Research Article: Construction of tissue engineered cornea with skin-derived corneal endothelial-like cell and mechanism research for the cell differentiation

Date Published: 2024-09-02

Abstract:
Introduction: Corneal endothelial transplantation accounts for most of corneal transplantation for treating corneal diseases, however severe shortage of corneal donors is the biggest obstacle. In our previous study, we differentiated human skin-derived precursors (SKPs) into corneal endothelial cell (CEC)-like cells with a co-culture system. In this study, we aimed to investigate cell differentiation molecular mechanism and evaluate the function of CEC-like cells by developing tissue-engineered corneas in order to improve cell production efficiency and provide basic research for clinical transformation.
