23 Jul Method for preparing tissue engineering cornea
Abstract
The invention relates to a method for preparing tissue engineering cornea. Amniotic epithelial stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells are adopted as seed cells; after in-vitro induced differentiation, the seed cells are planted on both surfaces of a natural acellular corneal stroma; and the tissue engineering cornea is formed by in-vitro organ culture. A scaffold used in the method overcomes the difficulty of large immunological rejection of a xenogenic corneal stroma and reserves the structure (capable of restoring the transparence of the cornea) and main components (comprising growth factorscapable of promoting the cornea to grow, proliferate and differentiate) of the natural cornea. Compared with a product in the prior art, the cornea has the advantages of low cost, convenient operation, wide source and easy storage; and the tissue engineering cornea containing living cells has certain elasticity and tenacity, easy change of shape size and thickness and extremely low immunogenicity, avoids complications caused by non-corneal materials, can be reformed by receptor cells after being implanted into a body, can be quickly integrated with an organism for realizing transparency, and is suitable for restoring cornea damage caused by various reasons.
