CORNEAL CELL REGENERATIVE BIOLOGY, A NEW THERAPEUTIC PERSPECTIVE OF EDEMATOUS KERATOPATHY
Abstract:
As alternatives to the limited availability of donor cornea from cadaver to perform
perforating or just endothelial keratoplasty, the same as the complications that consist of graft
rejection, currently, new therapeutic alternatives are sought to consist in the regeneration or
replacement of endothelial cells in view of recovering eyesight. The end result shows that
regenerative cell therapy is limited, but attempts continue and hopes are that, in the future, the results
will be favourable. That is why, presently, isolation and cultivation are sought through genetic
engineering of cells which should play a vital role in the treatment of endothelial dysfunction.
