Epithelial response in penetrating keratoplasty

American Journal of Ophthalmology
D B Kaye

Abstract

In 30 patients who were followed up, discrete corneal epithelial dots developed in a strictly confined area of the peripheral donor cornea within two months after penetrating keratoplasty. The incidence was higher, although not statistically significant, in the disparate group (55%) as compared to the isometric group (30%). The change in dot density that occurs after nylon suture removal is consistent with the idea of lateral cell movement in the corneal epithelium. This study confirms that donor epithelium persists for long periods of time.

Actin, Myosin & Cell Movement

Contractile forces generated by the actin-myosin cytoskeleton are critical for morphogenesis, but the cellular and molecular mechanisms of contraction have been elusive for many cell shape changes and movements. Here is the latest research on the roles of actin and myosin in cell movement.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
