[HTML][HTML] Regenerative medicine in Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy
AE Yuan, R Pineda - Taiwan Journal of Ophthalmology, 2021 - journals.lww.com
The management of Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) has evolved rapidly since
the introduction of endothelial keratoplasty (EK). In recent years, advances in our
understanding of endothelial cell biology, in particular with respect to the regenerative
capacity of endothelial cells, have opened the door to novel therapeutic options that stray
from the traditional paradigm of allograft transplantation. We review the development of
descemetorhexis without EK (DWEK) as a primary treatment for FECD and discuss the …
