Sep 2nd, 2022 - Ocular surface burns can be caused by chemicals (alkalis and acids) or direct heat. One effect of the burn is damage to the limbal epithelial stem cells of the ocular surface with delayed re-epithelialisation, stem cell failure, and conjunctivalis...

Aug 9th, 2022 - HOLOCORE FOLLOW-UP prospective study offers the opportunity to collect long-term efficacy and safety data after one or two treatments with Holoclar. Moreover, since Holoclar (study drug used in the main HOLOCORE interventional clinical trial) is s...

Jan 27th, 2022 - Some severe ocular burns or other rare ocular pathologies can be associated with a total loss of corneal epithelial stem cells (i.e. Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency - LSCD), which leads to cornea invasion by the conjunctiva and a subsequent opacificat...

Feb 28th, 2020 - The purpose of this pilot study is to explore whether corneal epithelial autograft (EA) combined with allogeneic middle lamellar keratoplasty (AMLK) is more effective than limbal autograft (LA) with AMLK for ocular surface reconstruction in patien...

Oct 21st, 2019 - The corneal cross-linking technique has been shown to strengthen the cornea and resist degradation by the body's own enzymes. The use of highly-resistant donor corneas is meant to eliminate the serious post-operative complication of corneal meltin...

Sep 3rd, 2019 - The limbal stem cell deficiency syndrome is characterized by invasion of the corneal surface by an epithelium with a conjunctival differentiation, and, clinically, by opacification and vascularization of the corneal epithelium with impaired cornea...

Jan 2nd, 2018 - Ocular burns from detergent pods, retinopathy after the solar eclipse, undiagnosed macular degeneration, and mortality in older women who had cataract surgery led the list of JAMA Ophthalmology's most popular articles in 2017. These stories were i...

Jul 21st, 2016 - Viewpoint The corneal epithelium is produced by the stem cells located deep in the palisades of Vogt at the limbus. When this limbal tissue is damaged, it either results in the corneal epithelium failing to heal, in turn causing a persistent epith...

Aug 4th, 2015 - A treatment algorithm for managing patients who presented to an emergency department with mild ocular alkali burns led to standardized care and better outcomes in a small, single-center, retrospective study. Specifically, after in-house treatment ...

Jun 24th, 2010 - NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Jun 23 - In 112 patients with burn-related corneal destruction, Italian researchers report a success rate over 75% in restoring transparent epithelium with autologous limbal stem cell transplants. Twenty-seven patients ev...
