Abstract excerpt
The transplantation of ex vivo expanded limbal epithelial progenitor cells (LEPCs) on amniotic membrane or fibrin gel is an established therapeutic strategy to regenerate the damaged corneal surface in patients with limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD), but the long-term success rate is restricted. A scaffold with niche-specific structure and extracellular matrix (ECM) composition might have the advantage to...
