This report from ARVO highlights emerging cornea research, such as stem cell advances and other approaches to treating ocular wounds and corneal neovascularization.
The avascular nature of the cornea is necessary for optical clarity and optimal vision.Corneal neovascularization (NV) is a pathologic reaction that can be lethal to eyesight and is caused by many ...
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 ...
CAIRS a reversible, stand-alone option for keratoconus treatment The risk for complications is lower with corneal allogenic intrastromal ring segments.
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 ...
While Swedish scientists have grown stem cells on human corneas, their Spanish counterparts have regenerated the corneal epithelium using cells from the healthy limbus of patients with corneal damage.
Corneal renewal and repair are mediated by stem cells of the limbus, the narrow zone between the cornea and the bulbar conjunctiva. Ocular burns may destroy the limbus, causing limbal stem-cell def ...
The stem cells residing in the limbus have a different role; they are only activated when the cornea is seriously wounded.
Corneal epithelial stem cells reside in the basal layer of the limbus, 1,2 the transitional zone between the cornea and the bulbar conjunctiva.
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 ...
