Corneal Tissue Engineering

Corneal tissue engineering represents a groundbreaking approach to treating various eye disorders by creating biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue function. This field combines cell biology, materials science, and engineering principles to develop artificial corneas that can replace damaged or diseased tissue. With an increasing shortage of donor corneas worldwide, engineered tissues provide a promising alternative to transplantation, reducing rejection risks and improving patient recovery times. Research focuses on optimizing scaffold materials, enhancing cell viability, and ensuring long-term integration within the ocular environment. As this technology evolves, it promises to transform clinical practices and significantly reduce global vision impairment rates.
