The cornea is unique because of its complete avascularity. Corneal neovascularization
(CNV) can result from a variety of etiologies including contact lens wear; corneal infections; …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), an ideal cell source for regenerative therapy with no
ethical issues, play an important role in diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). Growing evidence has …

To treat unilateral limbal stem cell (LSC) deficiency, we developed cultivated autologous
limbal epithelial cells (CALEC) using an innovative xenobiotic-free, serum-free, antibiotic …

Purpose This study describes the long-term clinical outcomes of autologous simple limbal
epithelial transplantation (SLET), a relatively new technique of limbal stem cell …

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 …

The corneal epithelium is continuously renewed by limbal stem/progenitor cells (LSCs), a
cell population harbored in a highly regulated niche located at the limbus. Dysfunction …

Simple limbal epithelial transplantation (SLET) is an innovative limbal stem cell
transplantation technique that has gained increasing popularity over the last few years …

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 …

Regeneration of the corneal surface after an epithelial insult involves division, migration,
and maturation of a specialized group of stem cells located in the limbus. Several insults …
