This report from ARVO highlights emerging cornea research, such as stem cell advances and other approaches to treating ocular wounds and corneal neovascularization. News & Perspective Drugs & Diseases ...
Injection of a tiny volume (0.01 mL to 0.05 mL) of MMC into the greatest bore corneal vessel immediately inside the limbus (b). Regression of NV after chemoembolization (c).
The limbus may appear thickened and opacified for 360°, accompanied by a peripheral, superficial neovascularization. The apices of these infiltrates may appear as punctate calcified concretions ...
These sutures often loosen with time and incite neovascularization into the donor graft from the limbus. This results in a higher risk for graft rejection, edema, scarring, lipid keratopathy and ...
A group of researchers in Switzerland has published a study appearing in the Oct. 1 advance online edition of the journal Nature that shows how the cornea uses stem cells to repair itself.
Two separate studies from Spain and Sweden have attempted to cue in on developing epithelial cells that keeps the cornea in its transparent form. While Swedish scientists have grown stem cells on.
A clear cornea is essential to visual acuity and depends on stromal avascularity and epithelial integrity. 1 Corneal renewal and repair are mediated by stem cells of the limbus, the narrow zone ...
The limbus is already recognized as a source of cells for corneal stem cell therapy in humans, and this new research indicates that the cornea itself can also be explored as a potential source of ...
We removed the conjunctival and subconjunctival scar tissue from the cornea up to 3 mm outside the limbus to reexpose corneal stroma (Figure 2, and a video clip, available with the full text of ...
