Abstract:

Dysfunction of the corneal endothelium due to cell loss caused by aging, disease or trauma can lead to severe visual impairment and blindness. Traditionally, dysfunctional endothelia are managed surgically, by removing the entire central cornea and transplanting either donor corneal tissue (penetrating keratoplasty), or just endothelia isolated from donor corneas. As in many cases it is only the corneal endothelium requiring replacement, many attempts were made over the last decades to develop an endothelial substitute, thereby precluding the need for the use of full donor corneas.

Abstract:

Purpose: Whitish spots are sometimes noted in the corneal endothelium after Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT). One wonders whether this could be laser burns to the corneal endothelium. To evaluate the corneal endothelium after SLT, corneal specular microscopy was performed before and after SLT.Method: 20 patients with open angle glaucoma, who had SLT in February-March 2012, had their corneal endothelium examined with specular microscopy before and after SLT.Results: 4 of the 20 patients showed numerous dark patches/spots on specular microscopy photographs of corneal endothelium after SLT.

Abstract:

Human posterior corneal epithelium (corneal endothelium) has limited proliferative activity both in vivo and in vitro. Disease or dysfunction in these cells leads to impaired corneal transparency of varying degrees of severity, up to blindness. Currently, the only effective standard treatment for corneal endothelial dysfunction is transplantation of donor cornea that contains a pool of healthy and functionally active cells. However, there is a global shortage of donor corneas, which has led to an unmet clinical need and the fact that only 1 patient out of 10 in need receives surgical treatment

Abstract:

Human corneal endothelium (HCE) is a single layer of hexagonal cells that lines the posterior surface of the cornea. It forms the barrier that separates the aqueous humor from the rest of the corneal layers (stroma and epithelium layer). This layer plays a fundamental role in maintaining the hydration and transparency of the cornea, which in turn ensures a clear vision. In vivo, human corneal endothelial cells (HCECs) are generally believed to be nonproliferating. In many cases, due to their nonproliferative nature, any damage to these cells can lead to further issues with Descemet’s membrane

Abstract:

Nowadays, treating corneal diseases arising from injury to the corneal endothelium necessitates donor tissue, but these corneas are extremely scarce. As a result, researchers are dedicating significant efforts to exploring alternative approaches that do not rely on donor tissues. Among these, creating a tissue-engineered scaffold on which corneal endothelial cells can be transplanted holds particular fascination. Numerous functional materials, encompassing natural, semi-synthetic, and synthetic polymers, have already been studied in this regard. In this review, we present a comprehensive overv

The endothelium has both barrier and pump functions, which are important for the maintenance of corneal clarity. Many etiologies, including Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy, surgical trauma, and congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy, lead to endothelial cell dysfunction.

Excessive exposure of the eye to ultraviolet B light (UVB) leads to corneal edema and opacification because of the apoptosis of the corneal endothelium.

Here we hypothesize that NIC may possess the capacity to protect the cornea from UVB-induced endothelial apoptosis.

Abstract:

Characteristic of pseudoexfoliative syndrome (PEX) corneal changes in the form of keratopathy which affects all layers of the cornea as the process progresses is a risk factor in cataract surgery especially in countries with a large elderly population. In cataract surgery, the corneal endothelium deserves increased attention because cells do not recover from their damage (Schlotzer-Schrehardt et al., 1993; Zheng, 2013). We studied corneal endothelial changes in 58 patients (58 eyes) with PEX from the perspective of the progression of the syndrome, risk factors of cataract surgery. From the sta

Abstract:

Background. According to the World Health Organization, corneal diseases are one of the major causes of blindness globally. Endothelial dystrophy is one of the etiological factors leading to corneal diseases. The corneal endothelium is a monolayer of cells with virtually no mitotic activity. When the density of corneal endothelial cells falls below a critical threshold, the endothelium loses its ability to regulate corneal stromal hydration. This leads to corneal clouding and, consequently, to reduced visual acuity and quality of life of the patient. In this regard, various keratoplasty method

Abstract:

The cornea relies on a healthy endothelium to maintain transparency, and damage to endothelial cells can result in corneal oedema and vision loss. Current treatments, which often involve the use of donor corneas, face significant limitations due to a shortage of donor tissue. Although human corneal endothelial cells (HCECs) can be cultured and transplanted, their low attachment rates limit the effectiveness of these treatments. In this review, we examined studies that explore the use of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to enhance the attachment of HCECs to the cornea. We evaluated the effectivene

Abstract:

The cornea is a highly organized, transparent part of fibrous tunic of an eyeball. It acts as the primary infectious and structural barrier of the eye. The cornea is the major refractive element of an adult eye. It consists of epithelium, Bowman's membrane, stroma, Descemet's membrane and endothelium. Although the normal human cornea is avascular, it is supplied via perilimbal blood vessels, the aqueous humor (AqH) and tear film. Afferent innervation to the cornea is provided by long ciliary nerves, which form subepithelial and subbasal nerve plexus. Epithelium is a stratified, non-keratinizin

Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is a bilateral disease of the cornea caused by gradual loss of corneal endothelial cells. Late-onset FECD is strongly associated with the CTG18.1 trinucleotide repeat expansion in the Transcription Factor 4 gene (TCF4), which forms RNA nuclear foci in corneal endothelial cells. To date, 46 RefSeq transcripts of TCF4 are annotated by the National Center of Biotechnology information (NCBI), however the effect of the CTG18.1 expansion on expression of alternative TCF4 transcripts is not completely understood.

Introduction: The corneal endothelium is responsible for the correct hydration of the corneal stroma and for an adequate transport through this tissue. Corneal endothelial layer has a particular organization to maintain its curved shape and function. The corneal endothelium has low proliferative capacity and form a monolayer that is subjected to an even mechanical tension coming from the positive pressure of the aqueous humor. Preserving their barrier function under suboptimal conditions, such as corneal pathologies, age and transplantation, is essential for maintaining corneal transparency. M

However, it is non-feasible to extract enough DNA from surgically isolated FECD corneal endothelial tissue to determine repeat length based on current technology.

Six seals had bilateral eye lesions. Corneal scars were the most frequently observed lesion, followed by prominent lens sutures, cataracts, and iris depigmentations. Corneal edema, active corneal ulceration, or inflammation was not observed.
