Severe ocular surface disease can result in limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD), a condition
leading to decreased visual acuity, photophobia, and ocular pain. To restore the ocular …

Destruction of the limbus and depletion of limbal stem cells (LSCs), the adult progenitors of
the corneal epithelium, leads to limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD). LSCD is a rare …

Purpose: Despite extensive knowledge gained over the last 3 decades regarding limbal
stem cell deficiency (LSCD), the disease is not clearly defined, and there is lack of …

Destruction or dysfunction of limbal epithelial stem cells (LESCs) leads to unilateral or
bilateral limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD). Fifteen years have passed since the first …

Corneal and conjunctival epithelia arise from a common ancestral ectoderm cell, then
diverge into distinct lineages. The former develops into a multilayered stratified squamous …

In 1997, the human corneal epithelium was reconstructed in vitro and transplanted on
patients. Later, it became a routine treatment, before regulations considered advanced …

Objective Using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT), we investigated
the epithelial thickness (ET) of the central cornea and limbal regions in patients with limbal …

The cornea, the clear window at the front of the eye, transmits light to the retina to enable
vision. The corneal surface is renewed by stem cells located at the peripheral limbal region …

Purpose To evaluate the efficacy and outcome of simple limbal epithelial transplantation
(SLET) for limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) using epithelial phenotype detection …

Purpose: To evaluate and compare corneal and conjunctival biomarkers for
immunocytochemical diagnosis of limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD). Methods: In …
