Ocular burns constitute true ocular emergencies and both thermal and chemical burns
represent potentially blinding ocular injuries. Thermal burns result from accidents associated …

Ex vivo cultured limbal epithelial stem cells have been used successfully to treat corneal
limbal stem cell deficiency. We identified 17 reports of the application of this novel cell …

Background Ocular trauma or disease may lead to severe corneal opacification and,
consequently, severe loss of vision as a result of complete loss of corneal epithelial stem …

AIM To examine the efficacy, safety, and long term outcomes of amniotic membrane
transplantation for corneal surface reconstruction in cases of partial limbal stem cell …

Cultivated human corneal epithelial cells have been successfully used for corneal
reconstruction. Explant and single cell systems are currently used for human corneal …

Human amniotic membrane (AM) is composed of three layers: a single epithelial layer, a
thick basement membrane, and an avascular stroma. Amniotic membrane has anti-adhesive …

Burn wound healing involves a series of complex processes which are subject to intensive
investigations to improve the outcomes, in particular, the healing time and the quality of the …

Corneal epithelial stem cells are adult somatic stem cells located at the limbus and
represent the ultimate source of transparent corneal epithelium. When these limbal stem …

The human corneal surface epithelium is continuously repopulated by the limbal stem cells
(LSCs). Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency (LSCD) can lead to corneal opacity and …

Patients with limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) suffer from photophobia and a severe loss
of vision uncorrectable by conventional PKP. This literature review shows that new …
