Endothelial progenitor cells are circulating blood cells derived from various sources like
bone marrow, spleen, umbilical cord, liver, kidney and other sources that play a vital role in …

Background Cataracts are a common eye disease and a major cause of blindness in China
and worldwide. In China, the incidence of cataracts among people over 60 years old is as …

The corneal endothelium is critical for maintaining corneal clarity by mediating hydration
through barrier and pump functions. Progressive loss of corneal endothelial cells during …

To expand multi-potent progenitors from human trabecular meshwork (TM), we have created
a new optimized method on two-dimensional (2D) followed by three–dimensional (3D) …

The tissues at the ocular surface include the cornea, the conjunctiva, and the intervening
zone of the limbus; the regions are shown diagrammatically and histologically in Fig.. The …

Purpose: Corneal endothelial dystrophies are characterized by endothelial cell loss and
dysfunction. Recent evidence suggests that corneal endothelial cells (CECs) can regenerate …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether type 2 diabetes mellitus
(T2DM) makes corneal endothelial cells (CECs) suffer from more severe ultraviolet A (UVA) …

Human corneal endothelial cells are responsible for controlling corneal transparency,
however they are notorious for their limited proliferative capability. Thus, damage to these …

Purpose: To assess whether injured porcine endothelium of small and large corneoscleral
disc differ in its reparative/regenerative capacity under various conditions of organ culture …

Endothelial cell migration plays a crucial role in achieving corneal clearance after corneal
transplantation when using smaller-sized endothelial grafts to increase the donor pool. In …
