Abstract in another language
Generation of a tissue-engineered cornea composed of biomaterials and cells will reduce dependency on the short supply of donor corneal tissue. In the last decade, the supply of viable donor tissue for corneal transplants is relatively less than the demand for donor corneal tissue. A tissue- engineered cornea that incorporates cells with a biocompatible and aligned nanofibrous scaffolds that replicates the stromal extracellular matrix will be an optimal alternative to synthetic replacements and donor tissue. Biodegradable aligned electrospun substitutes of a tissue- engineered cornea would also serve as an in- vivo and ex-vivo platform for investigating the mechanisms of corneal diseases, regeneration of corneal cell layers and human cellular responses to new ophthalmic drugs.
