Short-term and long-term complications after transplantation of cultivated limbal epithelium

Recent advances in tissue engineering have facilitated the development of new strategies in ocular surface reconstruction. Limitations and possibilities of ex vivo cultivation and limbal epithelium cell culture techniques as well as the short and long-term complications after transplantation of ex v...

Description
Summary:Recent advances in tissue engineering have facilitated the development of new strategies in ocular surface reconstruction. Limitations and possibilities of ex vivo cultivation and limbal epithelium cell culture techniques as well as the short and long-term complications after transplantation of ex vivo expansion of cultivated limbal epithelium for the treatment of limbal stem cell deficiency are summarized in this review.
