manage opacities. Chemical one most popular models that has extensively been studied on mice. Most previous investigators have used a flat paper soaked sodium hydroxide induce injury. However, inducing limbal using filter unreliable, since mouse highly...
Abstract Skeletal stem cells (SSCs, or mesenchymal stromal typically referred to as from the bone marrow) are a dynamic progenitor population that can enter quiescence, self-renew differentiate depending on regenerative demand and cues their niche environment. However, ex vivo, in culture, they grown hard polystyrene surfaces, this leads rapid loss of SSC phenotype. While materials being developed control growth differentiation, very few examples interfaces reflect plastic nature have, date,...
Corneal blindness is the fourth most common cause of vision impairment worldwide with a high incidence in global south countries. A recently developed surgical technique for treating corneal simple limbal epithelial transplantation (SLET), which uses small pieces healthy tissue (limbal explants) delivered to damaged eye using human amniotic membrane (AM) as carrier. SLET relies on use banks AM that reduces availability technique. Replacing synthetic key making more accessible those who need...
