The aim of this work was to evaluate semi-synthetic biopolymers based on chitosan (CH)
and gelatin (G) as potential in vitro carrier substrata for human limbal epithelial cells …

Some chemicals or thermal burns may result in abnormal reepithelialization by conjunctival
epithelial cells and it causes different types of damage on the cornea surface. When …

Blend membranes based on polysaccharides are used in tissue engineering. In this study,
six groups of blend membranes were prepared with carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCTS) or …

The aim of this study was to develop a blend of nanofibrous poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-
hydroxyvalerate)(PHBV)/gelatin substrate for limbal stem cell (LSC) expansion that can …

Novel polymeric hydrogel scaffolds for corneal epithelium cell culturing based on blends of
chitosan with some other biopolymers such as hydroxypropylcellulose, collagen and elastin …

Currently, damage to the ocular surface can be repaired by transferring laboratory cultured
limbal epithelial cells (LECs) to the cornea using donor human amniotic membrane as the …

Limbal tissues can be cultured on various types of scaffolds to create a sheet of limbal‐
corneal epithelium for research as well as clinical transplantation. An optically clear …

Purpose/Aim: Corneal epithelial stem cells have been used for the treatment of total limbal
deficiency with corneal conjunctivalization and decreased vision secondary to a variety of …

Extensive damage to the limbal region of the cornea leads to a severe form of corneal
blindness termed as limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD). Whereas most cases of corneal …

A novel chitosan-based membrane that made of hydroxyethyl chitosan, gelatin and
chondroitin sulfate was used as a carrier of corneal endothelial cells. The characteristics of …
