Abstract:

In vitro reconstruction of tissue-engineered corneas for transplantation is an effective way to cure corneal blindness, and the key issue is the source of corneal epithelial seed cells. Due to the short life-span of corneal epithelial cells in vitro, improvement of culture techniques to obtain the cells with strong proliferation ability is believed to solve the seed cells source problem. In this present paper, we reviewed the in vitro culture techniques of corneal epithelial cells including culture methods and conditions.

Key words: Tissue-engineering cornea; Corneal epithelial cells; Seed cells; In vitro culture
