Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Corneal grafting is a common procedure, but donor tissue scarcity worldwide limits its availability.
  • Replicating the complex corneal stroma in the lab has proven difficult, with existing substitutes failing to match its optical and mechanical properties.
  • Cellular therapies using stem cells offer a potential alternative for corneal stroma regeneration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review preclinical evidence on corneal stroma regeneration using cellular therapies.
  • To evaluate the potential of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for corneal repair.

Main Methods:

  • Summary of in vitro and in vivo preclinical studies.
  • Analysis of stem cell capabilities in collagen production, scar modulation, and transparency enhancement.
  • Review of animal models for corneal stroma regeneration.

Main Results:

  • Stem cells (iPSCs and MSCs) demonstrate potential for producing new collagen and remodeling scars within the corneal stroma.
  • Cellular therapies show promise in enhancing corneal transparency.
  • Preclinical data indicates feasibility for corneal stroma regeneration.

Conclusions:

  • Cellular therapy using iPSCs and MSCs is a promising avenue for corneal stroma regeneration.
  • Further research and clinical translation are warranted to address the limitations of current corneal transplantation.
  • Regenerative approaches may offer solutions for the growing demand for corneal tissue.
