Another important aspect of corneal wound healing is the regeneration of the epithelial basement membrane (EBM). Studies have indicated that the successful regeneration of the EBM is critical for ...

MEEI.HARVARD.EDU Recurrent corneal erosion syndrome (RCES) is a disorder characterised by a dysfunctional epithelial ecosystem. It often begins after trauma, or in the setting of epithelial basement ...

Conclusions: Mare’s tail lines are caused by basal laminar material, assumed to be chiefly of epithelial origin, which invaginates the corneal epithelium. The presence of occasional ... could explain ...

This requires healthy basement membrane and the creation of epithelial cell adhesion complexes to the underlying cornea and between adjacent epithelial cells. If these cellular adhesion complexes ...

Background The bronchial epithelium and underlying reticular basement membrane (RBM) have a close spatial and functional inter-relationship and are considered an epithelial–mesenchymal trophic unit ...

Results: Amniotic membrane (AM) can function in the eye as a basement membrane substitute ... persistent epithelial defects of the cornea, and diseases that cause conjunctival scarring.

Sutureless amniotic membrane (ProKera) was found to be partially or completely effective in corneal healing or symptomatic ... with more healthy looking epithelium in earlier stages of ...

The indication for insertion of ProKera was nonhealing corneal ulcers ... was recurrence of epithelial defect after the tarsorrhaphy was removed. Mean time to dissolution of membrane was 11.2 ...

4 The amniotic membrane acts as the scaffold on which the donor limbal tissue attaches and begins to grow. Gradually this membrane disintegrates and a sheet of epithelial cells covers the corneal ...
