Background: Limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) leads to growth of abnormal fibro-vascular
pannus tissue onto the corneal surface as well as chronic inflammation and impaired vision …

Limbal stem cells (LSCs) have an important role in the maintenance of the corneal surface

PURPOSE: To report the clinical outcomes of penetrating keratoplasty (PK) after autologous
cultivated limbal epithelial transplantation in eyes with limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) …

The presence of a clear cornea is required for vision, and corneal epithelial cells play a key
role. There is a long held view, supported by decades of study, that corneal epithelial stem …
