Improvement of an Effective Protocol for Directed Differentiation of Human Adipose Tissue-Derived Adult Mesenchymal Stem Cells to Corneal Endothelial Cells

Corneal disease affects 12.5 million individuals worldwide, with 2 million new cases each year. The standard treatment consists of a corneal transplantation from a human donor; however, the worldwide demand significantly exceeds the available supply. Lamellar endothelial keratoplasty, the replacemen...
