15 صفحه اولCorneal epithelial wound healing.
The corneal surface is, without question, the most specialised 123 mm2* of the body's surface. It forms an integral part of the ocular surface with which it shares several anatomical and physiological attributes. Like the rest ofthe body surface, it is in a state of constant 'healing'. Squamous epithelial cells are continually shed into the tear pool and simultaneously replenished by cells movi...
متن کاملEggshell membrane: A unique waste biomaterial with multidisciplinary applications
Eggshell membrane (ESM) is a unique biomaterial, which is generally considered waste. However, it has extraordinary properties which can be utilized in various fields and therefore it is being widely studied these days. Within this paper, the examples of multidisciplinary applications of the ESM are given. The author has published a review paper on this topic recently (Baláž, 2014a). Particular...
متن کاملNanofibrous Scaffolds for Orderly Corneal Wound Healing
Statement of Purpose: Corneal blindness deprives 10 million people worldwide of their sight. Current treatments for corneal blindness mainly rely on implants that replace the injured tissue and have been clinically unsuccessful thus far. The goal of this project is to prevent corneal blindness by developing clinically-viable scaffolds that promote orderly corneal wound healing using biochemical...
متن کاملThe conjunctiva in corneal epithelial wound healing.
BACKGROUND/AIMS During the healing of corneal epithelial wounds with limbal involvement, conjunctival epithelium often migrates across the denuded limbus to cover the corneal surface. It is believed that, over a period of time, conjunctival epithelium covering the cornea assumes characteristics of corneal epithelium by a process referred to as conjunctival transdifferentiation. The purpose of t...
