Abstract excerpt
The aim of the present study was to produce a reconstructed human cornea in vitro by tissue engineering and to characterize the expression of integrins and basement membrane proteins in this reconstructed cornea.

Reconstructed human corneas were obtained by culturing epithelial cells...
