Mesenchymal stromal cells for ocular surface repair

Introduction: Cornea is a transparent, robust tissue that comprises highly organized cells. Disruption of this specialized tissue can lead to scarring and subsequent blindness, making corneal damage a considerable challenge worldwide. At present, the available medical treatments are unable to address the wide range of corneal diseases. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have increasingly been investigated for their regenerative effect on ocular...
