Researchers successfully pulled off the first eye stem cell transplants to help heal cornea damage, and the results speak for ...

In these instances, the cornea is permanently damaged ... In this procedure — known as "cultivated autologous limbal epithelial cell transplantation" — doctors take stem cells from the ...

The cornea is the clear, outermost layer of the eye. It's outer border, the limbus, contains a large volume of healthy stem cells called limbal epithelial cells, which maintain the eye's smooth ...

The study evaluated 14 patients that were treated with cultivated autologous limbal epithelial cells (CALEC) and followed ...

The study was led by Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts Eye and Ear researchers and surgeons. The researchers reported ...

Also, it was shown recently that in the rabbit cornea the epithelium is the source of an active sodium transport system, and the endothelium shows only a passive behaviour in relation to the ...

Transplanted epithelial stem cells from a healthy eye repaired irreversible corneal injury and restored at least partial vision in more than 90% of patients, a preliminary clinical study showed.

Epi-on corneal crosslinking is advancing through innovations like supplemental oxygen, chemical oxygenation, and ...

limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD), which prevents the renewal of the corneal epithelium, eventually leading to incurable corneal damage; and corneal neovascularization, a process in which blood ...
