Progenitor cells for ocular surface regenerative therapy.
The integrity and normal function of the corneal epithelium are essential for maintaining the cornea's transparency and vision. The existence of a cell population with progenitor characteristics in the limbus maintains a dynamic of constant epithelial repair and renewal. Currently, cell-based therapies for bio-replacement, such as cultured limbal epithelial transplantation and cultured oral muc...
متن کاملDependence of corneal stem/progenitor cells on ocular surface innervation.
PURPOSE Neurotrophic keratopathy (NK) is a corneal degeneration associated with corneal nerve dysfunction. It can cause corneal epithelial defects, stromal thinning, and perforation. However, it is not clear if and to which extent epithelial stem cells are affected in NK. The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between corneolimbal epithelial progenitor/stem cells and sensory...
متن کاملNeural stem/progenitor cells as promising candidates for regenerative therapy of the central nervous system
Neural transplantation is a promising therapeutic strategy for neurodegenerative diseases and other disorders of the central nervous system (CNS) such as Parkinson and Huntington diseases, multiple sclerosis or stroke. Although cell replacement therapy already went through clinical trials for some of these diseases using fetal human neuroblasts, several significant limitations led to the search...
متن کاملRegenerative Medicine for the Kidney: Renotropic Factors, Renal Stem/Progenitor Cells, and Stem Cell Therapy
The kidney has the capacity for regeneration and repair after a variety of insults. Over the past few decades, factors that promote repair of the injured kidney have been extensively investigated. By using kidney injury animal models, the role of intrinsic and extrinsic growth factors, transcription factors, and extracellular matrix in this process has been examined. The identification of renal...
متن کاملPlatelet interaction with progenitor cells: potential implications for regenerative medicine.
Circulating endothelial progenitor cells have been shown to instigate new vessel formation via angiogenesis and neovascularisation and to induce ongoing vascular and tissue repair by domiciliation to sites of vascular or tissue damage. However, the mechanisms that recruit circulating endothelial progenitor cells towards vascular lesions and regulate repair mechanisms of ischemic peripheral orga...
