Corneal Endothelial Regeneration Using Mesenchymal Stem Cells Derived from Human Umbilical Cord

Abstract excerpt

Corneal blindness is the third leading cause of blindness in the world, and one of the main etiologies is dysfunction of the corneal endothelium. Current treatment of corneal endothelial disease is allogenic corneal transplantation, which is limited by the global shortage of donor corneas and immunological rejection. The corneal endothelium consists of a monolayer of cells derived from the neural crest and...
