Use of irradiated human amnion as a matrix for limbal stem cell culture

Several ocular diseases affect the corneal surface; the development of effective technologies for the treatment of corneal lesions has brought about an improvement in the quality of life of affected patients. The aim of this study is to culture and characterize limbal stem cells cultured on gamma (60Co) radiosterilized human amnion (RHA). Limbal stem cells were isolated from ten preserved samples of corneal transplant. The cells were cultured...
