    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Tissue Engineering
    • Biomaterials Science

    Background:

    • Donor scarcity drives research into artificial cornea substitutes.
    • Tissue engineering protocols are being developed for corneal regeneration.
    • The cornea's unique structure presents challenges for biofabrication.

    Discussion:

    • Cell isolation and culture techniques for corneal cells (keratocytes, epithelial, endothelial) were established.
    • Microanalytical quality control ensured the viability of cultured corneal cells.
    • A multilayered construct mimicking normal corneal histology was successfully fabricated.

    Key Insights:

    • Successful development of a full-thickness corneal substitute using cell culture.
    • Demonstrated ability to replicate normal corneal histological structure.
    • Potential to address donor cornea shortages through engineered alternatives.

    Outlook:

    • Further research may optimize the engineered cornea for clinical transplantation.
    • This approach could lead to reduced waiting times for corneal surgery.
    • Advancements in biomaterials and cell culture may enhance functional integration.
