Stem Cell Related Patent Number US6610538
| Title: | Reconstructed laminae of human epithelium corneae and method of producing the same | | Inventors: | De Luca, Michele; Ardea, Italy
Pellegrini, Graziella; Ardea, Italy | | Summary: | Described herein are methods of producing laminae of human epithelium cornea in vitro via the preparation of a fibrin substrate and limbar cornea cell cultures. Methods are described by which the laminae of human epithelium corneae are reconstructed in vitro from cultures of limbar stem cells. Further disclosed are methods of selecting and transferring such cells to the fibrin substrate, within a ring compatible with the human cornea size. Therapeutic uses in grafts are included. | | Abstract: | A method of reconstructing laminae of human epithelium corneae in vitro to be used in grafts from cultures of limbar stem cells as well as a method of selecting and transferring such cells to fibrin substrate. | | US Patent Website: | Click Here for Full Text of Patent | | Title Number: | US6610538 | | Application Number: | US2001000961314 | | Date Filed: | 25/09/2001 | | Date Published: | 26/08/2003 | | Assignee: | Provincia Italiana Della Congregazione Dei Figli Dell' Immacolata Concezione - Istituto Dermopatico Dell' Immacolata, Rome, Italy |
