Effect of culture medium on propagation and phenotype of corneal stroma-derived stem cells (2015)
Journal Article
Sidney, L. E., Branch, M. J., Dua, H. S., & Hopkinson, A. (2015). Effect of culture medium on propagation and phenotype of corneal stroma-derived stem cells. Cytotherapy, 17(12), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcyt.2015.08.003

Background: The limbal area of the corneal stroma has been identified as a source of mesenchymal-like stem cells, which have potential for exploitation as a cell therapy. However, the optimal culture conditions are disputed and few direct media compa... Read More about Effect of culture medium on propagation and phenotype of corneal stroma-derived stem cells.

Corneal Decellularization: A Method of Recycling Unsuitable Donor Tissue for Clinical Translation? (2015)
Journal Article
Wilson, S. L., Sidney, L. E., Dunphy, S. E., Dua, H. S., & Hopkinson, A. (2016). Corneal Decellularization: A Method of Recycling Unsuitable Donor Tissue for Clinical Translation?. Current Eye Research, 41(6), 769-782. https://doi.org/10.3109/02713683.2015.1062114

Background: There is a clinical need for biomimetic corneas that are as effective, preferably superior, to cadaveric donor tissue. Decellularized tissues are advantageous compared to synthetic or semi-synthetic engineered tissues in that the native m...

Clinical evaluation and characterisation of corneal vascularisation (2015)
Journal Article
Faraj, L., Said, D. G., AL AQABA, M., Otri, A. M., & Dua, H. S. (2016). Clinical evaluation and characterisation of corneal vascularisation. British Journal of Ophthalmology, 100(3), 315-322. doi:10.1136/bjophthalmol-2015-306686

Background/aims: To clinically characterise corneal neovascularisation (CVas) with a view to elaborate clinical presentations and to standardise descriptors for clinical evaluation and research. Methods: Corneas of 165 patients with CVas due to a va... Read More about Clinical evaluation and characterisation of corneal vascularisation.

Calcified corneal nerves (2015)
