Corneal scarring, a leading cause of vision loss, lacks effective treatments. This chapter details established in vivo models for studying corneal injury responses, aiding future therapeutic development.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Tissue Engineering

Background:

  • Corneal scarring, resulting from stromal injury, significantly impairs vision globally.
  • Current interventions for corneal fibrosis are inadequate.
  • Understanding cellular responses to corneal injury is crucial for developing new therapies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present established in vivo models for corneal wound healing research.
  • To facilitate the investigation of epithelial and stromal responses following corneal injury.

Main Methods:

  • Description of established in vivo experimental models for inducing corneal injury.
  • Methodologies for analyzing epithelial and stromal tissue responses post-injury.

  • These models allow for reproducible study of corneal wound healing processes.
  • Researchers can observe and quantify cellular and tissue alterations in response to injury.

Conclusions:

  • The described in vivo models are valuable tools for advancing corneal fibrosis research.
  • Further investigation using these models may lead to novel therapeutic strategies for vision restoration.
