Tissue Engineering of Corneal Stromal Layer with Dermal Fibroblasts: Phenotypic and Functional Switch of Differentiated Cells in Cornea

Corneal Shape, Volume, and Interocular Symmetry: Parameters to Optimize the Design of Biosynthetic Corneal Substitutes

“…A number of biomaterials are being studied for the production of corneal substitutes so as to replace a diseased cornea without the need for human eye bank tissue. [2][3][4] Biosynthetic corneal substitutes offer significant advantages over eye bank native transplants, including sterility, absence of risk of immune rejection, quality control, and the possibility of high-volume production. One of the unique advantages of corneal substitutes over native tissue is the possibility of tailoring their shape, aiming at a more successful postoperative outcome.…”

Impact of Cell Source on Human Cornea Reconstructed by Tissue Engineering

“…Recently, the use of neonatal dermal fibroblasts for corneal stroma engineering was reported. 14 However, the impact of dermal fibroblasts on epithelial thickness and function remains to be determined.…”

Evaluación de matrices de fibrina cultivadas y enriquecidas con factores de crecimiento en la profilaxis de la fístula broncopleural postneumonectomía

“…Las células de la dermis han sido utilizadas en diversas técnicas de ingeniería tisular como son la reparación de defectos tendinosos 83 o en la creación de la capa estromal de la córnea 84 , de lo cual se deriva que este tipo celular derivado del mesodermo, en un ambiente de tejido específico, puede alterar su fenotipo y comportarse como otro tipo celular.…”
