Limbal Biopsy Derived Stromal Stem Cells Prevent Corneal Scarring

TL;DR: Direct treatment of corneal scarring is investigated using autologous stem cells, a therapy that, if successful, could reduce the need for Corneal grafts.
Journal Article

N-Cadherin is Expressed by Putative Stem/Progenitor Cells and Melanocytes in the Human Limbal Epithelial Stem Cell Niche

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that N-cadherin is expressed by putative stem/progenitor cells, as well as melanocytes, in the human limbal epithelial stem cell niche.

Cell Therapy of Congenital Corneal Diseases with Umbilical Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Lumican Null Mice - eScholarship

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors used mesenchymal stem cells from neonatal umbilical cords to treat thin and cloudy corneas of lumican null mice, which significantly improved corneal transparency and increased stromal thickness.
Journal Article

ROCK inhibitor enhances adhesion and wound healing on human corneal endothelial cells

TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time in human corneal endothelial cells ex vivo and in vitro, that ROCK inhibitor did not induce any toxicity effect and did not alter cell viability, and its absence of toxicity, as demonstrated herein, is relevant for its use in human therapy.
Journal Article

Differentiation Potential of Limbal Fibroblasts and Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells to Corneal Epithelial Cells

TL;DR: Reprogramming stage‐specific embryonic antigen‐4 (SSEA4+) LFs and BM MSCs are reprogramed into corneal epithelial lineage using a three‐dimensional culture system and embryonic stem cell medium to investigate the molecular mechanism involved in maintaining a limbal stem cell niche and thus a potentially important clinical application to treat cornean epithelial stem cell loss.

Successful transplantation of in vitro expanded human cadaver corneal endothelial precursor cells on to a cadaver bovine's eye using a nanocomposite gel sheet.

TL;DR: The use of the NC gel sheet makes HCEP cell transplantation feasible for human patients, and further in vitro basic studies followed by translational studies are necessary to bring this method for clinical application in appropriate indications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Muse cell spheroids have therapeutic effect on corneal scarring wound in mice and tree shrews.

TL;DR: The results suggest that Muse-CSCs have therapeutic potential for treating corneal diseases and multilineage-differentiating stress-enduring (Muse) cells were isolated from lipoaspirate, which presented biphenotype properties of both pluripotent stem cells and some mesenchymal stem cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of an Eye Model With a Physiological Blink Mechanism.

TL;DR: This model simulates a physiological blink actuation and an artificial tear film layer that could be used to study in vitro TBUT, tear deposition, and simple drug delivery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mini-Sheet Injection for Cultured Corneal Endothelial Transplantation

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the novel mini-sheet injection of corneal endothelial cells exhibited rapid adhesion, tight junction formation, andCorneal clarity recovery, which may represent a more efficient method for the transplantation of cultured corneals endothelium cells.
