Corneal endothelial cell proliferation: a function of cell density.
PURPOSE To determine how stimuli that increase corneal endothelial cell proliferation of human corneas in culture relate to changes in endothelial cell density in the central and peripheral cornea. METHODS Human donor cadaver corneas not suitable for transplantation were divided into four pie-shaped wedges and incubated at 37 degrees C in medium supplemented with fetal bovine serum, epidermal...
متن کاملpredictors of endothelial cell density of corneal grafts after dsaek
purpose: to evaluate endothelial cell density (ecd) and morphology of clear corneal grafts after descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (dsaek) and to determine the factors that influence graft ecd postoperatively. methods: seventy-seven eyes (38 right eyes) of 64 patients (34 female subjects) who underwent dsaek for fuchs’ endothelial dystrophy (n=38) or pseudophakic bullous ker...
متن کاملCorneal endothelial cell density in twins.
Corneal endothelial cell density was measured in normal subjects and in a group of monozygotic and dizygotic twins. Cell density was found to decline with age and to be similar in right and left eyes in normal subjects. Both monozygotic and dizygotic twins were found to have very similar mean endothelial cells densities and particularly so in like-sided eyes.
متن کاملA cell-based model of endothelial cell migration, proliferation and maturation during corneal angiogenesis.
The motivation of this work stems from two critical experimental observations associated with corneal angiogenesis: (1) angiogenesis will not succeed without endothelial cell proliferation, and (2) proliferation mainly occurs at the leading edge of developing sprouts (Sholley et al., Lab. Invest. 51:624-634, 1984). To discover the underlying mechanisms of these phenomena, we develop a cell-base...
متن کاملEffects of diabetic keratopathy on corneal optical density, central corneal thickness, and corneal endothelial cell counts
Diabetic keratopathy is an ocular complication that occurs with diabetes. In the present study, the effect of diabetic keratopathy on corneal optical density, central corneal thickness, and corneal endothelial cell count was investigated. One hundred and eighty diabetic patients (360 eyes) were enrolled in the study during the period from March, 2012 to March, 2013. The patients were divided in...
