摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for preparing corneal endothelial progenitor cells by adherent culturing a cell population isolated from corneal endothelial cell tissue at a low density by using a serum-free medium. The present invention also relates to a method for preparing corneal endothelial cells by differentiation-inducing the corneal endothelial progenitor cells obtained by the aforementioned method. According to the present invention, corneal endothelial progenitor cells can be selectively grown from a corneal tissue-derived cell population, and corneal endothelial cells obtained by inducing the corneal endothelial progenitor cells can be applied to treatment of corneal endothelial diseases. As a result, problems of corneal transplantation such as shortage of donors and occurrence of rejection can be solved.

The present invention relates to: a method for inducing differentiation into an epithelial progenitor cell/stem cell population or a corneal epithelial cell population by culturing, under particular conditions, induced pluripotent stem cells induced from mammalian somatic cells or undifferentiated stem cells; an epithelial progenitor cell/stem cell population or a corneal epithelial cell population obtained by the method; and a cell preparation for the treatment of epithelial disease and a cell sheet, which are prepared using these cell populations.
摘要:
A synthetic vitreous material contains a self-assembling peptide and a salt, and has an osmotic pressure of 40 mOsm/kg to 200 mOsm/kg. Such a synthetic vitreous material is not toxic to ocular tissue, is capable of maintaining an intraocular tamponade effect over a long term, and is easy to handle and inject into an eye of a patient.

A major object of the present invention is to provide a method for inducing cell differentiation into corneal epithelial stem cells and/or corneal epithelial cells, for the easy production of a corneal epithelial cell sheet having superior safety in view of the possibility of vascularization and the like occurring. A method for inducing differentiation of a pluripotent stem cell into a corneal epithelial stem cell and/or a corneal epithelial cell, the method comprising the step of culturing a pluripotent stem cell in the presence of a stromal cell or an amnion-derived factor.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a sheet for corneal transplants comprising corneal endothelial cells on a gelatin hydrogel, which is obtainable by seeding and culturing corneal endothelial cells on a gelatin hydrogel coated with collagen. The sheet of the present invention is extremely useful as a sheet for corneal transplants not only for its biocompatibility and biodegradability, but also for its high transparency.
