Corneal blindness is one of the most common causes of vision loss worldwide, affecting
millions of people. To treat these patients, researchers have been examining different …

The cornea and the skin are both organs that provide the outer barrier of the body. Both
tissues have developed intrinsic mechanisms that protect the organism from a wide range of …

There is a high demand for developing methods to produce more native-like 3D corneal
structures. In the present study, we produced 3D cornea-mimicking tissues using human …

Corneal regeneration has always been a challenge due to its sophisticated structure and
undesirable keratocyte-fibroblast transformation. Herein, we propose 3D printing of a …

Regeneration of a severely damaged cornea necessitates the delivery of both epithelium-
renewing limbal epithelial stem cells (LESCs) and stroma-repairing cells, such as human …

Corneal transplantation remains gold standard for the treatment of severe cornea diseases,
however, scarcity of donor cornea is a serious bottleneck. 3D bioprinting holds tremendous …

In the past decade, adipose tissue became a highly interesting source of adult stem cells for
plastic surgery and regenerative medicine. The isolated stromal vascular fraction (SVF) is a …

Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) communicate with other cells in the human body
and appear to “home” to areas of injury in response to signals of cellular damage, known as …

In 2001, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, described the isolation of a
new population of adult stem cells from liposuctioned adipose tissue. These stem cells, now …

Mesenchymal stem cells have awakened a great deal of interest in regenerative medicine
due to their plasticity, and immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. They are …
