Corneal transplantation is currently the major solution in the treatment of severe corneal diseases. However, it is restricted due to the limited number of corneal donors. A tissue-engineered cornea is a potential substitute which could help overcome this limitation. This research envisages the development of a novel tissue-engineered corneal stroma consisting of bacterial cellulose (BC)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)...
