PROCESS FOR PRODUCING ANTERIOR OCULAR SEGMENT RELATED CELL SHEETS AND THREE DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURES FOR REGENERATION OF CORNEAL TISSUE

摘要

"An anterior ocular segment related cell sheet or three-dimensional structure obtained by cultivating corneal epithelial cells in layers that are solely composed of anterior ocular segment related cells of at least one of corneal epithelial cells, corneal endothelial cells, conjunctival epithelial cells and epithelial stem cells and which have only a few structural defects as they have been recovered retaining the intercellular desmosome structure and the basement membrane-like protein between cell and substrate and having satisfactory strength as a single sheet and process for producing the same."
