A Native-Like Corneal Construct Using Donor Corneal Stroma for Tissue Engineering
Tissue engineering holds great promise for corneal transplantation to treat blinding diseases. This study was to explore the use of natural corneal stroma as an optimal substrate to construct a native like corneal equivalent. Human corneal epithelium was cultivated from donor limbal explants on corneal stromal discs prepared by FDA approved Horizon Epikeratome system. The morphology, phenotype,...
متن کاملCollagen fibrils in the human corneal stroma: structure and aging.
PURPOSE Transparency and biomechanical properties of the cornea depend on the structure and organization of collagen fibrils. The authors determined diameter, axial period, and lateral molecular spacing of collagen fibrils in human corneal stroma as a function of age. METHODS Seventeen normal human corneas were investigated in their native state by means of small-angle and wide-angle x-ray sc...
متن کاملRole of Human Corneal Stroma-Derived Mesenchymal-Like Stem Cells in Corneal Immunity and Wound Healing
Corneal tissue regeneration is of crucial importance for maintaining normal vision. We aimed to isolate and cultivate human corneal stroma-derived mesenchymal stem-like cells (CSMSCs) from the central part of cadaver corneas and study their phenotype, multipotency, role in immunity and wound healing. The isolated cells grew as monolayers in vitro, expressed mesenchymal- and stemness-related sur...
متن کاملCorneal Stroma Regeneration with Acellular Corneal Stroma Sheets and Keratocytes in a Rabbit Model
Acellular corneal stroma matrix has been used for corneal stroma engineering. However, because of its compact tissue structure, regrowth of keratocytes into the scaffold is difficult. Previously, we developed a sandwich model for cartilage engineering using acellular cartilage sheets. In the present study, we tested this model for corneal stroma regeneration using acellular porcine corneal stro...
متن کاملSurvival of donor-derived cells in human corneal transplants.
PURPOSE To determine the fate of donor epithelial, stromal, and endothelial cells after corneal transplantation in humans. METHODS Fifty-two transplanted corneal buttons were explanted over a 2-year period from patients who required regrafting and had received corneas from donors of opposite sex. Fluorescence in situ hybridization of the sex chromosomes of the epithelial, stromal, and endothe...
