The cornea is a transparent tissue with significant refractive and barrier functions. The
epithelium serves as the principal barrier to fluid and pathogens, a function performed …

The corneal wound healing response, including the development of stromal opacity in some
eyes, is a process that often leads to scarring that occurs after injury, surgery or infection to …

Purpose Single cell (sc) analyses of key embryonic, fetal and adult stages were performed to
generate a comprehensive single cell atlas of all the corneal and adjacent conjunctival cell …

Our knowledge of proteoglycan biology has significantly expanded over the past decade
with the discovery of a host of new members of this multifunctional family leading to their …

Purpose In recent years, the interest in corneal biomechanics has strongly increased. The
material properties of the cornea determine its shape and therefore play an important role in …

Purpose: The corneal wound healing response is of particular relevance for refractive
surgical procedures since it is a major determinant of efficacy and safety. The purpose of this …

The cornea is a tough transparent tissue admitting and focusing light in the eye. More than
90% of the cornea is stroma, a highly organized, transparent connective tissue maintained …

Abstract 3D bioprinting technology is a promising approach for corneal stromal tissue
regeneration. In this study, gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) mixed with corneal stromal cells …

Development of the anterior segment of the eye requires reciprocal sequential interactions
between the arising tissues, facilitated by numerous genetic factors. Disruption of any of …

In mammals, penetrating injuries typically heal by deposition of fibrotic “repair tissue” that
fills and seals wounds but does not restore normal function. Excessive deposition of fibrotic …
