Journal ArticleDOI

Generation of stratified squamous epithelial progenitor cells from mouse induced pluripotent stem cells.

TL;DR: These results suggest that KRT14 and p63 double-positive epithelial progenitor cells can be cloned from iPS cells in order to produce polarized multilayer epithelial cell sheets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transplantation of corneal endothelium with Descemet's membrane using a hyroxyethyl methacrylate polymer as a carrier.

TL;DR: Transplantation of Descemet’s membrane by CCD produces a functional graft with an optically clear interface similar to control cornea, and rabbit control eyes demonstrated stromal oedema caused by loss ofdescemet's membrane, whereas transplanted eyes had clear corneas.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of 2% rebamipide ophthalmic solution on the tear functions and ocular surface of the superoxide dismutase-1 (sod1) knockout mice.

TL;DR: Application of 2% rebamipide ophthalmic solution for 2 weeks significantly improved the tear film break-up time, the amount of tear production, and the corneal epithelial damage scores, which also significantly increased the conjunctival goblet cell density and muc5 mRNA expression, in the Sod1(-/-) mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combination Therapy With Diquafosol Tetrasodium and Sodium Hyaluronate in Patients With Dry Eye After Laser In Situ Keratomileusis

TL;DR: The results suggest that hyaluronate and diquafosol combination therapy is beneficial for early stabilization of visual performance and improvement of subjective dry eye symptoms in patients after LASIK.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ocular surface treatment before laser in situ keratomileusis in patients with severe dry eye.

TL;DR: LASIK can be safely and effectively managed in patients with severe dry eye with reduced reflex tearing by preoperative and postoperative treatments consisting of a combination of artificial tears, topical autologous serum, and punctal occlusion.
