Purpose: To evaluate cell therapy with magnetized human endothelial cells in experimental model of corneal endothelial failure. Methods: Twelve rabbits will undergo the procedure of acute corneal endothelium. Human corneal endothelial cells previously cultured in vitro will be exposed to the complex magnetic nanoparticles that will be incorporated into the cells by endocytosis. The rabbit…
Disorders of the ocular surface and the tear film are considered a heterogenic group of diseases, which result in loss of vision in many patients. In this group, dry-eye syndrome, pterygia, degenerations and dystrophies of the corneal surface, as well as dysplasias are included. The most severe cases of disorders of the ocular surface and the tear film are due to chemical burns, Stevens-J…
The Dry Eye Disease (DED) is a serious public health problem, since it affects a large part of the population, being mostly women over 45 years old. This disease is divided into water deficiency and evaporative type. DED has different degrees of severity and respective conventional and alternative treatments, which still have limitations. Recent studies demonstrate the efficiency of mesen…
The maintenance of corneal epithelium is determined by a distinct population of stem cells (SC) which is probably located in the basal layer of the corneoscleral limbal epithelium. Various pathologic conditions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome, scarring pemphigoid and eye burning, can partially or completely destroy the limbal epithelial SC repository giving rise to what is called limbal …
The Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a rare and severe condition, affecting skin and mucous membranes. The exact cause of the syndrome often can not be identified, but it is believed that this disease represents an exaggerated lymphocytic response, triggered by a drug or infection.SJS covers a wide spectrum of ocular manifestations that are associated with significant visual morbidity. A…
