An essential role of the cornea is to contribute to light focusing on the retina. Its curved shape, and therefore its ability to focus light, must be perfectly stable to ensure a sharp image despite ...
Numerous animal species have been proposed as sources of corneal tissue for obtaining decellularized xenografts. The selection of an appropriate animal model must take into consideration the ...
The stroma is the layer with the most robust anisotropic properties in the cornea. It mainly consists of hundreds of lamellae. The resultant lamellar orientation in the stromal center is random, but ...
At a mere 15 microns thick, an incredibly strong layer has been discovered sandwiched within the human cornea. The new layer is called Dua’s layer, after its discoverer Harminder Dua, an ...
Medical researchers have 3D printed an artificial cornea using the bioink which is made of decellularized corneal stroma and stem cells. Because this cornea is made of corneal tissue-derived bioink, ...
