Corneal Tissue Regeneration

Molecular classification
Extracellular matrix remodeling, Growth factor signaling, Cytokine signaling, Cellular differentiation
01

Overview

Corneal tissue regeneration is the process by which the cornea repairs itself following injury or disease. It involves a coordinated response of cellular proliferation, migration, differentiation, and extracellular matrix remodeling, regulated by growth factors, cytokines, and extracellular matrix components. Key cellular players include limbal stem cells, corneal epithelial cells, and keratocytes. Therapeutic approaches aim to replenish lost stem cell populations or enhance endogenous repair mechanisms, while challenges remain in restoring native tissue architecture without inducing scarring.
